The wave of quiff hairstyles have been taking over the fashion charts for years now and every time we think that the trend is going to die, it always comes back with a new twist! Was it James Dean’s old Hollywood glam or is it Beckham’s fashion forward contemporary twist? Whoever you owe your pompadour style to, do it right with the quality hair products! A man who invests his time in his crown, is a man worth taken seriously.

Here we have gathered 5 ways to nail the modern quiff with no sweat at all:

1. Matte pomade for the Classic Quiff

The classic quiff is the perfect hairstyle for the man who wants to keep his style minimal yet worth noticed for. For the cut, remind your hairstylist to keep a reasonable amount of length at the sides and the top section to be much longer. Once you have got the cut right, now use the right products! You want to have your hair neatly slicked back but yet natural. So opt for a matte pomade with a strong hold and no shine!

Product Recommendation:

2. Hair mousse for the Messy Quiff

The messy quiff is probably the hardest to achieve. But effortless soft waves are something any girl would die for! The key to achieve this hairstyle is to always have motion to your hair. If you have natural curls or waves, this is your go to hairstyle to get your gravity defying hair into a well put together brush up style. For the cut, remind your hairstylist to keep the length long cos you need the volume to work with. For the product, opt for a mousse or lotion as opposed to a gel to keep the strands separated and achieve greater volume.

Product Recommendation:

3. Wet pomade for the Slick Side Quiff

The side quiff is one that is filled with extreme edges put in one style. Be sure to remind your stylist to keep the sides with an aggressive gradient, mid-section with medium length and the front layer to be the longest. The way to achieve this look will be to get your basic blow drying techniques right! Blow dry your hair to the front, the back and the front again. Blowing your hair with heat in opposite directions will help you get the volume you are looking for! Finish with wet pomade for the slick look.

4) Sea salt spray and pomade for the Red-carpet Quiff

Who could have forgotten Elvis signature rolled quiff in his black denims? Beckham has taken it to the next level with his modern sport twist! Although achieving the look of the world’s sexiest man may be a challenge, nothing beats hard work! This look can be achieved by keeping the sides rather longer than usual and make sure that the undercut is subtle. This will probably be a little more age appropriate as it is subtle yet stylish. For the products, try using sea salt spray before blow drying for extra volume and apply a good quality pomade!

5. Sea salt spray for Textured Quiff

A textured quiff is all about creating movement and depth. Use a texturizing product or hair gel to give your hair some hold and definition. This look can be achieved by spraying sea salt spray to damp hair, taper or fade the sides and back of your hair to create a contrast with the top. Then roughly blow-drying while using your fingers to create a natural, lived-in feel.
