Rock Hudson classic haircut
This vintage hairstyle is best worn by someone with thick hair. It must be cut so that it is longer in front than in back. The sides are slicked back using pomade to hold them in place. The front of the hair is combed straight up. It is then flipped to the center or back of the head so that it creates a puff over the brow. This puff was tame when worn by Hudson, but it can be worn quite dramatically if one so desires.
