Ducktail hairstyles are popular among greasers and rockabilly men. This look goes perfectly with carefully styled pompadours, usually finished off using pomade or hair gel with high wax content for smooth styling. This style is also known by names such as duck tail, half duck, and ducktail spoiler. This hairstyle dates back to the 1950s.
Jellyroll
Jelly Roll or Duck Tail Hairstyles were fashionable among young men during the 1950s and required much hair oil and grease to achieve the right shape. Wearers of such styles were known as Grinder. Country music star Jelly Roll recently shocked fans by cutting off his infamous mullet. He documented this process in a short video. Beginning his research process for the new cut, he first sought the opinion of his wife, Bunnie Xo – and she enthusiastically approved. Additionally, fans shared their feedback via Instagram, with many applauding this change in look.
Chevron
Chevron mustaches are an eye-catching fashion statement that requires dedication. Patience is needed as it takes months for facial hair to grow thick enough to shape into this style! This style features an angled mustache that points downward toward the corners of your mouth, making it less prominent than horseshoe or walrus mustaches but still standing out in a crowd. Celebrities such as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and actor Tom Selleck often wear this style. Pairing it with either a goatee or stubble can create a stylish, distinguished appearance.
Extreme Style
Hedda Lettuce or Miley Cyrus might easily pull off this extreme hairstyle, featuring large rolls on the sides and crown as well as long straight strands that vary in thickness around their head. It gives off an air of modern Geisha gone wild, ideal for Halloween parties. This style requires lots of backcombing and volumizing hairpieces to achieve its voluminous effect and lots of gel for hold.
Textured Quiff
A textured quiff boasts a more casual and modern aesthetic. Perfect for those with wavy locks and those who wish to emphasize their face shape through dramatic style choices. Ask your barber for a low to medium fade on the back and sides, leaving some length on top to create a textured quiff. A matte clay product can help add definition and depth to this style. The quiff hairstyle is an ever-versatile classic haircut, suitable for nearly every face shape, hair type, and aesthetic. Whether it takes rockabilly, pompadour, or modern textured variants, its timeless appeal will give you an attractive and sophisticated appearance.
Symmetrical
As a pixie cut with short sides and long bangs, this style can suit almost every face shape. The eye-catching texture and different lengths of strands make this style very striking; add blue color for an eye-catching rockabilly style! Asymmetrical styles are an effective way to add drama and balance with length contrasts and create an effortless blend through layers. Asymmetry works well on short pixie cuts, bobs, lobs, and even long hair; you could try side-shaved or shorter fringes on one side for maximum effect!
Backcomb
Backcombing is an indispensable hair styling technique used to achieve full and volumized locks. Although once associated with exaggerated 80s beehive styles, backcombing has since been refined into an everyday-appropriate look for all ages. Step one in backcombing involves ensuring that your hair is straight and tangle-free; this step is especially crucial as tangled locks have a greater chance of breaking or being damaged during the backcombing process. Once your hair is prepared for backcombing, begin by taking a small section and combing it towards its root. Make sure to tease this section from underneath to conceal any signs of backcombing from being visible.
