Quiff

The quiff is a classic men’s haircut that solves the problem of stiff, unruly hair that clients struggle to manage on a daily basis. The course demonstrates how to create a stable, lightweight style based on two key shapes: a triangle in the vertical plane and a square in the horizontal plane, so that the hairstyle falls predictably and with character.

Miłosz Mikołajczak guides you through the entire process, starting with an active cut on wet hair, where he builds the shape of the crown from a reference strand at the top of the head. A key element of the course is a demonstration of two different techniques for creating a fade on a single model: the descending method on one side and guard skipping on the other. Miłosz explains when and why to choose each technique depending on the client’s hair type and color.

In this course, you'll learn:

• Two techniques for creating a fade on a single model: the descending fade for light, fine hair, and guard skipping for dark, thick hair
• Constructing a square in a horizontal plane – why a ridge parallel to the ceiling is key to the correct shape
• Create a triangle in the vertical plane, starting from the bangs, to avoid the effect where the back is higher than the front
• Using a comb to assess head shape and determine the minimum hair length needed to maintain the style
• Use wet point cutting and dry pointing to give the hairstyle lightness and texture right from the start
• A complete styling routine with a pre-styler – how to blow-dry your hair in the opposite direction to create maximum volume at the roots

After this course, you’ll start consciously building a quiff as a system based on geometry, not chance. You’ll learn how to choose the right fade technique for your client’s hair texture and color, which will speed up your work and improve its quality. Instead of struggling with stiff, unruly hair, you’ll turn it into an asset by creating a stable hairstyle that’s easy to style every day.
