Emerson Salon – Capitol Hill Seattle

Adam Lambert has been making waves with his newest single If I Had You, moving up the charts and generating a lot of buzz. We love the song because of Adam’s great style and use of costumes. Check out the video below and find out how to get Adam Lambert’s unique hair style.

He has a great haircut that is a mixture of a pompadour, a mohawk, and a fade, which suits his hair texture and thickness. He has lots of radical texture cut into his hair to make it more manageable and interesting. His haircut has to be perfect because it is photographed so often.

To achieve the style for his new video, his hair is combed upward into a pompadour with lots of product to keep it in place. To get this look, a firm gel such as Alterna’s Hard Hold Gel blow-dryed into the hair keeps it in place, and the style is then back-combed, then set with a firm hold hair spray. He has cutout thick lines shaved into one side of his head-another remnant of the 80′s but modernized to appear current. Removable extensions were pinned into his hairdo in back to complete the look for some of the video shots. This look is totally achievable for your night on the town with a bit of work from your stylist.
