Quiff Hairstyles for Men and Women 2012

Quiff hairstyles can be seen on the runway as well as in fashion magazines, celebrities can be seen wearing various versions of the quiff hairstyle.

it is a vintage look, going back to the 50's men are wearing trendy styles as well as woman, the style is catching on.

In my area I see woman wearing little puffs of hair in the front of a ponytail or updo hairstyle, its fun and I can see it having a lasting affect for the rest of 2011.

How to create a Psychobilly Hair Style

If you are trying to achieve the look its pretty simple to do just make sure your hair is long at the crown because this will make the little piece up front be higher and more defined.

Take a small section comb it up use hair spray to make it stay and then fold it over and pin it, then the rest of the hair can be put into a ponytail or left out.

I think quiff hairstyles work best on thick hair, because it will be easier for you to get the hair to stay, plus the higher the pomp the better.

Must have tools for making a retro quiff in your hair

You will have to get a rat tail comb which is a small tooth comb with a long narrow handle.

Hairspray is probably the most important accessory because this is how you will achieve the high top hair.

Bobby pins are needed to hold pieces of the hair back away from the face. You can also use a crocodile clip to help with getting your hair just the way you want it.

Last but not least you will need a big enough mirror to see all angles of your head, from the front back and sides.

Retro vintage hair looks is all the rage and to get the style all you need is to grow your hair long on the top of your head and to slick your sides back or shave the sides.

You may want to grow side burns but the show stopper will be the long hair in the top of your hair because that is the place you can create a faux hawk as well and grease it up.

Other options will be to use a wide curling iron and curl the hair up into a big roll, or you could just pin it up with pin curls to get that 40's and 50's inspired pompadour hairstyle.

Short or long hair will work with this type of style if you want a fast way to get your hair into rockabilly style you can brush your hair back along the top by combing in an upward motion from both sides of your eyebrow.

Make sure that you have a complete wall of hair going straight up from the brow area, you can do this with a comb or brush. This usually works best on thick hair too.

Once you do this it is time to pinch the hair together and then push all of it forward until you see a bubble forming.

Your next step is to secure the quiff by taking the hair that is behind your fingers and crossing it over tightly before setting in your bobby pins.

I have seen people pick different heights to the hair, some are more conservative and just look like a bump while others create a high hill on the top of their head.

Whichever one you prefer it will look best as big as possible to make a dramatic effect and once it is smooth use plenty of hairspray.

You may even want to use a large barrel curling iron or fat roller to get a curled look in the front of your hair if you have grown out your front bangs.

The psycobilly quiff will need more backcombing to create the great heights of hair.

The one thing you will notice that if your hair is dirty or not freshly washed it will stick together better but if your hair is soft and full of fly away hairs you may want to use a strong holding hair gel.

This time you can pull your hair back into a feathered look and then start backcombing each inch of hair and hair spraying as you go along smoothing it to achieve the perfect hair shape you want.

Everyones hair will turn out different but at least you will have the just of the style so that people know that your look is unique to your personality.

Cutting hair into a quiff hairstyle

A quick way to achieve the look is to grow your hair long on top, start with having long side swept bangs that reach your shoulders.

Then you will want to shave the sides of your head to low or a few inches in length. This will make the hair in the front stand out more.

Next use some hair spray and comb the hair forward. the longer the hair is on top the bigger the style will be.

Get a good professional hairstylist to cut your hair in layers and keeping the bang or hair in the forehead area extremely long and out of proportion from the rest of the hair.

Changing your hair color is another idea for getting a two-toned effect. This can be worn by both men and women.

Lighter colored hair can be shaped and defined into a original and unique pompadour haircut.
