If you want to learn how to style a faux hawk, all you need are some styling products and some hair. The more you practice this look, the easier it will be to pull off. This is great way to give yourself the look of a Mohawk without having to shave your head. In fact, this look is fast becoming popular with people around the world. Whether you have short or long hair, a faux hawk is a great look to try.

When you make a faux hawk for either short or long hair, it pays to skip a couple of washings. This will help when it comes time to style the faux hawk into place. Add a healthy amount of styling product like gel into the palms of your hands and slick it onto the sides of your hair. If you have especially thick hair, think about investing in styling paste or glue.

To make a faux hawk with long hair, brush your hair so that you make a high ponytail with the top two-thirds of your hair. Follow by making a smaller ponytail beneath this section with the rest of your hair. Take a brush or comb and tease up the front section of your hair so that you acquire the necessary height for your hawk. Smooth out the front, push it forward so it stands up and then hold the look with a pin or clip. Finish the long hair faux hawk look with a healthy amount of hair spray.

Making a faux hawk for short hair is incredibly easy. Start by smoothing the sides of the hair with some gel or hair product. Then take the middle section of your hair and use more product to make it stand up. Try using curling iron or blow dryer to help secure the look. Finish the short hair hawk by setting with strong hairspray.
