Sweeping the nation for the last year or two is the faux hawk (fauxhawk) or fohawk hairstyle. This newer version of the mohawk hairstyle so popular in the 1980’s does not involve cutting the hair so drastically on the sides of the head. A simple slightly shorter cut to the sides and back with the hair somewhat longer on the top of the head allows for the faux hawk hairstyle to be easily manipulated into shape with a touch of gel or wax. Simply smooth the sides back, ease the top into a tapered point and you’re done!

Another wonderful aspect of the faux hawk hairstyle is the ease in which it is hidden during the normal workday. It can be simply brushed back, or parted and brushed to the sides and no one is the wiser that when you go home you get a little bit on the wild side! A light mist of water to reactivate the styling product already in your hair, a quick swipe with a brush or comb and you’re done!

The faux hawk hairstyle can even be done without having to cut any of the hair at the sides of the head, just simple restyling. It’s great for the individual that has concerns about going with the true mohawk, and just want to try out a new look. It’s also less expensive just to try out, because, once again, it’s a matter of styling. You don’t have to worry about waiting for your hair to grow back if you hate it, you didn’t spend a fortune on it, and you don’t have to wear it all the time.

Any person can look great in a faux hawk hairstyle. Young boys, teens, college students, men and women can all sport the faux hawk. I’ve seen women wear it with a sprinkling of bangs and men wear it standing straight up over seven inches high! Often, the wearers cannot be seen at work with a true mohawk, so the faux hawk hairstyle is a great alternative. They look great in the office, and great at the club!

The faux hawk is really the best of both worlds. You can fit in no matter where you go, if it’s up or down. It’s two hairstyles in one and both look great! So just give in to the temptation, add a little styling product to your ‘do and see what you think. I’ll bet you like it!

Lenny Kravitz Curly Hairstyles

Lenny Kravitz is an American retro rocker. He is half Jewish, half black, and half white with most black men's hair texture. Because most black hair is coarse, tightly curly, & need more maintenance than straight hair type, short hairstyles are their favorite style.

To achieve Lenny afro hair, you need to keep all around (top, sides, & back) in the same length. Tightly curly, coarse, & thick hair are required for best afro look.
Dreadlocks tied back with medium sideburns make his appearance stylish & chic, although it is little harder to maintain long dreadlocks.

Max Maven Hairstyle

Deddy's style looks cooler & more unnatural than Max's as he applies make up on his face.
