1910s Simple Pompadour

In this coiffure one part
is made across the top or crown of head extending from back of the ear to
the other ear, separating the hair into a front and back section.

The front hair is combed
out as shown above, and is curled or waved and gathered up on top of the
head, slightly to the back, and pinned into place.

A transformation may be
used or a roll placed under hair, if thin, to keep it in shape and to raise
it sufficiently for the desired effect.

The back hair is then
braided into one braid and gathered into a cluster knot and pinned into
place at the back of the head or simply gathered at the top of the head,
being collected in roll fashion and pinned into place, using a back comb to
fix the front and back sections.

A roll or switch may be
added to give form to the back section. The hair is then lightly combed out
to cover the side partings. All the free ends of the back hair must be
tucked away as they give a disorderly look not only to the simplest but to
the most stylish and complicated coiffures.

One variation of the finished style is shown above.
