For a polished look, choosing the right product and knowing how to use it are essential. We asked Steve Purcell, founder of Uppercut Deluxe, to style this cut, and from that, the Slammed Down Side Part was born.
This iconic look has been sported by celebrities from Sean Connery as James Bond to Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street, appearing on our screens since the 1960s. If you have medium length, thick hair and aren’t yet familiar with this style, now is the time to explore it.
How to style: Slammed Down Side Part
To achieve the perfect Slammed Down Side Part, follow these steps.
Start with damp hair. Take a generous scoop of Deluxe Pomade, rub it between your hands, and work it through your hair, ensuring you coat every strand from roots to ends.
Define your part. Use your CB11 Rake Comb to create a clear, contoured part line. This adds dimension and draws the eye across the hair.
Comb it down. Gently comb outward from the part while pressing the hair down to eliminate any loose strands.
Create some height. With the CB11 Rake Comb, work the front of your hair backward to create a slight wave. The ideal Slammed Down Side Part features more height at the front than at the back.
What is Deluxe Pomade?
Deluxe Pomade is the most popular product in our range for a reason. We can understand that the Slammed Down Side Part is not for everyone, but don’t let this fool you. This pomade’s versatility stretches beyond just a tight slam back or side part. Whether your hair is long or short, thick or thin, curly or straight, this pomade delivers. Simply apply to damp or dry hair and build up layers depending on what you’re trying to achieve.
