way off topic! pompadour psychobilly haircut

[Boris]

Sorry for going way off topic ! But when i was a tad younger...way back when :shock: I used to sport a mohawk....but i have this urge in me to get my hair cut into a proper pompadour/ psychobilly style!
Mid-life crisis ...call it what you want, at 47 do you think i can pull it off? Any other guys on here sporting one? Please post pics!
Cheers!

there's nothing wrong with sporting a pomp at ne age......i have been doing a pomp for about 2 years but i haven't got a great picture of it........here's a pic from my work x-mas party....

next time i put mine up i will get a couple pics...

When I was a school boy, anybody with a pompador was at least 50. :lol: "Old greaser" wasn't considered a compliment. :mrgreen:

Nice one Von Stans! Thats Cool!! I was thinking somewhere between yours ....and maybe completly shaved or grade 1 sided's and back ....a little more punk maybe?

 

[spinman]

as one who shaves it clean every 2 days, I say if you have a nice full head of hair, then GO FOR IT! Elvis'd be proud.

Cheers for those! They not only from England but from the Northeast like me! Its a great sound isnt it?
I've always loved the way punk has connected with different genres....reggea, ska, rock and roll... but who would have thought Rockabilly! Apart from the Meteors ! But its SO stood the test of time i think 8).

The greasers at my school shave the sides completly more than in the pics from sensor and half of the back sort of like a pompador mohawk.

Wish I had the hair for THIS!!!!

 

[Boris]

Woaw! Thats way cool! I wish I had the chin for it!!

 

[Daddyar]

Go for it!!!! When I was heavy into my rockabilly days, I had a flat top with fenders a couple times. If I can find some pics, I'll post them. Nowadays, I kind have a mini pomp. Of course, it always looks best fresh from the barber shop!
