In order to style the hair properly, you need to know how the hair is styled in a faux hawk. Let us know more about the faux hawk, curly hair straightening method, and styling a fohawk hairstyle.

The Faux Hawk Hairstyle

The 'faux hawk', also known as a 'fohawk', is a hairstyle that is a slight variant of the extremely famous Mohawk haircut. In order to understand the style of a faux hawk, you will have to know the hairstyle in a Mohawk. In a Mohawk, the hair is cut from the sides and the hair on the crown is gelled in the upwards direction, creating a line of standing or spiked-up hair from the front of the head to the nape. Note that in a Mohawk, the hair at the sides are trimmed to make a sharper look of hair at the top of the head. Now, in a faux hawk haircut, the only difference is that the hair at the sides is not cut, yet set on the crown upwards, and hence the name 'faux'.

The faux hawk is a hairstyle that mostly looks good on people with straight and fine hair. However, even if you have curly hair, you can still wear this stylish hairdo, but with first treating the curls in the right manner. As the curls tend to go out of place, you will have to use good quality hairspray and hair-gel for making a faux hawk on curly hair. It would also be better if you get the hair trimmed to around one or one an a half inch, so that it would set over the head properly.
