The Modern Quiff
Classic Modern Men's Style.
Like its close cousin, the pompadour, the quiff hairstyle has a heritage steeped in French aristocracy and the ‘50s rock and 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.
How it Began
The History
The go-to cut for all-American bad boys, this ‘50s style actually got its start among the French aristocracy in the 1800s. Flash forward a century or so and it’s still a look that’s favored by rebels and rockers.
Neat quiffs need to be combed into position. Messy quiffs can be shorter and more rugged.
