A faux hawk haircut for men is often characterized by its closely clipped sides. However, if you want to keep “long” hair along the sides while embracing a Mohawk, this is the most suitable cut.
A stylish faux hawk haircut for men can do wonders with your looks, especially if it’s just edgy enough to be intriguing yet not so over the top that it can’t be taken seriously. For this style, the sides are generally clipped short with the hair longer on the top where it can be spiked or formed into a point, depending on hair texture.

As with any haircut, the way the hair is cut makes all the difference in the finished product. This haircut is heavily feathered, which gives it depth and thickness throughout the top and middle of the hair.
A shaggy haircut is best for those who love a messy touch to their hair, and, luckily, you can have the look while also embracing a popular haircut, just like this photo.

The way your haircut is parted makes all the difference in how it looks. This style is parted deeply on each side and then faded, while the top is more understated and simply spiked up.
@mensworldherenkappers
The cut works well with a variety of hair textures. This one is done on naturally curly hair, the sides are low and faded.
@andyauthentic
If it’s edge and drama you’re looking for in your hawk cut, then this one is definitely the style for you. While the sides are clipped short, the top and nape are left longer and then shaped and spiked into an amazing Mohawk.
@clipperlgnd
Initially you may think that a buzz cut and a faux hawk have little in common, but you’d be surprised at how great they look when combined. The visual effect of Mohawk is created here thanks to the combination of shorter sides and longer buzz cut.
@american_salon
Enhanced by a messy touch, this style is all about the way it is combed. By combing it up, you accentuate the point-cut ends and the front-tilted quiff that shapes a cool silhouette of your style.
@modernsalon
Sometimes going to the extreme with your haircut is just what you need to spice things up. This cut features neatly tapered short sides, but the long, sharp and extremely spiked top section is what sends heads turning.
@javi_thebarber_
There is a myriad of styles, but this one is all about using your fingers. Besides the edgy spiked top and tapered sides, the cut is given personality thanks to the cool finger-combing styling technique used throughout.
@salonsouthflowbyresta
Your hairstyle can be any length you like, even if it causes the shape to look a little different. This cut features skinned sides, while the nape is tapered. The middle and top are left considerably longer for a Mohawk shape to be created.
@nastybarbers
Proving that you don’t necessarily have to have naturally curly hair to achieve the curled look, this style plays with texture by adding flicks throughout the top.
@javi_thebarber_
The majority of faux hawk haircuts for men are punctuated by their spiky top that channels rockstar chic. However, it’s also possible to keep your hair relatively smooth. The hair in the top, back and sides is neatly brushed and smoothed with a slight spike. We love the taper fade harmoniously blended into the style.
@perrettobarbershop
Loving the look of a fade but still want to play around with a Mohawk? The faux hawk fade is the best of both worlds. Adding a low fade is a great way to embrace different hair lengths and textures.
@pjabreu
There are so many style options available that suit a variety of tastes. In this picture, there is a bolder skin fade haircut on display, as the shaved sides and spiky top are pretty expressive but not too over the top.
@nastybarbers
This is the classic shape of a trendy haircut. The sides are just low enough to look neat and appropriate, while the top is left significantly longer so that it can be spiked to give the style the Mohawk.
@nastybarbers
One of the essential features of a Mohawk is its pointy top that’s usually achieved by spiking with a product. In this picture, you see a crisp pointy top and the sides which are left pretty full.
@nastybarbers
Black men probably pull off Mohawk better than other races, that’s why the style is closest to the original Mohawk. The back is still faded, so you can take this look rather for a cool and trendsetting style. Anyway, if you like it, go for it, no matter how it’s referred to.
@trendsetterslounge
Perfect for the office or any other professional setting, this style is just the right amount of edgy and cool, while still looking appropriate.
@dinoantony_
When you want to embrace a Mohawk, but would rather ease into it slowly, this is the ideal haircut. The following short style features completely shaved sides and a small amount of hair on top to create a tiny Mohawk.
@riversideshaveco
Here you see one more way to style your hair and to make it more messy and edgier. With the help of extra-hold styling gel make small spikes out of your hair. Sides have to be neatly faded.
@nellynelthebarber
Many African American men love the look of a high or low fade, however, this haircut was taken up a notch thanks to the addition of the shaved part on the side.
@cool_cutz
The main advantage of the cuts with longer top and short sides is that you may continuously experiment with styling. High pomps, curled waves, neat combover – it is just the beginning of the list of must-try options for this season.

@gillbertmoraes
Highlighting a tapered style along the lower middle, sides and back, the faux haircut features a clean and neat style. This usually not the normal way that most Mohawks look, but it’s a nice and stylish change if you want to embrace a funky yet neat style.
@h2portobello
Do you know the easiest way to look stylish every day? To have the right haircut! Neatly cut temples, perfectly styled long tresses, cool beard – these are your number one priority when you go to your barber.
@barberobengie
A little extra length on top and curl never hurt any hairstyle, right? As seen with this haircut, you have a long top and middle section that is curly yet gives off a messy look.
@nastybarbers
The upper back portion of this short style features a precision buzz cut, often seen on military professionals yet the top is long enough to create a Mohawk shape.
@justmikethatsme
Quite popular in the 1980s, the rat tail has reemerged as a part of this retro look. The back is left long and cut into a tail shape, while the top is spiked, and the sides are shaved.
@nastybarbers
Leaving your sides fully intact may not be the look of a traditional Mohawk, but it works quite well with modern versions like the one seen here. Since the focal point of any Mohawk style is the pointy center, you can have your full sides and still recreate the style quite nicely.
@styledbycherriese
To show the contrast between long and short hair strands even more, ask your barber to make a bald fade. While temples and nape are super-short, the long top can be styled like a fake hawk or a modern pompadour.
@skillsthebarber
This faux hawk haircut for men features a cute fade on the sides, but it’s the funky texture at the top that gives it the edge. The front of the cut is twisted for texture enhancement and highlighted with the shaved line.
@trendsetterslounge
Once the low fade is achieved on this African American haircut, the short hawk is created by blending the top section into the fade seamlessly and extending the back section into the V-line nape.
@khalilchiefmalamug
Taking cues from the high top fade, this haircut features totally shaved sides with a lot of spiky texture on top and awesome square hairline. The final result is a haircut that is both retro and modern with a little bit of edge.
@baldysbarbers
For this look, the sides are faded practically to the skin, while the longer top portion is styled into an intricate swirl shape.
@toastiestyles
Every haircut begins somewhere and as you can see in this picture, a beginner haircut can also be pretty stylish. The back and sides are completely shaved, while a small portion of hair on top is blended perfectly with the skin fade.
@texasbestbarber
Embracing your natural hair texture is one of the best ways to personalize your haircut. This picture features a medium wavy top section and faded sides.
@famos
You can have any haircut in the world, but if it’s not precise then the whole look fails. This precision cut is on another level of being cool.
@m13ky
One reccurring theme in these pictures is just how many men love to combine a buzz cut with high-top haircuts. This one features a shorter version of the popular military haircut.
@texasbestbarber
Be creative and add some funky elements to your haircut in the form of designs. In this picture you see a faux haircut for men that displays an intricate design pattern in the back. It’s a good way to personalize your style.
@clipperlgnd
When you think of a Mohawk, chances are high a rockstar look like in the photo comes to your mind. The front is perfectly spiked, while the sides and the back are faded smoothly.
@raelbronx
As seen in the images above, a faux hawk haircut for men can be anything you like as long as the basic shape is maintained. It is also a great haircut to try when you want to add an element of drama and some extra interest points to your style. Your possibilities are truly endless!
