fauxhawk

Safer punk 'do

A fauxhawk is a hairstyle that mimics the look of a mohawk without shaving the sides of the head.

The hair is styled to stand up in a ridge along the center of the scalp, often using gel or other products, while the sides are simply combed or slicked down rather than buzzed off.

The style offers the edgy appearance of a mohawk with less commitment and easier maintenance.
