Classic Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nSupremely popular in the \u201850s<\/a>, the classic quiff hinges on more balanced proportions. While you will still want longer dimensions on top of your head, you must\u00a0keep some length around the back and sides while also maintaining a clean, sharp hairline.\u00a0A high shine product will also give you the desired gloss that the classic quiff calls for. For reference, think Don Draper in Mad Men<\/i>.<\/p>\n![\"Classic](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Classic-Quiff.jpg\")

Modern Quiff\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nThe modern quiff requires more length at the top of your head,\u00a0with pompadour-esque<\/a> proportions. Keep in mind that contemporary interpretations also rely on a distinction between the hair on the\u00a0sides, at the back\u00a0of your head\u00a0and your hair on\u00a0top \u2013 you should aim for imbalanced proportions to accentuate the quiff\u2019s length toward the front of your head. The modern quiff can also be styled efficiently with more matte hair products. Glossier products will also work well, but a matte finish can update it for a more modern take. For inspiration, think Bruno Mars.<\/p>\n![\"Pompadour](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Pompadour-Quiff.jpg\")

Slick Back Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nThe slick back<\/a> quiff is a sexy and polished take on the hairstyle. It\u2019s usually combined with a side part<\/a>, which gives it a retro \u201860s<\/a> vibe. It is a great look for men who have naturally thick hair<\/a>. To get the slicked style, apply a generous amount of pomade with your hands. Then use a comb to position your hair, creating the parting and the quiff itself. Finally, use a hairdryer on low heat to quickly set the style, so it doesn\u2019t lose volume and stays in place all day.<\/p>\n\u00a0

Taper Fade Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nA chic, modern version of the quiff is to combine it with an on-trend taper fade<\/a>. The combination creates a cool contrast between the short hair on the sides and the longer hair on top. The style has the same cool, edgy feel as an undercut<\/a> quiff, but isn\u2019t as extreme. A taper fade quiff is still a clean-cut, professional look and will suit you if your style is more preppy.<\/a> You can put your spin on the cut by either razoring the parting, so it\u2019s more defined and striking, or by styling your quiff in different ways. A neat and tidy quiff is perfect for work, while the relaxed, tousled look is great for the weekend. The taper fade quiff is also a great hairstyle if you have thinner hair.<\/p>\n![\"Taper](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Taper-Fade-Quiff.jpg\")

Thick Hair Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nMake the most of your thick hair\u2019s<\/a> natural volume by embracing the quiff. To nail this look, keep the hair short on the sides. Then add plenty of height at the crown of your head. Make sure there\u2019s lots of movement and direction when you style your hair into the thick hair quiff. Subtle waves and lots of texture help break up the mass of hair and ensure you don\u2019t get the \u2018helmet\u2019 look. When done correctly, this style adds length to the face and will help balance out and flatter strong features, like a square jawline and high cheekbones.<\/p>\n![\"Thick](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Thick-HAir-Quiff.jpg\")

Comb Over Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nThe comb over<\/a> quiff is another retro-inspired take on the style, but with a modern update. It has a touch of Elvis Presley cool but doesn\u2019t feel old-fashioned. While the sides aren\u2019t as short as in a taper fade, there should still be a contrast with the longer hair on top. However, there\u2019s no defined parting \u2013 instead, the hair is blended to make it look thicker. A comb and pomade are essential to get this look. Build volume into the roots and work some product through the hair before using the comb to position it in a forward falling curl. It is an excellent choice for you if your hair is naturally wavy.<\/p>\n![\"Comb](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Comb-Over-Quiff.jpg\")
\n
Long Hair With Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nIt can be a little more tricky to create a quiff with longer locks<\/a> because your hair can be weighed down. As a result, a product with a stronger hold, like wax, is needed. Using it will keep the volume built up at the front. To make this style look balanced, try a side-swept quiff. The front section of your hair is then able to sit on top of your mid-lengths, which gives it more height and volume. To create the illusion of shorter sides, tuck your hair behind your ears. Doing so will draw more attention to the quiff, with the bonus of making your face stand out more too.

Zac Efron Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nThe extra-long, extra textured quiff was a trendy look in the mid-2000s, and Zac Efron was the Hollywood star who worked it best.

The pointy pieces form a subtle triangle at the front of the head, drawing the eye up to the tip and adding even more height. Unlike more subtle hairstyles, all the focus is on the quiff with this look, so make sure you style it to perfection.<\/p>\n\n
James Dean Quiff\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen it comes to iconic quiffs, James Dean leads the pack with his no-fuss interpretation of the hairstyle.

Elvis Presley Quiff\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nForget the music; Elvis Presley will always be remembered for his distinctive personal style \u2013 which predominantly centred on his well-thought-out and incredibly unique mane. Elvis\u2019 signature hairstyle sustained a well-balanced length; meaning that the sides and the back of his hair were longer and more proportionate to the longer front of his quiff. Men with wavy and curly hair<\/a> types will be able to adapt this version more efficiently \u2013 given volume is ideal for its styling.

Travolta\u2019s quiff also relied on a stronghold product which ensured that the whole head of hair was styled in the same direction and coated with a glossy shine.<\/p>\n

What is a Quiff?<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
Comb Over Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nThe comb over<\/a> quiff is another retro-inspired take on the style, but with a modern update. It has a touch of Elvis Presley cool but doesn\u2019t feel old-fashioned. While the sides aren\u2019t as short as in a taper fade, there should still be a contrast with the longer hair on top. However, there\u2019s no defined parting \u2013 instead, the hair is blended to make it look thicker. A comb and pomade are essential to get this look. Build volume into the roots and work some product through the hair before using the comb to position it in a forward falling curl. It is an excellent choice for you if your hair is naturally wavy.<\/p>\n\n
Long Hair With Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nIt can be a little more tricky to create a quiff with longer locks<\/a> because your hair can be weighed down. As a result, a product with a stronger hold, like wax, is needed. Using it will keep the volume built up at the front. To make this style look balanced, try a side-swept quiff. The front section of your hair is then able to sit on top of your mid-lengths, which gives it more height and volume. To create the illusion of shorter sides, tuck your hair behind your ears. Doing so will draw more attention to the quiff, with the bonus of making your face stand out more too.
\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/h2>\nShort Hair Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nA classic short hair<\/a> quiff is both easy to maintain and has a\u00a0Mad Men<\/em> vintage appeal. It is similar to the Ivy League cut<\/a>, with the same graduated length and side parting. However, your hair is a little longer on top, with some even longer pieces at the front which you can style however you like. One popular choice is a soft comb over<\/a> or side-swept quiff. The sides are still short, but because this is an old-school look, they won\u2019t be buzzed or faded by your barber. Just like the Ivy League, the short hair quiff is a youthful style with a polished feel.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\nDavid Beckham Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nDavid Beckham<\/a> is a great example of showing how a quiff can work for men of all ages. While it is not as extreme, it pivots on its shorter length and neatness. Beckham\u2019s quiff is also a lot easier to attain if your hair is naturally straighter. If a shorter interpretation is what you are after, ensure you are getting consistent haircuts to ensure everything looks sharp and neat. Style with a medium-hold hairspray to finish off the look.<\/p>\n\n
David Gandy Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nMuch like his personal style, British model David Gandy\u2019s quiff is classic with a modern edge. His hair possesses some length but is not overly long or distinguished from the top and sides. His styling is also not too precise \u2013 it relies on a bit of messiness to add a relaxed edge to the hairstyle. If your hair type is wavy, this version of the quiff is for you \u2013 the\u00a0styling will be a lot easier to perfect\u00a0for this versatile hair type.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nGeorge Clooney<\/span><\/h3>\nGeorge Clooney\u2019s style has been envied by men everywhere for decades, so it\u2019s no wonder he pulls off the quiff with his signature classy, dignified look. The actor proves silver hair<\/a> pairs perfectly with this cut because the contrast of black and grey creates the illusion of thicker locks. His style of quiff is also an excellent look for older men because it concentrates the volume at the front, which disguises any thinning while making the hairline seem more even and full. George also combines the quiff with a full yet neat beard, which is a great way to balance out facial features and draw attention to your eyes.<\/p>\n\n
Leonardo DiCaprio<\/span><\/h3>\nOne of Hollywood\u2019s most popular leading men, Leonardo DiCaprio has been wearing the quiff hairstyle for decades. It\u2019s no wonder he\u2019s a fan \u2013 the quiff is a flattering choice for his round face shape<\/a> and hairline. The extra volume of the quiff helps balance fuller cheeks and his face\u2019s width while bringing more attention to his eyes. At the same time, the longer front sections of his hair help soften his widow\u2019s peak<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
Chris Pine Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nLeading man Chris Pine has tried out many different hairstyles, from the buzz cut<\/a> to bangs<\/a> and a taper fade<\/a>. However, one of his best looks is the medium length quiff. It\u2019s an easy cut to maintain as there\u2019s no fading, shaving or tapering required. All it needs is semi-regular trims to ensure the hair doesn\u2019t get too long and out of control. A great look if you have naturally straight and thick hair<\/a>, the style only requires a small amount of wax or sea salt spray<\/a> to form the subtle quiff \u2013 it\u2019s that simple.

Tousled and romantic, it is an excellent style if you have thick hair<\/a> that doesn\u2019t like to be tamed. You will work with your hair\u2019s natural volume and movement, instead of fighting it. Start with medium length hair<\/a> and use product to build the volume at the front of your head. Then build up some height at the crown, keeping the sides back and away from your face. Doing this means that you will get the classic quiff effect of drawing eyes up to your hair, without distracting from your face.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\nRyan Reynolds Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nRyan Reynolds\u2019 quiff is all about texture. The actor keeps his look fresh and casual with a straight-up, spiky hairstyle<\/a> that has a sporty feel. This type of look can turn messy over time, so use some product to stop flyaways and keep the structure intact. While Ryan is often seen with a taper fade<\/a> \u2013 which would look great with this type of quiff too \u2013 growing the sides a little longer helps to flatter a long or triangle-shaped face<\/a>. It adds some width at the temples, which balances a pointed chin. Even better, it draws the eye up rather than down the face.<\/p>\n\n
Robert Downey Junior Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\nThe quiff is such a popular hairstyle<\/a> that it\u2019s worthy of Tony Stark himself \u2013 Robert Downey Jr. His take on the style is all about embracing the classic shape of the quiff and adding slightly piece-y, tousled tips.

Travolta\u2019s quiff also relied on a stronghold product which ensured that the whole head of hair was styled in the same direction and coated with a glossy shine.<\/p>\n

What is a Quiff?<\/span><\/h2>\n
A classic short hair<\/a> quiff is both easy to maintain and has a\u00a0Mad Men<\/em> vintage appeal. It is similar to the Ivy League cut<\/a>, with the same graduated length and side parting. However, your hair is a little longer on top, with some even longer pieces at the front which you can style however you like. One popular choice is a soft comb over<\/a> or side-swept quiff. The sides are still short, but because this is an old-school look, they won\u2019t be buzzed or faded by your barber. Just like the Ivy League, the short hair quiff is a youthful style with a polished feel.<\/p>\n David Beckham<\/a> is a great example of showing how a quiff can work for men of all ages. While it is not as extreme, it pivots on its shorter length and neatness. Beckham\u2019s quiff is also a lot easier to attain if your hair is naturally straighter. If a shorter interpretation is what you are after, ensure you are getting consistent haircuts to ensure everything looks sharp and neat. Style with a medium-hold hairspray to finish off the look.<\/p>\n Much like his personal style, British model David Gandy\u2019s quiff is classic with a modern edge. His hair possesses some length but is not overly long or distinguished from the top and sides. His styling is also not too precise \u2013 it relies on a bit of messiness to add a relaxed edge to the hairstyle. If your hair type is wavy, this version of the quiff is for you \u2013 the\u00a0styling will be a lot easier to perfect\u00a0for this versatile hair type.<\/p>\n George Clooney\u2019s style has been envied by men everywhere for decades, so it\u2019s no wonder he pulls off the quiff with his signature classy, dignified look. The actor proves silver hair<\/a> pairs perfectly with this cut because the contrast of black and grey creates the illusion of thicker locks. His style of quiff is also an excellent look for older men because it concentrates the volume at the front, which disguises any thinning while making the hairline seem more even and full. George also combines the quiff with a full yet neat beard, which is a great way to balance out facial features and draw attention to your eyes.<\/p>\n One of Hollywood\u2019s most popular leading men, Leonardo DiCaprio has been wearing the quiff hairstyle for decades. It\u2019s no wonder he\u2019s a fan \u2013 the quiff is a flattering choice for his round face shape<\/a> and hairline. The extra volume of the quiff helps balance fuller cheeks and his face\u2019s width while bringing more attention to his eyes. At the same time, the longer front sections of his hair help soften his widow\u2019s peak<\/a>.<\/p>\n Leading man Chris Pine has tried out many different hairstyles, from the buzz cut<\/a> to bangs<\/a> and a taper fade<\/a>. However, one of his best looks is the medium length quiff. It\u2019s an easy cut to maintain as there\u2019s no fading, shaving or tapering required. All it needs is semi-regular trims to ensure the hair doesn\u2019t get too long and out of control. A great look if you have naturally straight and thick hair<\/a>, the style only requires a small amount of wax or sea salt spray<\/a> to form the subtle quiff \u2013 it\u2019s that simple. The finished look is an \u2018all-rounder\u2019 \u2013 it suits men of all ages and is versatile enough to work for casual looks<\/a>, business meetings<\/a> or a night out<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Robert Pattinson quiff is all about messy texture and an undone, windswept feel. Tousled and romantic, it is an excellent style if you have thick hair<\/a> that doesn\u2019t like to be tamed. You will work with your hair\u2019s natural volume and movement, instead of fighting it. Start with medium length hair<\/a> and use product to build the volume at the front of your head. Then build up some height at the crown, keeping the sides back and away from your face. Doing this means that you will get the classic quiff effect of drawing eyes up to your hair, without distracting from your face.<\/p>\n Ryan Reynolds\u2019 quiff is all about texture. The actor keeps his look fresh and casual with a straight-up, spiky hairstyle<\/a> that has a sporty feel. This type of look can turn messy over time, so use some product to stop flyaways and keep the structure intact. While Ryan is often seen with a taper fade<\/a> \u2013 which would look great with this type of quiff too \u2013 growing the sides a little longer helps to flatter a long or triangle-shaped face<\/a>. It adds some width at the temples, which balances a pointed chin. Even better, it draws the eye up rather than down the face.<\/p>\n The quiff is such a popular hairstyle<\/a> that it\u2019s worthy of Tony Stark himself \u2013 Robert Downey Jr. His take on the style is all about embracing the classic shape of the quiff and adding slightly piece-y, tousled tips. Use a spritz of sea salt spray<\/a> and just your hands to recreate the effect. Doing so adds a playful vibe to what is otherwise a clean-cut, business-friendly style. The extra texture also helps to create thicker-looking hair<\/a> and makes you look more youthful.<\/p>\n The extra-long, extra textured quiff was a trendy look in the mid-2000s, and Zac Efron was the Hollywood star who worked it best. The actor\u2019s square face shape<\/a> benefits from the extra length that a tall quiff creates. The pointy pieces form a subtle triangle at the front of the head, drawing the eye up to the tip and adding even more height. Unlike more subtle hairstyles, all the focus is on the quiff with this look, so make sure you style it to perfection.<\/p>\n When it comes to iconic quiffs, James Dean leads the pack with his no-fuss interpretation of the hairstyle. His personal style corresponded well with his version of the quiff, as his style was typically layered, classic yet still relaxed. The actor\u2019s trademark quiff also boasted longer proportions at the top, with a relaxed styling of the hair so that the product\u2019s hold wasn\u2019t too strong. Not overly shiny, his quiff wasn\u2019t too precise- so don\u2019t be afraid to sport a textured quiff that isn\u2019t too perfect or over-styled.<\/p>\n Forget the music; Elvis Presley will always be remembered for his distinctive personal style \u2013 which predominantly centred on his well-thought-out and incredibly unique mane. Elvis\u2019 signature hairstyle sustained a well-balanced length; meaning that the sides and the back of his hair were longer and more proportionate to the longer front of his quiff. Men with wavy and curly hair<\/a> types will be able to adapt this version more efficiently \u2013 given volume is ideal for its styling. Elvis\u2019 hair was also all about high-shine, so apply a glossier product to finish off the look. Alternatively, update your interpretation of Elvis\u2019 quiff and experiment with products with different finishes to switch up his fifties look<\/a>.<\/p>\n John Travolta\u2019s iconic portrayal of Danny Zucco in the film Grease showcased the movie\u2019s powerful influence regarding style. The iconic \u2018comb through\u2019 gestures in the film highlighted the high-shine quiffs that the male actors sported. Remember that Travolta\u2019s \u2018do did not have a distinction between the top of his hair and the sides or back of his hair, so letting your hair grow out for this interpretation is a good idea. Travolta\u2019s quiff also relied on a stronghold product which ensured that the whole head of hair was styled in the same direction and coated with a glossy shine.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\nDavid Beckham Quiff<\/span><\/h3>\n
