Pompadour hairstyles were popularized during the 50s, but modern fashionistas have updated this poufy phenomenon in a number of avant-garde ways. There's the pouf that Snooki of 'Jersey Shore' has made infamous, of course, but there's also the shaved pompadour mohawk Rihanna rocked last fall.
For less attention-grabbing gals, there are chic braided versions of greaser hair and subtle quiffs with a splash of color in the slideshow above. Get your fix of pompadour hairstyles here!
