Like its close cousin, the pompadour, the quiff hairstyle has a heritage steeped in French aristocracy and the 50s rock 'n’ roll scene. To this day, it still stands out as the perfect blend of rugged and regal. It demands attention, whether you wear it tight and polished or as a mohawk.

This bold quiff is all about balance. It's a short-back-and-sides matched with a clean, sharp hairline. Contrasts are key: always keep your sides shorter than the top.

A modern quiff opens up options for extreme contrasts. If you dare, work with plenty of length on top and close cuts on the back and sides. 

However you style it, wear it with a sense of rebellion.
