August 30 - Iconic Quiff Award

Elvis Presley’s quiff hairdo is the most iconic of all time, according to research. A study of 2,000 adults saw the dark, slick-backed ‘do' worn by the singer during his rise to fame in the 1950s and 1960s come top of the poll in the United Kingdom once more with almost a third of the vote. 

Second place went to ‘Back to Black’ singer Amy Winehouse’s famous beehive, followed by Bob Marley’s dreadlocks. Jennifer Aniston’s ‘Rachel’ cut from the early years of Friends, Marilyn Monroe’s blonde curls and Star Wars’ Princess Leia’s ‘cinnamon buns’ also featured in the top 10.
