This 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.
Even if you have wavy hair you can still get away with a hairstyle like this. It just might require putting a little more product or a stronger product in your hair.
Because 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.
This is the style of faux-hawk you see most guys wearing. I wore my hair this way for years. It's fun but not too edgy.
Sometimes you can just make the front of your hair stick up in a faux-hawk and comb the near your crown hair forward.
I love this African American faux-hawk hairstyle. With thinner dreadlocks, like in this photo, its an easy hairstyle to achieve with a little dreadlock wax.
When David Beckham first popularized the faux-hawk, this is what it looked like. Very short on the sides and a more pronounced "hawk" on top. This is definitely a little more edgy.
Here is a side view of an original style of faux-hawk. The sides and back are trimmed very short, but in this example the "hawk" part is only on the top. To be true to the original it would have run all the way down the back of the head, emulating a real Mohawk.
As the faux-hawk "matured" so to speak, it started to take on many interpretations and iterations. This more grown out version is one of my favorites.
I would typically associate longer hair with a true mohawk. This trim version is fun and sexy.

Blake Lewis has got faux hawk style. His spiky messy short crop looked great on him. Looks great on him.
