Quaff vs. Quiff

By Jaxson

  • Quiff

    The quiff is a hairstyle that combines the 1950s pompadour hairstyle, the 1950s flattop, and sometimes a mohawk. The hairstyle was a staple in the British ‘Teddy Boy’ movement, but became popular again in Europe in the early 1980s and faced a resurgence in popularity during the 1990s.
