Cool Men's Faux Hawk Hairstyles

Cool Men's Faux Hawk HairstylesThis faux-hawk is a more conservative approach to the hairstyle. The top is somewhat short which would allow you to comb your hair to the side should you want to style it differently.

Cool Men's Faux Hawk HairstylesBecause Asian men can have such thick straight hair (something I envy) which often grows straight out as well, trimming the sides to the right length is important. Like in this photo, the sides are trimmed short but not too short and the top is proportional making the whole hairstyle more symmetrical.
