quiff
Retro swept hairstyle
A quiff is a tuft of hair brushed upward and back from the forehead, creating a distinctive pompadour-like shape.
The style has cycled through fashion—popular with 1950s rockers, revived in various decades since: He spent ten minutes perfecting his quiff in the mirror.
In British slang, quiff is also vulgar for vagina.
