1910s Divided Pompadour If the divided pompadour style is desired, the hair is divided either at the centre of the forehead as shown above... or to one side, the two sides being waved more fully and gathered as in the plain style. A transformation… What we would call hair pieces now. or parted pompadour may be used with advantage. The back hair may be simply gathered in a roll or be waved and pinned loosely to the back of the head in a cluster fashion... or braided and gathered into a knot and pinned into place. A back comb adds to the effect and helps to hold the whole coiffure. If desired, a cluster of puffs may be pinned over the rolled-up back hair with very pleasing effect, as shown above.
