Females may also have a similar style coupled with a ponytail but pins and grips are used in place of grease.
A sexy men's hairstyle worn by many vintage life-stylists who nod toward the nifty 50s. Nickname of pompadour, which is short on the sides and back, long on top, greased back, height on top, worn with well trimmed side-burns
