Pompadour

The Pompadour is a hair style named after the Marquise de Pompadour, who introduced it. Men wearing it brush their hair upward in front. Women wear the style as a roll raised over the forehead.

The Pompadour was a fashion trend in the 1950s among male rockabilly artists and actors in the 1950s like Marlon Brando (The Wild One) and James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause); in the late 20th century, rockabily revival musician Brian Setzer was known for wearing this style. There are also Latin variants of the hair style more associated with European and Argentine tango fashion trends and occasionally with late 20th century musical genres other than rockabilly.
