Featured Style: Messy Quiff

The Messy Quiff is the perfect style for the no-fuss kinda guy. An easy to style, low maintenance cut that ticks the boxes no matter the occasion.

The Messy Quiff was a 2000’s staple made popular by footy players but has since stood the test of time and has become a classic for guys of all ages. You might call it something else, but there is no doubt about this spikey men’s cut, it’s a style that is sure to impress.

Check out this example of a Messy Quiff by longtime friend of the brand, Paul Hewitt. Paul combines the Messy Quiff with a nice tight skin fade, taken up high. To finish, the barber has used Featherweight for a natural shine, but with plenty of texture and hold. 

Featherweight is the perfect product to create short, messy styles without compromising control. With plenty of hold, Featherweight is able to control your style while remaining pliable, allowing you to work your hair into the perfect shape.

Not many cuts are as simple to style as this one. With these tips, you’ll be rocking the perfect Messy Quiff in 2 minutes flat.

Before you get started, hop into the shower and give your hair a wash with Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner. Styling is always easier with freshly washed hair – it’s more workable and will react far better to the product.

Once washed, give your hair a thorough towel dry.

Next, take a fingernail sized scoop of Featherweight from the tin and spread it evenly across your hands. Rub your hands through your hair, spreading the product throughout.

Working from back to front, begin to push your hair forwards. To create texture, use your fingertips to scrunch at your hair – pay particular attention to the midsection. 

To create the quiff, take your fingertips to your fringe and light upwards. To perfect your style, take a tiny amount of Featherweight from the tin and rub it across your fingertips. Now, pick, pinch and pull at sections to emphasize the texture in your fringe.

There you have it – the perfect Messy Quiff.
