Pompadour is the new hairstyle
There is something on the head of urban youth that is attracting some attention. The hairstyle.
Called the Pompadour, the hairstyle has become the trend among youth and also among some young adults. The hair is clipped close or deep cut on the sides and kept long on top. Stylists say this style is highly recommended for boys or when it comes to haircuts for man that adds length to such face shapes as round and square.
It is winter; all the students are on vacation. They are free to play with their hair, as more and more boys have decided to make a statement and cut their hair according to their styles.
Hairstyles are introduced to the common people through the fashion industry and people follow what they think is funky and happening. Hairstyle is a way of portraying taste and personality.
Recently, Bhutanese youth have a breathtaking attraction in them. A barber at town, Lhapa said, “The boys are always trying to cut their hair like the Korean singers.” He added that most of the boys want to cut their hair like their fans, for instance footballers, Korean actors and actress. “Pompadour, is new fashion so many boys rush here to get the style,” he said.
What is surprising these days is that the Korean hairstyles are now becoming a fashion. “They are cute and attractive and boys love styling up their hair in Korean style,” said a barber.
“Marco Reus, who is famous for this hairstyle,” said Tenzin, a student. Marco Reus plays as a striker, attacking midfielder and winger for the German national team along with the club named as Borussia Dortmund. “Matching his speed and changeability is his hairstyle that has an undercut and is parted sideward,” he said.
A graduate, Dorji said. “The directors, teachers and lecturers are always complaining about the boy’s hair styles.” “Only in 18th and 19th century teachers will always inquiry about those styles. We are no more Gelongs and Nuns but i don’t mean that we should keep our hairs like those Gomchen,” he said.
But some of the elders disagree. A teacher, Sonam Pem said, “It (the hair style) really looks disgusting with our Bhutanese attire.” She added that these kinds of hairstyles are copied from other countries style and culture. “We have our own decent Bhutanese rich culture and tradition, shame on such sons, daughters and to parents who are letting them to keep their hair like that,” she said.
This paper talked to 10 parents and all of them have negative feelings about this new hairstyle. Ap Ugyen said, “I am one of those people responsible to maintain such etiquette.” He added that he have observed those boys who copy the recent trends of hairstyles are the ones who are very naughty, into drugs and alcohol.
Like Ap Ugyen, there are many others who are concerned about the way their son and daughter maintain their hair. “I think they should bother more about their studies and not about hairstyles,” said Aum Pemo, a mother of three. “Being a Bhutanese, we should act as Bhutanese citizen,” she said.
Aum Dema has a logical reason. “What I they go to a job interview with a pony tail or a bunch of hair tied on the top with nothing on the side,” she said. “In Bhutan, hairstyles do matter. Shorter the better.”
A corporate employee said that when he got a Pompadour, his mother came after him with a pair of scissors. “I think you came home before the barber was done,” said his mother to him
