You can tell a Rockabilly guy a mile away just by looking at his hair!
Men wear well-greased pompadours, also called quiffs - think Joaquin Phoenix in "Walk the Line" for a modernized version. Elvis Presley and James Dean are also good hair models.
But how on earth do they get their hair like that you ask!
To achieve Elvis-worthy pompadour status, hair should be cut long on top and at the front, with shorter sides and back.
To style, slick hair back with grease. It's all about the pomade - without it a true Rockabilly quiff is nothing!
Oh and don't forget the back pocket comb! Just in case!
This kid sure has one hell of a pomp and shows you exactly how it's done:
Wow that guy makes it look so easy!
