I really miss your videos brother! Your comedic timing, editing, and unforgettable personality is second to none. I'm sure your main job and personal life have got ya busy, but if ya can make more videos whether it be reviews or more how to videos, that would be spectacular! Cheers brother!
Thanks man! I appreciate that. There will be more videos. I'm working on a couple of ideas in my head and as soon as they're solid and I have some time I will make one. I don't think I will make more than four a year I think. I'm feeling the pressure already haha!
You did the swirl pretty good but you need longer hair on the sides for slicking back in a semi circular motion, mainly for covering the swirl from the middle portion of the left side part. It should look like the pomp is gradually going higher from the rear cowlick towards the front. Otherwise your head will look weird from the side(experience) Like you said, head shape also matters, one should have wide forehead, or make it look wider. In my case, I thought my forehead looked small, then I realised that I had some hair grown on the corners of my forehead which ruined the side profile, shaped it, and now it looks way better. (I realised that my hair is almost same to that of Elvis, the part where that natural swirl comes in the front, my hair is wavy but not so thick) Thanks for the Video mate 🤠
Thanks a lot man! It's so nice that these old videos are still being watched. I'm planning to make one again. I'm just very slow and work a lot. One day... haha
this is whattt i’m finded before, barber cannot underatand what we want while cutting. We want a long classic pompadour , but now the answer is.. combing style 😆
To do the Elvis Swirl, I've been using Lockhart's goon grease and it won't allow my hair to swirl, it's too stiff. Can you recommend a pomade or hair product that's best for the Elvis swirl?
+Zeus113 I would say 6 months. and you can go. I have the luxury that I don't have to tell him much. He knows what I want. I usually keep the top the same length and he thins it out some. Further more I ask him to tidy up the back and keep the sides just long enough to slick back. 95% is done with shears so I don't have any clipper guide numbers for you.
+Klaas Reinders Hoi Klaas. Tja dat is een beetje moeilijk te beantwoorden. Ligt een beetje aan wat voor stijl je wilt, wat voor haartype je hebt en wat je eisen zijn aan een pomade. Als op facebook zit, meld je dan even aan bij de Dutch Pomade Collective. Daar zitten een hoop mensen die je een eind op weg kunnen helpen.
Hoi Tom, Gave video. Eindelijk weer een video die me wat inspiratie geeft. Ik vroeg me eigenlijk af wat de beste lengte is voor zo'n typische Elvis kuif en een ducktail. Mijn haar komt nu tot over mijn mond en is boven op en aan de zijkanten ook heel erg lang. Is dit te lang? Het lijkt wel goed te werken maar toch nog afentoe wat probleempjes. Mijn haar is heel dik en er zit veel slag in. Wat is de beste pomade die ik kan gebruiken? Ik heb al gelezen dat de wat lichtere spullen (die ze vroeger gebruikten) wat beter werken. Wat zijn jou tips?
Luis Montanez Cocktail hair. I had the dirtiest hair ever. Didn't wash anything out in 10 days. If I can remember correctly it was a mixture of American Greaser Supply Super 90wt, Sweet Georgia Brown Blue, Murray's Black Beeswax and Dax Neat Waves. But you can do it with any pomade that will give you some hold.
good video I mean but elvis didn't make this hair style.. RUclips (Elvis IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY)FIRST VIDEO ABOVE... I mean he do sing have blues rite? my point exaclty.. black & white pomp..
Hi Marquel. Thanks for your input. With "Elvis hairstyle" I (and a lot other people) mean the way Elvis combed up his pompadour. It does not mean that he was the inventor of the pompadour. Because he had a cowlick along his front hairline, it swirled up in a specific way which made his pomp unique. That is what I tried to mimic with the comb.
That depends on what you are putting in. You can always use something water based. With the more traditional greases you just build up and wash it every 10-14 days.
+Beuk Int There is nothing much to find there but 95% dutch blabbering. I post my pomp pics on instagram: tommydg_amsterdam and in the facebook group: everything pomade
Elvis never made the pomp look us blacks did... he grew up in a black area he had ways that we had being around African American he took are style and went to his crowd to show them something new called swagger shit they never seen before that's why everyone where's it thinking it's elvis.. more like JACKIE WILSON HIS POMP is like the moonwalk only he knows how to shine it like glass..

what the hell that elvis swirl was amazing. I'm so glad I watched this video or I would have never learned about it!
Frankie Freshness Well I'm glad some good came out of it. thanks for watching!
That is such an awesome quote you show at the beginning of the video. I love Woody Allen and your videos.
This is amazing. Very informative and yet amusing. Keep the vids coming
Phil Coady Thanks a lot.
These is one high quality video. Really impressive.
Povilas Račkauskas Thanks so much!

Po Made Thanks very much! I appreciate you watching it.

Awesome!
Tommy Citra I have some ideas left. All in good time.
How To Style A Pompadour - The Master Course can't wait! :D
"Pompking, that's a good name for a pomade" hahahaha
thats allready a brand.. lmfao
Kevin! Never saw that reaction. I'm so ashamed!
Indeed it is
😡
Looove the videos man. I love your sense of humor, and how you aren't afraid to give shout outs to other reviewers.
What video editor do you use?
+xHibachi24x Thanks! I'm glad people are watching them haha. I use Adobe Premiere for editing. The visuals were added in After Effects.
You did the swirl pretty good but you need longer hair on the sides for slicking back in a semi circular motion, mainly for covering the swirl from the middle portion of the left side part.

Thanks for the Video mate 🤠
Yes you are probably right. I'm not emulating Elvis hair here. Just my own. You should show us your hair! (sorry for the delayed response)
Please make more video..love your hair!! Love your style.. tom cruise twin maybe..
Thanks a lot man! It's so nice that these old videos are still being watched. I'm planning to make one again. I'm just very slow and work a lot. One day... haha
this is whattt i’m finded before, barber cannot underatand what we want while cutting. We want a long classic pompadour , but now the answer is.. combing style 😆
Most of them are used to the modern styles
awesome vid sir...now this may be a dumb question, but in your opinion is three flowers brilliantine or royal crown hairdressing shinier? thx you
+Robert Meyers There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers so here it comes: I've never used them haha ;)
Royal Crown = Maximum Shine. Tres Flores Brilliantine just makes your hair oily.
Haha thanks so much man. You're too funny too!
Mikey Barrios I'm glad you liked it! I can barely watch it myself.
Awesome Video , Thanks !
Isidro Chavez Thanks for watching
To do the Elvis Swirl, I've been using Lockhart's goon grease and it won't allow my hair to swirl, it's too stiff. Can you recommend a pomade or hair product that's best for the Elvis swirl?
No I'm sorry. Pomades just works different with each person. Maybe you should try a medium?
Bro you are the best
How long did it take you to get the top that long? And what do you normally tell your barber when you get a haircut?
+Zeus113 I would say 6 months. and you can go. I have the luxury that I don't have to tell him much. He knows what I want. I usually keep the top the same length and he thins it out some.

Truth be told, no one will ever be able to match The King's pompadour, he took that secret to the grave.
That ending lol
steveroni Most of the footage I shot actually looks like that haha. Talking in front of a camera is hard if it's not natural to you.
:D leuk Tom :D Thanks!
Lampuhkap's Shaving Channel Volgende wordt misschien wel een nl-talige ;)
Ah, dat zou leuk zijn! :D Ik stem voor! :D
nice video
+Caine Byrom Thanks!
Welke Pomade kan ik het beste gebruiken??
+Klaas Reinders Hoi Klaas. Tja dat is een beetje moeilijk te beantwoorden. Ligt een beetje aan wat voor stijl je wilt, wat voor haartype je hebt en wat je eisen zijn aan een pomade.

Does this work for wavy and thick hair?
Juan Rivera Well it works for my hair, which is thick and straight. But by all means try it out and tell me all about it.
How To Style A Pompadour - The Master Course It didn't work my hair kept splitting my waves keep bugging me
Juan Rivera Ah that's annoying. What pomade did you use?
How To Style A Pompadour - The Master Course murrays superior
Juan Rivera Well it's difficult to say. Sometimes a waxy pomade works good on wavy hair.
Hoi Tom,

Thanks Real Pomp
+How To Style A Pompadour - The Master Course pomp king the name was changed and when u doing another vid
I know but I thought the other name was more funny. I will be doing another video as soon as I feel inspired. Thanks!
+How To Style A Pompadour - The Master Course o OK cool!
The intro is from Dramaalert 😂
Haha probably the same motion artist
Is your name really Tom Le Grand?
+Pierre No. It is a direct translation of my real name

Your video looks wayy too much like a news report lol
+Jordan Chen Haha. It does? hmm...
isn't it REALLY hard to get all that out of your hair at night?
That depends on what you are putting in. You can always use something water based. With the more traditional greases you just build up and wash it every 10-14 days.
Can I have your Facebook sir?
+Beuk Int There is nothing much to find there but 95% dutch blabbering. I post my pomp pics on instagram: tommydg_amsterdam and in the facebook group: everything pomade
Nada a ver com o topete de Elvis Presley
That's right!

You're right since he wasn't black, genius. Hopefully his grammar was worse than yours or you'd really have a reason to complain.
