Featured Style: Classic Natural Pomp

The Natural Pomp is the bread and butter of the modern barbershop.

You might know it as a short Back and Sides, this example adds a little bit of modest flair with a slight pomp in the fringe.

While modest in nature, the possibilities with this style really are endless. This cut will allow flexibility with styling options dependent on the occasion. It has the potential to be worn slammed down and tight with a high hold & shine product like Deluxe Pomade, worn high and textured using Featherweight or left natural like in this example.

Uppercut Deluxe Natural Pomp

Styling Powder is a specially designed men’s hair product designed to add volume, texture, and hold, all while maintaining a natural finish.

This makes it the perfect product for natural looking men’s hairstyles. Styling Powder will emphasize the natural flow and movement of the hair, without dominating it like a traditional styling product.

HOW TO STYLE A NATURAL POMP:

Styling a Natural Pomp with Styling Powder is as simple as Shake & Rake.

Truth be told, the trick to nailing this style lies in drying your hair properly.

Before styling your hair, we always recommend a full wash cycle using Uppercut Deluxe Shampoo and Conditioner. Freshly washed hair is far easier to style!

Styling Powder works best when applied to bone dry hair. For this style, we recommend using a hairdryer.  Once washed, give your hair a thorough towel dry.

Next, set your dryer to medium heat and begin gently drying your hair. When dried, begin to direct your fringe backwards at a 45-degree angle. The heat from the hairdryer will set the foundation of your style.

After that, evenly dust the Styling Powder across your hair, ensuring total coverage.

To finish, use your fingers to rake the product through your hair.

It really is that simple!
