A flip-up type hood for a vehicle, includes a vehicle body forming the vehicle, a hood body pivotally supported by the vehicle body through a pair of hood hinges attached to a rear end of hood body, and actuators provided in the vehicle body to apply a flip-up forces on rear portions of the hood body 10 and wires for connecting a designated part of the hood body with the vehicle body. In the hood, a length of each wire is established so as to allow the wire to be strained on condition that the hood body is flipped up. In operation, the strained wires operate so as to constrain the hood body to the side of the vehicle body, it is possible to suppress the rear portion of the hood body from being flipped up excessively and also possible to prevent an occurrence of flip-flop action of the hood body when the rear portions of the hood body is raised by the actuators.
