faux hawk

Center-spiked hair style

A faux hawk is a hairstyle that mimics a mohawk without shaving the sides of the head.

The hair is styled upward in the center to create a ridge or crest, while the sides are kept short or swept back rather than removed entirely: He gelled his hair into a faux hawk for the concert.

The style offers the edgy look of a mohawk with less commitment.
