A MEN’S STYLING GUIDE TO THE MODERN QUIFF HAIRSTYLE

July 20, 2022
The modern day quiff is all about creating a cool contrast between the short hair on the back and sides and the longer, textured hair on top. A contemporary way to pull this off is to combine a nice taper fade with the quiff. The quiff is the hair that is styled up from the hairline and is best kept messy and textured. Let’s take a look at how to style this haircut.
Modern Quiff Hairstyle

1: Start by degreasing and washing your hair.

Wash away any product build up and clean your hair well to get started. This will lay the right foundations for your styling and we recommend using Uppercut Deluxe Detox and Degrease Shampoo. It is a deep cleansing shampoo specially designed to remove stubborn product build up. Rinse thoroughly and towel-dry.


2: Bust out the blowdryer.

Dry your hair with a blowdryer and begin pulling your fingers through your hair to start creating some initial shape and height to the quiff.


3: Introduce the power of powder.

Modern textured hairstyles benefit from the use of modern texturising products and there is no quicker or easier product than a shake and rake power like Uppercut Deluxe Styling Powder. Simply dust a little over the top and then tassel into place with your fingers.


4: Refine your style.

For a firmer finish and all day hold we recommend the addition of a matte paste or pomade to help set the look. Rub a little product between your hands and then pull your fingers through the hair to apply. Use any residual product to smooth down the sides. Another option is a quick hit of hairspray like 1821 Man Made Hair Spray. Just like that your modern quiff is styled and should hold up all day.
