25 Hottest Faux Hawk Hairstyles for Men

What man would say no to a hairstyle that makes him look effortlessly stylish yet chiseled and macho at the same time? Such a look might sound too good to be true, after all that is the combination that so many men strive for yet never seem to be able to find. However, the perfect hairstyle for men who want the best of both worlds does, in fact, exist and that is the faux hawk. The name of this look is a play on the words ‘fake Mohawk’, because it is a trendy adaptation of the more extreme Mohawk style. Unlike its predecessor, the faux hawk doesn’t require wearers to totally shave the sides of their hair or to spike up the central strip. It is, however, still an edgy and totally on trend hairdo that comes in many variations and can look great on any man.

Height and Fade

The secret to perfecting this hairstyle has just as much to do with how you comb it as it does to do with the actual cut. Keep the sides closely clipped and leave a little bit of length in the top. Comb the crown up and forward to sculpt a high faux hawk.

The Perfect Length

You don’t have to opt for a graded shave or even a fade to rock a faux hawk. The hair in this look is kept relatively long all over and extra long on top, meaning it can be worn flattened down for formal occasions or waxed up like this on days (and nights) off.
