Below, Tom has created five fabulous styles for you to wear proudly this spring.
Side-Parted Pompadour
The pompadour is a classic barbershop cut that’s known for its versatility: it can add professionalism to your office antics, while also presenting a delightful suave to your evenings out.
Ask your barber for:
• A tapered cut with plenty of length of top to create the classic pomp look.
How to style at home:
• Apply The Bluebeards Revenge Matt Paste to wet hair as a pre-styling agent.
• Blow-dry your hair and use The Bluebeards Revenge Quiff Roller to mould your new style into shape making sure to create a side-parting.
• Finish by applying a small amount of The Bluebeards Revenge Pomade and comb through for the desired effect.
Scissor-Cut Contour:
With tapered cuts and fades being all the rage, a top-quality scissor-only cut will always stand out from the crowd, especially when it boasts this much texture.
Ask your barber to:
• Put the clippers down and use scissors to create a textured look that’s longer on top and shorter on the back and sides.
At home:
• Apply a sea salt spray to wet hair as a pre-styling agent.
• Blow-dry your hair and use The Bluebeards Revenge Quiff Roller to create volume and texture on top.
• Finish by scrunching The Bluebeards Revenge Matt Paste into your hair for a look that will last all day.
Tapered Crop:
The tapered crop is a style that’s easy to maintain on a daily basis, yet has enough texture and personality to leave you feeling on top of the world.
Ask your barber for:
• A tapered back and sides that blends into a choppy, textured top.
At home:
• Apply a sea salt spray to wet hair and rough dry with a towel to create a natural look with added texture.
• Finish by evenly distributing The Bluebeards Revenge Matt Clay from the root up.
Disconnected Slick-Back with Burst Fade:
This cut sounds a little complicated, but in reality it’s a modern adaptation of the classic slick-back that provides a professional, classy style.
Ask your barber for:
• A grade two on the back and sides that fades away to the nape; leave plenty of length on top so that it can be slicked-back to the crown.
At home:
• Apply a sea salt spray to wet hair as a pre-styling agent.
• Blow-dry the hair straight back towards the crown of the head using The Bluebeards Revenge Quiff Roller.
• Finish by running your fingers through your hair with The Bluebeards Revenge Matt Paste for added hold.
Caesar Crop with Surgical Line:
The Caesar crop is a classic cut that’s been modelled by many celebrities throughout the years. This adaptation incorporates a surgical line for a more millennial finish.
Ask your barber for:
• A drop-fade on the back and sides with a scissor-cut top and a fringe.
At home:
• Apply The Bluebeards Revenge Matt Paste to wet hair and blow-dry it forward towards the fringe using The Bluebeards Revenge Military Brush.
• Rub a small amount of The Bluebeards Revenge Matt Clay between your palms and fingers and scrunch into the tips of the fringe.
