Bruno Mars Hair: Voluminous Pompadour Hairstyle
Bruno Mars turned heads at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards (2012) with his signature voluminous pompadour hairstyle. This sleek yet bold look is a modern take on the classic pompadour, adding height, structure, and vintage-inspired charm. Perfectly styled with a high-shine finish, this hairstyle is ideal for men who want to make a statement while maintaining a polished, professional appearance.
Why We Love It:
- The dramatic height and volume make it a standout, giving off a cool retro-meets-modern vibe.
- Works particularly well for thicker hair types, providing natural lift and structure.
- A great option for those who love a vintage, rock ‘n’ roll-inspired aesthetic while keeping it refined.
- Pairs effortlessly with formal and casual looks, making it versatile for various occasions.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Leave at least 4-6 inches on top for volume and styling flexibility.
- Ask for tapered sides or a scissor-cut fade to maintain balance with the voluminous top.
- Request soft layering on top to create movement and avoid a blocky shape.
- If you prefer a sharper contrast, go for a mid or high fade on the sides.
Get The Look
- Apply a volumising mousse or thickening spray to damp hair.
- Use a hairdryer and a round brush to blow-dry the hair upwards and back for maximum lift.
- Work a strong-hold pomade or styling clay through the hair, ensuring control and shine.
- Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to shape the pompadour, keeping the volume structured.
- Finish with a light mist of strong-hold hairspray to keep everything in place.
