The Quiff Hairstyle: What It Is & How To Style It
One of the most iconic haircuts to have ever graced men’s heads, the quiff has been big (and big news) since the 1950s, earning it a place in the follicular hall of fame alongside other icons of the barber’s chair including the French crop, buzz cut and short back and sides.
Splicing together elements of the pompadour, flat top and sometimes even the mohawk, unafraid to make its voluminous presence felt, the amped-up quiff suits a wide range of ages, face shapes and personal styles.
According to research, it’s also judged one of the sexiest by women. When quizzed by styling product company Fudge on which men’s haircuts they are most likely to swipe right to on dating apps, 28 per cent of the 2,000 females asked picked the quiff.
What is the Quiff?
The quiff hairstyle is one that you’ve certainly come across before. It’s easily distinguished by the short cut on the sides and back of the head, with longer locks on top. While this may apply to various hairstyles, what sets the quiff apart is how it’s styled.
The longer portion of hair on top of the head built up with volume, and then combed back for a sleek, yet textured look, while still concentrating the vertical volume towards the front of the head. You’ll find that the sharp contrast between different lengths of hair makes this a more edgy and trendy look that isn’t far off from the classic pompadour.
