1) Dye
If ya wanna look like the genuine Elvis Presley, ya gotta start with straight to slightly wavy locks. Ya see, his jet-black hair color was actually dyed ’cause he naturally had blonde hair. The King used blue-black hair color, but anything on the dark side will do the trick. Ya can either get the color done in a fancy salon, or ya can pick up a box of hair dye at most drugstores. If ya go to a salon, make sure to bring a picture of Elvis that looks most like what ya wanna look like. That way, the stylist can also cut yer hair in his style. (*If ya ain’t got any hair, ya might have to resort to a wig. Any store sellin’ clown wigs will also have Elvis wigs. Just search for “clown wigs” or “Elvis wigs” and ya’ll be golden.)
2) Pomade
Once ya got the cut and color sorted, ya gotta get yer hands on some styling products. You can use gel or pomade. When yer hair is clean and slightly damp, take a good dollop of gel and start slickin’ back yer hair, startin’ with the sides and workin’ yer way to the top. Ya wanna put the gel only on the top layer of yer hair, unless ya got thick hair. To create a pompadour, ya gotta have a bit of volume on top. An easy trick is to comb yer hair straight up and then let it fall back, and don’t use too much gel. If yer using pomade, just use a small amount and warm it up in yer hands before applyin’. It works much better that way and gives ya a more polished look.
3) Comb
Now that ya got the product in yer hair, take a comb and slick back the sides straight, followin’ the angle of yer hair growth towards the back of yer head. Then, comb the top or front section straight up and loosely back to create Elvis’ signature pompadour. Ya might have to do this a few times to get it lookin’ just right. If ya feel like ya losin’ volume, flip yer head upside-down, comb all yer hair towards the floor, then stand up straight and start over.
4) Shake it Loose
The only thing missin’ now from yer hairstyle is that small piece of hair that would often fall out of the perfect pompadour, addin’ to the charm of the dashing young man. While yer hair is still wet and ya just combed it, flick the comb through a small section of hair right in front and it should fall out of the aerodynamic sculptured ‘do, addin’ that perfect touch of humanity and accessibility.
5) Facial Hair
To give that final touch to yer Elvis hair, ya gotta shave and trim yer sideburns. While Elvis’ sideburns grew longer as his career progressed, they were still always well-groomed. Once ya shave and shape ’em to yer desired length, grab a good pair of clippers and trim the hair down to look presentable. By followin’ these five steps, ya’ll be pretty darn close to rockin’ Elvis’ hair.
