Faux hawk: Rebel cut for a conservative environment

Faux hawk is a cut that offers the rebellious look of the mohawk in a more acceptable form. Ideal for men who want to stand out, but must respect the work dress code.

What is a faux hawk

The ​​faux hawk imitates the classic mohawk, but the sides are not shaved - they are just shorter. A longer part remains in the middle of the head, which can be styled into a comb shape. The result is bold, but acceptable in a professional environment.
