Faux Hawk Haircuts: What to Discuss Before Your Appointment

A faux hawk directs the top toward a central ridge without necessarily removing the sides as dramatically as a mohawk. The ridge can be subtle and wearable or more pronounced. Faux Hawl appears to be a spelling error for faux hawk; the style is best discussed with a clear reference photo.

Details to decide before the appointment

Explain the height and width of the central shape and whether you want the front more pronounced than the crown. Decide whether the sides should blend, taper or fade. Mention whether you want to wear the top another way sometimes; a versatile version may need a different balance of length.

Keeping the result you prefer

Try arranging the top toward the center and note how naturally the ridge holds its shape. If it needs more effort than you want, discuss a lower or broader version. Preserve enough top length for the intended direction rather than shortening everything simply because the sides need tidying.

How does a faux hawk differ from a mohawk?

A faux hawk usually keeps more hair at the sides and creates the central emphasis mainly through the haircut and styling. A mohawk more clearly separates a central strip from the sides.
