Begin with clean but slightly damp hair. Use a product, such as a pomade or wax, and work it through your hair from the roots to ends, starting at the back. Use a small amount at first, adding more if you need it. Next, use a comb to brush your hair into the direction and shape you want. If you’re going for a style like a pompadour or a quiff, add a step and use a blowdryer to add volume before combing into place. Smooth down any stray hairs on your sides, and finish with a coat of hairspray if required.
