James Dean's Pompadour style.James Dean, an American Legend, was born on February 8th, 1931, in Marion, Indiana, USA. He was a great actor. He is also well-known for his distinctive pompadour hairstyle. The style is created by combing the sides back & blending it into the top, while combing the front straight up & creating a soft curl above the forehead. If you want to get a dry look, you can use a non-shine pomade.

Well done, i was really waiting for more legend stars hairstyles and Dean was one of them.
Love your blog, it´s cool.
P.S. I´m waiting for rockandrollers haristyles like Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger, etcs.
Genius Blog. Like The Sartorialist but for hair...this has been a long time coming. Cheers!
What face shapes would this work with?
This style will work best on oval & shorter face shapes like round & heart.
i have blonde hair and a roundish head...but when i try to do my hair long like this, i look like a 50 year old mafia don. i have long hair,bangs down to my nose, so is that the problem?
this is the only style i wear lately, and its totally by accident. my hair just seems to fall that way. but after couple times of not wearing a hati got a lot of compliments at work from female and male customers. obviously the classics arent losing any strength in fashion.
hey
I am in college and used to wear the short hair with the spiked front and the rest tosseled. I grew my hair out to pull of the James Dean look and I have been getting tons of compliments. The Dean style never dies.
Can anyone reccomend a styling product to use? I'm looking for a non shine type of look, sort of like the second and third pictures of James there.
I'm trying to get away from my lazy man's buzz cut. stage I'm at now is very short on the side and medium on top in sort of a sloppy quiff (Think Morrissey). Would like to get the james dean style when my hair grows out enough.
I'm using Garnier Fructis Style "surf hair" Texture paste. nice dry look, not stiff at all but keeps everything in place. Its great! if i knew about this stuff years ago I would never have had that boring buzz cut! Great Site, bTW
now this is a true pimp!
I got my hair cut and it came out in a James Dean style purely by chance, but I think it looks awesome. The guy who cut my hair used some sort of "hair paste" to get that look, and I've been testing how long it will hold out for. So far its been 5 days and the stuff is still holding out...
