Flight of the Pompadour on Nowness.com
When we were on our digital lunch time stroll through our favourite blogs and websites, we were excited to see that the featured video of the day on Nowness.com starred one of our favourtie haircuts - the Rockabilly championed Pompadour. The Pompadour's had a good few years with Alex Turner and David Beckham both sporting the style and bringing it to wider world attention.
The director Karan Kandhari has personal quiff experience and says 'I find quiffs funny. As a sort of display of masculinity they are the most delicate, temperamental things. There was a constant battle on set to keep them erect as they were melting under the lights. I had a quiff for many years but it started to rule my life so I hung up the comb. I now look like a bum, but at least there's no grease on my pillow.”
At Murdock, we certainly get a fair few clients asking us for help to achieve a similar look which isn't the easiest to style. Maybe they too, like the boy in the film, had to ask their Mums before the experts saved their quiffs.
