Hair: men’s cuts inspired by Elvis

Just say Elvis to materialize rivers of glitter in the mind, generous strokes of wax together with tufts and extra shiny lengths. That is, the beauty highlight par excellence of the mythical character of the fifties, who since June 22 we will see again on the big screen, in the biopic Elvis, Warner Bros. and directed by Baz Luhrmann.

After the success of the last Cannes Film Festival, the film, which stars the actor Austin Butler in the role of Presley, he says he is ready to catapult the audience into an atmosphere that condenses everything: music, colors, joy, myths. And of course a lot brilliantine. For the occasion, in fact, Bullfrog wanted to pay homage to the famous character by reinterpreting three of his most iconic looks in a contemporary way. From the cut Pompadour toExecutive Contour passing through the famous Tirabaci. Three variations that combine imagination and modernity. To feel a little like Elvis, even in everyday life.

Pompadour

Typically fifties, the men’s cut to the Pompadour it is the one that is most easily associated with the image of Elvis, the most representative of the peak of his career. It features rather long hair at the top of the head, with straight or shorter sides. The hair is made very voluminous at the front of the hairline as it flows backwards. In the cut made by Bullfrog the shape is made more modern thanks to the nuance on the neck and the very defined contours. Sideburns are sharply cut and pointed.

Executive Contour

The characteristic of the Executive Contour, similar in length to the Pompadour, is the direction of the hair, which instead of being carried backwards is moved to one side, showing a clear lateral line. It’s the “good American boy” cutthe one that Elvis will show off during and after his famous military service in Germany in 1958. Again, Bullfrog’s reinterpretation focuses on modern details such as the nuance on the neck and the pointed sideburns.
