The quiff is a hairstyle that combines the 1950s pompadour hairstyle, the 50s flattop, and sometimes a mohawk. The hairstyle was a staple in the British 'Teddy Boy' movement, but became popular again in Europe in the early 1980s and faced a resurgence in popularity during the 90s. ==Origin of the word== The etymology of the word "quiff" is uncertain, and several proposals have been suggested for its origin. * It may derive from the Hindi word ''quoff'', meaning hair slicked back. * It may owe its origin to the French word ''coiffe'', which can mean either a hairstyle or, going further back, the mail that knights wore over their heads and under their helmets. * Another possible candidate for its origin is the Dutch word ''kuif'', meaning "crest." The Dutch name for Tintin, who sports a quiff, is ''Kuifje'', which is the diminutive of the same word. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「quiff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
