The pompadour fade haircut is a men’s haircut that combines the classic pompadour with a taper fade. Pomp fade haircuts have cool short sides and long, high-volume hair on top. The pompadour fade is very versatile. Wear it slicked back or loose and shiny.
Loose and messy pompadours give the look a natural, laidback vibe, but you can also style it slicked back and polished for a more structured effect. What makes this cut even more versatile and unique is the variation of fades you can choose from!
Nick Jonas, Bruno Mars, Brad Pitt, and Justin Bieber each had their own versions of a pomp complemented by a neat fade, styling it in an undercut, a hard side part, or a slicked-back. Celebrity barber Everson Perninha has tried working all kinds of fades with a classic pompadour, and the results on his feed are impressive!
You can easily create the pompadour-signature volume with strong hold products like pomade, clay, and wax. Beards can also add extra crisp when combined with a pomp and fade.
