I’m often asked how I have my hair cut for my quiff, comb over, pompadour and celebrity hairstyles. 

So, here it is…


 

Back and sides

I ask for a clippered 0, graduated into a clippered 1 just above.

I leave the top disconnected (no blend) from the back and sides

 

Top

The top is left long and thick.

The back is slightly shorter than the front. This helps to create a gradual slope and makes the front look even bigger (perfect for a quiff).

I don’t like thinning scissors to be used on my hair. I like it to look thick and healthy. If, however, your hair is heavy and unmanageable, use them!

 

Top tip

We all have different hair types. Experiment with style, length, texture and cut to see what suits you and what you like. There’s no right or wrong answer. Enjoy your hair and have fun.
