The boy’s faux hawk hairstyle has been in fashion since the early 2000s. The faux hawk is one of the trendy, popular and sharp or pointed hairstyles for boys. The name comes from 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.
Most Popular Faux Hawk Hairstyle for Boys
Faux hawk is a versatile boys’ hairstyle. Here we will discuss some of the types of faux hawk haircuts and styles for boys through which you can get a bundle of ideas and inspiration.
1. Faded Faux Hawk with Line Part
If you are looking for a classic hairstyle for an event, then this boy’s faux hawk will be most appropriate. In this haircut, the sides and back of the head are trimmed slightly and a clean, obvious part/line is created.
2. Curly Faux Hawk
This faux hawk hairstyle is for boys who have curly or wavy hair. You can use pomade or a good quality gel to fix your curls.
3. Undercut Faux Hawk
The top hair is long and a little bit messy. The sides are faded slightly. The top is disconnected from the sides as shown in the picture.
4. Shaggy Faux Hawk
It is a messy boy’s faux hawk and perfect for those boys who like a messy look of their hair.
5. Spiky Faux Hawk with a Bald Fade
It is a combination of spikes of the top hair and low bald fade sides of the head. The spikes are a little pointed as shown in the image above.
6. 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.
7. Curly Faux Hawk with a Shaved Square Pattern
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.
8. 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 add green with a wash-out spray or hair chalk.
Chalk and sprays rinse out the same day, so there is no weeks-long commitment for a kid. Unlike in a traditional mohawk, the back of the head should be shaved short.
9. Deep Red Quiff
Deep red is a more socially acceptable shade for a bolder look, and on a young boy it should come from a wash-out color spray or hair chalk rather than a permanent dye.
Keep the rest of the hair his natural color and brush the colored section forward to create a slight quiff at the hairline.
10. Spiky Faux Hawk with a Z-Shaped 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.
11. Blue Loc Faux Hawk
Locs protect the hair and are trendy so most black and mixed-race boys will be happy.
If they’d like to stand out more, then consider a bold color like blue. Shave an inch around the front of the hairline to keep up with hair trends.
12. Tall Peaked Faux Hawk
Boys with thick hair can easily pull off a very slick look where the hair is pushed towards the center of the head in a long spike. This spiked section should run from the hairline to the crown.
13. Fluffy Blue Faux Hawk
Blue will let everyone know not to mess with your kid. Let him wear his hair long so you can create a tall, fluffy style.
The sides should be in his natural color and feature a design that lets everyone know who’s boss.

How to Do Faux Hawk for Little Boys
Step 1: Make sure your child is super still while 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.
