A Messy Quiff will be much easier to achieve with a great cut at a barbershop. Find a barbershop you trust, and stick with them!

To achieve a great Messy Quiff, ask your barber to use thinning scissors to take volume from the top if necessary. They should use also use a scissors-over-comb technique, and the front section of the hair should be kept slightly longer. Use our Matt Clay to add the desired amount of texture to your style – keep working your hands back and forward through the quiff to create a messy look with great height.

Even though it’s a Messy Quiff, the sides should be short and tidy.
