What defines Textured pompadour?
A textured pompadour builds height at the front and sweeps it back in an arc. Separation through the top keeps the finish from reading as one smooth surface.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Check the width and lift above the forehead. In profile, locate the peak of the arc and where it drops toward the crown.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show the amount of daily height you want and whether the sides should sit close or keep some length. Ask how your front will hold the sweep.
