Women's Pompadour Or Quiff Hairstyle // Diy // How to

Hi everyone! Lately I've been getting a lot of requests about my pompadour well fake pompadour haircut/style whatever you want to call it So yeah I did get my haircut again since the last video or a couple times since that video we did sorry I didn't video tape it this time but we cut a little bit shorter mohawk section through it's pretty much the same except we went a little bit shorter in the mohawk section and tried to blend it in a little bit it's grown out this is like four or five weeks it's getting a little bit harder to do now so hopefully the video still works but what i've been doing is i've been after I get out of the shower when it's still really wet i'll comb it all forward the reason i've been doing that is because the roots over direct and they dry a little bit like they get to where it's in between wet and dry not really wet but the ends are used to going forward so they set in a little bit that way then when you blow dry it back it gives it more volume it has the direction going like this so it gets really big so keep that in mind I comb it all forward when its real wet then let it dry while i'm doing my makeup and getting dressed and everything then I use a little bit of root pump I usually start back here and this is the big sexy hair root pump spray mousse you could use regular mousse too if you don't have the root pump redken guts is a really good one too you just spray a little bit I usually do it back here because up in here I use a lot of product with other stuff where it's dry and I don't want it to get too sticky you can just do a little bit now we are ready to start blow drying hopefully you can still hear my voice. I have a mic on and i've been a little sick so i'll try to talk loud I blow dry the sides really really flat and I mostly finger dry all of this except for maybe right here in the back of the crown I use a big round brush because I don't want it to get flat you want the pompadour to have big volume all the way through even a little bit into the back here and then start to smooth in You'd have to have a pretty textured hair cut be able to do it like this where it's longer or you could just use the same technique a little bit through the top if you have short shaved sides you could still use some of these tips and if you have a really really long hair you'll probably have to do a lot more teasing and back combing than i'm going to be doing I'm not going to need to really do any of that because of how much texture we have razor cut and thinning shear and a little bit shorter in the crown here I mean in the mohawk area you can see its about that long in most of it and even in the bangs it's a little bit longer in the front so it angles down alright so i'm going to turn on the blowdryer and i'm going to start drying everything on my right side forward and kinda up in the back area right here and then on the left side the same thing forward and up like a mohawk i'm kind of doing a like a mohawk in the back on these two sides I'm pushing the hair around my face forward and trying to wrap it tight around my head this is also called wrap like a flat wrap dry you can use a brush if you want or a comb brushes are easier actually so I have a paddle brush here i'm going to help with directing it I use my fingers a lot just pulling it down in the direction I want to do it and you don't want a lot of volume right here on the side you want to keep it flat just continue to pull down on it then when you go up to the top you will start pushing up in the mohawk so there's definitely going to be some kind of part in here I don't draw the part in because I like it to look more soft so I let the hair fall down as it pleases you want to go with the direction of the hair to the end and that's going to help smooth down the cuticle you wouldn't want to be blowdrying up this way because that would blow the cuticle open you want to smooth the cuticle down any time you blowdry even now i'm pushing the hair up i'm still pushing it in the direction that I want it to go from the root to the ends anytime I do the back on this hairstyle i'm using my fingers and pulling it tight down to my head as I blowdry pulling it tight down and leaving this section right here I'm not pulling that down i'm just doing underneath below the roll of the head in the nape section that feels pretty dry okay I can't see what i'm doing alright you can see it starting to take form this is going down and forward it's still a little bit wet so now we're gonna do we will round brush this little tiny mohawk section right here don't do the sides because they'll get puffy I have a large round brush this is the monster vent brush I think it's a number three but i've used it so much that i've peeled it off anyway it's like it's pretty big i'm not sure what number it is it's probably number three so i'm going to take that and do this little section right here alright now it's time to do this front part so what i'm going to do i'm going to blow dry it up on both sides and then i'm going to take this round brush and i'll round brush this forward i'm using my cool shot on this I don't want to burn it off you have to be careful and then back keep doing that mohawk we have lots of volume on the top and that's what we want keep blow drying the mohawk area this way and then this way and that is creating lots of volume on the sides where you want it then you can start taking this back now once it's dry and you have lots of volume you can start pushing it backwards with the blowdryer i'm going to start to tuck the hair thats dry around the ears i'm blowdrying the mohawk section up on both sides this is a really big pompadour. HOLY COW! my hair is growing out a lot I'm going to have to cut it if I want to keep doing this you can see there's still some volume in the back alright feeling pretty dry okay so we're done drying it now we just have to add some product it's too big you want to have it more in mohawk section so what i'm going to use i'm going to use the powder play by big Sexy this is one of my favorite things it's going to make it feel like it's back-combed but it won't look like it's back-combed it won't have all that rattiness in it I just sprinkle it around up here then I run my hands through it and that just gives it a lot of stay power it doesn't feel like it's going to fall down any more you can even do some in the Mohawk area where it parts and pull it down so i'm moving down my sides a lot leaving this middle section up so there we go and I've done it sometimes where I have it curve like put a little bit of movement in it like this you just play with it and fall wherever it wants that day it's going pretty smooth today like straight up so i'll just wear it like that and then in the back you can do a little bit of back-combing because you want this to not be very flat so the way you do the back-combing is you lift the hair up and you stick the comb in about half way and push down a little bit now i've seen people put the comb in and go up and down that doesn't do anything you need to put it in, pull it out, stick it in push it down, pull it out that's how you're going to get it once you have a few sections done i'm going to go back a little more now this is usually the only place I have to do a little bit because I want some more body back there alright so now we are ready for some hairspray once you get it where you want it i'm using the spray-n-play by Big Sexy Hair this has a little bit of play area in it so if you spray something you can run your hands through it and move it a little bit it's not rock hard right away that's why they call it spray and play right? I do both sides in the middle I usually go down the sides and try to smooth these around a little bit more if they are too puffy you can flat iron then straight if they are bothering you there we go spray it play with it and that's it I hope you guys like my pompadour haircut style kind of a mock pompadour because i'm not brave enough yet to shave the sides of my head there it it it's pretty simple hope you guys liked it we'll see you guys later by! I forgot to tell you guys I know you're going to ask because you always do this is the GHD blow dryer I love it they run about $150 bucks if you have a license I might have actually gotten it on sale at that price they're kinda spendy but this is the best blowdryer i've ever owned awesome GHD is the brand has a really good cool button cool shot and then the buttons are all kind of set in so that you don't hit them with your hand while you're blowdrying your hair so I really like that thanks guys! See ya! %uh our
