Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is always a style trendsetter on and off the ground. Recently, Dhoni transformed his looks to a trendy style by adopting a stylish quiff hairstyle given to him by well-known celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim. And now, Dhoni happens to be style personified with this modern twist to classic style.
In some pictures of Dhoni dropped by Aalim on Instagram, the cricketer was seen sporting the quiff hairstyle – a dynamic style that takes two of the most important styles in 1950s men’s hairstyles: the pompadour and flattop, and merges them into one hairstyle.It is a style where the hair is longer around the top, particularly the front and shorter sides and back.These make up for a high-contrast look and add volume to the hair. For a neat look, he has the sides and back combed down, while his front gets a volumising boost from mousse or hair gel, which creates a balanced mix of polish and relaxation. Dhoni’s latest hairstyle infuses in him a bit of that youthful sparkle that further boosts this already charismatic persona.
What makes this hairstyle rather interesting is that the style has much history involved in it. The quiff originated as an anti-establishment reaction to the very tight, short haircuts of the time and became popular in the British Teddy Boy movement but experienced a revival in Europe through the 1980s and 1990s.
The quiff is probably one hairstyle that comes closest to mirroring every event from casual adventures to soirees. It suits almost every type of face shape, hair type, and style. Dhoni’s new haircut embodies all these facets, and in one snip of the barber’s scissors, he proves himself adept at making a style statement that the world will follow.
This new style is quite a pleasant change from Dhoni’s iconic long hair that he has sported for years. We feel the quiff refreshes him and at the same time creates an image of a young guy that is a reflection of the modern look which fans as well as followers love.
Hairstyles are a statement of personal style, and in the case of MS Dhoni, the quiff is a bold statement defining his evolution as a fashion icon.
If you are planning to get a haircut soon, consider the quiff as an option since styling it is not too difficult to maintain!
