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.

What is a quive?
You probably mean a quiff, which is a hairstyle. Well, actually, it is a combo of two and sometimes three hairstyles. It puts together the pompadour and flattop of the 1950s, and sometimes mixes it with a mohawk. The front is long and highly styled, but the sides are shorter and slicked back.

Why are sideburns called sideburns?
they call them sideburns becauseSideburnsGeneral Ambrose Everett Burnside from the Union Army wore side whiskers with a moustache, while shaving the hair on his chin. This style was known as Burnside's. The word then became burnsides, and then sideburns. Ambrose Burnside, a Union General during the civil war, sported a ustache and interesting sidebar whiskers (hair grown down in front of the ears). This style of hair was so distinctive that his name became attached to these whiskers. But there was a catch! The two syllables of his last name were reversed, and sideburn (not Burnside) became the name of these whiskers. Elvis Presley, the 1950s-1970s rock and roll legend, wore sideburns. Before long, many men were growing sideburns to look like Elvis. Too bad that even with (or without) sideburns, they could not perform as well as Elvis.
Is The First 1959 Barbie doll hairstyle based from The Character Gidget hairstyle from the 1959 Movie Gidget?
I doubt it. Ruth Handler got the inspiration for Barbie from the Bild Lilli doll in Germany, and Lilli had been sold since the mid-1950s, several years before the movie Gidget was released.
