What Is The Faux Hawk Hairstyle?

From the French word meaning “false”, the “faux” in this cut’s name suggests that you’ll be imitating something – in this case, a mohawk. The faux hawk is a toned-down take on the easily recognizable mohawk, a cut in which both sides of the head are shaven clean, leaving just a strip of long hair along the center. The fohawk is characterized by this same distinctive strip of longer hair, but allows for you to leave some hair on the sides (the “hawk”), which isn’t as long as it would be in the traditional cut.

Faux Hawk Fade

The best thing about faux hawk haircuts is that you can incorporate a fade or undercut instead of a shaved head. And with the fohawk fade, guys are given the option to occasionally change their hairstyle. For example, if a long faux hawk is too aggressive for the office, you can simply change your style to a comb over fade, slick back, or textured quiff. Ultimately, trendy faux hawk styles provide men a number of different looks.

Mohawk vs Faux Hawk

The primary difference between a mohawk and faux hawk lies in how extreme the hair is cut. While mohawks allow for little to no hair on the sides, faux hawks have short or medium-length hair on the sides that make the “hawk” distinguishable. This is where the fohawk taper fade comes in.

Another notable difference is how thick the central wave of hair needs to be. A traditional mohawk requires a thin strip of long hair, while the faux hawk can get away with a thick or thin width.

How To Style A Faux Hawk

There are many ways to style a faux hawk. For starters, you’ll definitely need a good quality hair styling product such as pomade or wax. To get and style a faux hawk, you’ll want to:

  1. Start with clean, towel-dried hair.
  2. Apply hair wax or pomade evenly throughout your hair, working the product in completely.
  3. Depending on the type of faux hawk you want to style, this next step may vary. For textured volume, use a blow dryer to direct your hair up and towards the center of your head. For a more pointed fohawk, use your hands to push your hair together.
  4. Finally, add more product if you need to strengthen the hold.

The key to styling a faux hawk is to experiment and find a style that works for the top. Some guys like to style their hawk in a particular direction, while others let both sides lift and meet in the middle. If you’re tired of doing a fohawk hairstyle, you can even slick all your hair back for a different hairstyle that day.

The Faux Hawk Fade

If you haven’t yet been to the barber, you should also think about how to cut the sides of your hair. If you’re looking for a cool, low-maintenance option but don’t want to shave your hair off, the faux hawk fade is the best haircut for you. Just pick a low or high fade and a suitable length to get it buzzed to. We recommend a high skin fade to create a sharp contrast to the hair on top.
