Did anyone really believe the “Faux Hawk” would subsist this long? I remember the first time I saw it back in 2003 and at that time any person utilizing the style was subject to a lot of ridicule; it was like a built in cock (rooster) joke. But once David Beckham started rocking it, it spread like wildfire in a heavily wooded area thanks to a cigarette being flippantly discarded.
A quick description;
A variation of the “Mohawk” hair style. Hair is worm longer down the middle of the head and usually spiked with gel. Contrary to the traditional “Mohawk” style, hair is not shaved completely on the sides of the head.
Since it isn’t going anywhere, and thanks to the magic of the internet, you can give yourself a faux-hawk and watch the ladies swoon as if you were Jake Gyllenhaal.
I remember seeing it for the very first time, when on vacation in NYC the week before 9/11/01. i loved it cause it was fresh. so i tried it out and got a great reaction. fast forward 10 years later and i still see people rocking it and when i do, i get so angry i wanna chop their head off, lol. imagine rocking the flock of seagulls hair style, in 1992, in the grunge scene. IT’S JUST WRONG!
I doubt he would have attained such pupularity wihout his promoters.
