Quiff
Encyclopedia : Q : QU : QUI : Quiff
The Quiff is a hairstyle that combines the 50's pompadour hairstyle, the 50's 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 1980's with early psychobilly acts including The Meteors, Demented Are Go, and others.
For a while, DJ and TV presenter Mark Lamarr was a famous proponent of the quiff.
British singer Morrissey, formerly of The Smiths, is well-known for his trademark quiff.
Danny Zuko and his fellow T-Birds (in the film Grease) also sport quiffs.
