Anatomy of the Quiff

The quiff combines elements of the pompadour, flat top, and mohawk. Unlike a slick pompadour that flows entirely backward, a quiff directs the front hair upward and slightly forward, offering a more relaxed, textured, and matte look.

How to Ask Your Barber or Stylist

Top & Crown
