Rockabilly Hairdos

Rockabilly Hairdos Bold with Brylcreem

The exaggeration of the “pomp” or pompadour hairstyle began with rockabilly Hairdos. In the 1950’s, when Elvis was “the King”, his crown was the envy of those with rockabilly Hairdos. This style was worn by a number of celebrities during the era, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, and many more. Rockabilly hairdos were held in place with large amounts of pomade wax. Brylcreem, Black & White Pluke, Murrays and Layrite were all popular styles of wax in the 1950’s, and many of those brands are still around today, for those who carry on the tradition of rockabilly Hairdos. However, both Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash were rumored to have used Genuine B&W Pomade on their pompadour hair to keep the stiff, shiny coif in control.

Rockabilly Hairdos didn’t end with the heyday of the musical genre. The style of music, dress, and hair was revived in the 1980’s by the mainstream band, The Stray Cats. These artists single-handedly resurrected not only the music but also the rockabilly Hairdos that were so popular in the 1950’s. There are also modern rockabilly bands sporting the ‘do, like The Meteors. Besides those following the musical trend, there are other icons who have worn the rockabilly Hairdos, as well as the clothing, in their own way. Andrew Dice Clay, a ground breaking stand up comedian, has sported rockabilly jackets, rockabilly shirts, and rockabilly hairdos throughout his career. Check out the movie The Adventures of Ford Fairlane for a good example of this style. Overall, rockabilly hairdos have withstood the test of time, and many Elvis admirers have imitated the style for decades. Look around, and you’ll see the evidence of the lasting influence of the icons in the past.
