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.

Film critic Mark Kermode is famed for his 50's style quiff.
