Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, official mistress of France's King Louis the 15th, started the high, upswept hair style, and so it was named in her honor. Her title was the Marquise de Pompadour.
The Pompadour.

Jeanne, Marquise ( feminine of Marquis) du Pompadour was a French noblewoman who became insinuated in politics of the time and was a virtual mistress of King Louis XV. She is nearly aways called Madame Du Pompadour, or Pompadour and rarely by her first name, surely no Saint! The attractive ( and she looked very mature in a sort of Catherine II style) Madame was active in French politics and intrigues up to her death in l765. I do not know how she died. It was natural causes, but that is all I know. Pompadour is, of course a hair style, which was effected by among others Amelia Earhart and the actress Georgia Southen, both Redheads.
A pompadour is a hairstyle commonly worn by greasers in the '50s. The sides are combed back and the top is combed back and up. Usually styled with hair grease, and many coupled a pompadour with a "duck tail or duck butt" which is when the hair in the back has a middle part done by the end of a comb.
The Pompadour, particularily the Double Dip pompadour was effected by women in the public eye in the thirties onward. the Aviatrix Amelia Earhart and the Burlesque actress Georgia Southern both Affected a Red, double-dip pompadour. the name derives from the French mistress of the King Louis XV. Some men wore a modified Pompadour such as Little Richard, but it never caught on. Sideburns date to Civil War general Ambrose Burnside- the name was inverted. Elvis had elongated sideburns styled almost like a Map of New Jersey , where he never lived!(obtuse angle below) so it goes. Red hair and blue eyes go over good with a Pompadour.
I don't know about the hair thing. However I do know that Pompadour is a character in the children's tv series "Babar". He is an elephant and he is the king's royal advisor. The tv series is really good I might add. Watch it!:):):)
