Faux Hawk Hairstyle for Women

The Faux Hawk is a trendy version of one of the oldest haircuts in the world. The Mohawk takes its name from the warriors of an Indian tribe and was carried by cultures around the world, from the time of the ancient warriors to the punk rockers of today. Mohawks are characterized by the fact that both sides of the head are shaved and that a stripe with noticeably longer hair remains in the middle. Of course, this could be seen as a bit too extreme for many people, and that's how the Faux Hawk came into fashion. By simply straightening the sides of your hair and lifting the middle sections, you can maintain the overall structure and nervousness of the Mohawk without doing anything to your curls. Faux hawks fit all hair lengths and textures and can make anyone look seriously stylish. Here are some of our favorite faux hawk looks to inspire you.
