quiffed

Styled with volume

Quiffed describes hair styled into a quiff—a tuft or wave brushed upward and back from the forehead: He arrived looking freshly quiffed.

The style evokes 1950s rock and roll or modern hipster fashion.

Someone quiffed has their hair done this way: a quiffed young man in a leather jacket.
