Faux Hawk Style

The Faux Hawk (or "fohawk") is one of the most versatile cuts out there because it offers the edge of a mohawk without the "I’m in a 1980s punk band" commitment.

Because it adds height and structure, it plays differently with various face shapes. Here is the breakdown of who wears it best and why.

Why it works

Pro Tip

Round

The height of the hair creates an illusion of length, making the face look slimmer.

Keep the sides very short (skin fade) to maximize the "stretching" effect.

Oval

This is the "universal" shape. It handles the proportions of a fohawk perfectly.

Avoid making the top too high, or you might make your face look unnecessarily long.

Square

The soft, textured peak of the hawk offsets the sharp, angular jawline.

Use a matte product to keep the texture looking natural rather than stiff.

Heart

It adds volume to the top, which balances a narrower chin.

Keep the "hawk" slightly wider to avoid making the forehead look too broad.
