Get your hair partially wet. Apply product to your hair after dampening it. Guide your hair backwards to the crown while drying it on low heat. Comb your sides backwards while drying them. Run product through the top of your hair to set it in place.
You need to get your hair wet before you can style a pompadour. Take a shower and blot your hair with a towel to get rid of the excess water. You can also choose to run your hands under some water and run your fingers through your hair. Squeeze a quarter-sized dollop of product into your palm. Then, gently rub the product over your hands and spread it evenly through your hair from root to end. This is kind of an old-school look that has become quite popular over the past 5-10 years. It’s a great way to make short hair look bigger than it actually is, although it will be hard to pull off if the front of your hair is tapered to be shorter than the top of your head. Plug a hair dryer in and set it to low heat. Run your fingers through your hair and push the front of your hair upwards then back while drying it from the front. Focus on giving the hair height during this step. Once the roots of your locks dry vertically, you can ease the ends of the hair toward the back of your head. Once you’ve got the top of your hair lifted and pulled to the back, grab a comb or stiff brush. Use the comb or brush to comb your sides backwards. While you’re combing, dry your sides with the hair dryer set on low heat. Once your hair dries, scoop up a small amount of styling product in your hand. Rub your hands together to spread it out and then run your fingers lightly through the top of your hair. Adjust the shape of the top of your pompadour to modify your look and set your hair in place.  Don’t change the overall direction of your hair after you’ve dried it. You won’t be able to add parts or set sections to the side after the hair has dried. Add details or change small elements with a comb if you’d like.
