Faux Hawk – BarberShopBlog.com

Fresh off of making possibly the greatest decision of his life, is it possible that another good decision is on deck for Jay Cutler as well? I’m talking about finally parting ways with his “Hair Helmet”.

The “Hair Helmet” is definitely a regional cut, sort of like a “Hi-Top Fade” is to a urban area or a mullet is to Council Bluffs, Iowa. While there’s nothing wrong with it, per say, it’s dated and isn’t meant for anyone living in an urban area like Chicago, especially in the summer time. And it just looks ridiculous. Like a woman with a cheap weave.

Seriously, you’re not eight years old anymore and your mom isn’t cutting your hair for free. Even a faux-hawk would be an upgrade. Come one Jay, we “be-weave” in you!

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.
