Boy’s faux hawk hairstyle has been in fashion since 2000. The faux hawk is one of the trendy, popular and sharp or pointed hairstyles for boys. It generally refers to the word fake hawk because it is just like the Mohawk hairstyle but there is a slight difference between these two haircuts.
Mohawk includes the completely shaved sides of a head but in the case of faux hawk hairstyle, the sides are just faded and not shaved off completely.
As compared to Mohawk, a boy’s faux hawk can be worn at any event. A faux hawk hairstyle for boys is different and playful while being super easy to do. If you are a fan of stylish hairdos that you can wear anywhere and at any time, just give them this cool cut this Summer season.
How to Style Faux Hawk on Boy’s Hair
This hairstyle includes the following steps –
- Wash your hair thoroughly and dry it with the help of a towel. (Don’t blow dry your hair to avoid the rough look but if you have short hair then you can blow dry to give them volume.)
- Apply any hair styling product such as hair wax, gel or good quality pomade.
- Make spikes of the hair on the top of the head with the help of hands
- Slightly comb the spike downward to make it look different from Mohawk
- Flat your hairs on the sides of the head to give it a tamed look
- Now use hairspray to fix the style
That’s it, you are done.

How to Do Faux Hawk for Little Boys
Step 1: Make sure your child is super still once getting this haircut. Although it is super easy to achieve, as well as quick to do, our little ones can become super impatient after sitting in that chair for longer than 5 minutes.
Step 2: Go for a sleek fade on the sides, you can even settle for a sidecut or any other bolder detail. Also, you can do some temporary highlights as long as your boy isn’t afraid of them. Once cut and defined on the sides, make sure you focus on the top part.
Step 3: Leave the top as natural as possible. If your child has a lot of hair and they are not afraid of hair gel or hairspray let their hair grow out long! Style the top by combing it through, and decorate and style a sleek hawk by doing upward teasing motions.
Step 4: Wash their hair often (especially if it has been styled with some hair gel, hair wax, or hairspray), or tie it into a small ponytail if you are short on time. Use natural, sulfate and paraben-free shampoos, as well as any hair styling products which are made for sensitive skin.

7. Side Swept Blonde Curls
Boys entering their teen years will want to stand out a little more. Going blonde is a bold choice.
Gather the hair up into a tall fohawk look and sweep it to the side in loose curls that resemble waves. Shaving a little around the hairline can be trendy with this look.
8. Square Swirl Design

Little boys with a design shaved into the sides of the head will be the coolest boys in school.
A square swirl design is both eye-catching and highly appropriate for kids. The hair on top should be kept nice and short so the sides are visible.
9. Green Spiked Faux Hawk

Faux hawk hairstyles for little boys don’t always have to be tame. Spike the hair up in the middle of the head and dye it green.
You can use semi-permanent dye that washes out within a few weeks. Unlike in a traditional mohawk, the back of the head should be shaved short.
10. Deep Red Quiff

Deep red is a more socially acceptable shade if your little boy would like his hair dye to be more permanent.
Keep the rest of the hair his natural color and brush the colored section forward to create a slight quiff at the hairline.
11. Spikes with Design

Boys looking for an edgier look should get spikes and a design to be super cool. A simple Z-shaped design will suffice, and keep the spikes short and angled towards the front of the head.
12. Bold Blue Locs

Locs protect the hair and are trendy so most black and mixed-race boys will be happy.
