OK, this one might get me declared a social misfit, but would someone PLEASE kill the fauxhawk?!? Geez, guys, let it die already.

I second that motion!

i like it.

focus your efforts on outlawing ugg boots, crocks, denim shorts, mullets (i still see em occasionally out here in Ohio), TEVO velcro sandles, and crewneck undershirts worn beneath button downs with the bop button left open! ugh

I'm told a "tamer" fauxhawk is a good style for a guy with thining hair up top. It's definitely not a style that I ever understood but that's just me.

Fauxhawks are incredibly lame. They're nothing more than a half-assed version of a mohawk. It looks like you just dont have the balls to go all the way.

I dunno, I think fauxhawks are super-hot on petite lesbians.

I dunno guys... there's a straight guy in my section at my law school whose facebook profile has pictures of him with a fauxhawk and it's HOT!

if your fem, fauxhauks are lame cause its too obvious. but on a really masculine guy the irony can be interesting. I think too much...

I am not getting this style... Hot or lame, it is just not very practical. Unless you are a student or in the fashion or retail industry, how can you go to work with hair like that....?

like with everything some people take it to the extreme >>>> and there you're right very lame

I'm not sure that outlawing them is the answer. Perhaps, like mullets, they are actually caused by a viral infection. Why else would mullets spring up in a small percentage of people everywhere, from Mongolia to Tasmania? It could be that fauxhawks are caused by a new, less virulent virus? They're not quite at pandemic levels yet.

well, it seems i'm in yet another minority group. LOL

I am in the the corporate world and i have a variation of a fauxhawk. DOnt have to be a retail queen or in the fashion world to pull it off. My hair looks good in the board room just as much as it does out and about. Doesnt matter if your masculine or not, everyone at work seems to think its refreshing. Doesnt matter what you wear...on your head or on your body, as long as your comfortable and look good in the process. My two cents.

I've always had either real long hair or a shaved head so it's new for me to have "in-between" styles and i started with a fauxhawk (brohawks we sometimes call them in oz, 'cos it seemed all the guys that say bro at the end of each sentence had them lol) but i've got more of a typical korean men's style atm but the fronts a bit too heavy so it's looking like a rockabilly quiff lol

i still like them, it's another safe standard style that most people can wear and it looks neat and presentable. trends come and go, david beckham's hair's the new trend apparently, it's crossed between a brohawk and buzzcut, don't know what it's called but it's nice though.

what should lay down and rest for a bit is guys wearing their collars up.

consider the source. look at these people prior to altering your look. its a good thing.

Well if I was to meet somene in the coporate world wearing this hair style I am not sure if I would take the person all that seriously...

Just me.

If I wear that hair do, none of my patients will look at me the same way again...

Theres a hell of a lot more important things than hairstyles to concentrate on in life.

Fauxhawks can look really good on some people . . but having rocked a mohawk for a few months earlier this year, I just see those people as posers who are afraid to go all the way . .

Sure, the mohawk wasn't exactly practical--I had to stand my hair everyday in order to keep it from looking like I had a mop on my head . . but I liked the look. I'm a student and a DJ so it was praised all around where I worked and studied.

The best part was to see how differently people look at you, treat you, and react towards you when you have a hairstyle like that. It's crazy how something that small that you forget about has such an impact on the impression people have of you.

I'm not really trippin over the fauxhawk, but did FitchBoi REALLY suggest outlawing TiVO?!?!?!?

Never mind...heheheheh

Hey, I think on hot guys, fauxhawks are kinda cute. Kind of odd, but definitely not as kooky as a real mohawk. And all you haters out there...all it will take is ONE hot guy in a fauhawk to change your tune.

Ok I wonder how you guys feel about moustaches...but don't answer here...I'll start a new thread for that.

It is a difficult hair do to look right... Evertime I get up in the moring to use the bathroom, my hair already looks a bit like a fauxhawk...

what about real mohawks...?

mohawks are even hotter! i had twin red mohawks once, running on the each side of my head loved it but it was too long and i always wore it down and it looked like a clown

but not much can match a man with a muscled sweaty body, a mohawk, ripped jeans and docs :)

I dunno, I think it's dependant on the guy. I think it has to do with your personality - my hair has been ever colour under the sun, it's been long, short, buzzed, bald, and I even sported a mowhawk for a while (and it was HAWT! lol)...I think if you focus too much on whether or not it's 'appropriate' enough or not, then those viewing you pick up on it and ask themself that question. If you don't care, and it looks good...people don't care because it looks good.

Of course, if it looks terrible...then everyone notices, lol.

I kinda have a faux hawk...
It's actually HALF a mohawk.

I have a tattoo that goes down the back of my head and since i dont want to cover the tattoo the mohawk stops near the top of the tattoo.

Hah. This thread should be combined with the "tight fashion" thread...in which the renowned "International Male" catalog was brought up. Actually the fauxhawk is half as bad as the mullet.

Good Grief

You lot need to chillout a bit, it's only a haircut.

People should surely be able to wear their hair how they like, and unlike a lot of the supposedly intelligent posters here I don't judge people's ability on how they style their hair.

Not too sure how the cartoon relates to anything. Us Europeans are well known for our dress sense, unlike you yanks (Gay men in tight mesh tops, the Gap etc).

Loz

ps. Love the new photo Mr Fastprof, very dashing.

I actually think fauxhawks are super cute. But then, I support almost any version of the mohawk out there, because I find mohawks to be the absolute hottest hairstyle around.

Granted, fauxhawks aren't as hot as a full on mohawk, but they work in a pinch.

fauxhawks for faux people.

clearly you are not one to comment on trendy hairstyles seeing as you have none. dont be so concerned with the way others wear their hair. I like it on some as i like bic'd heads on some... to each his own. just deal with it. and i second lookbutcanttouch. right now bro.

Laurence, I am just jealous of guys who have enough hair on top who can do a faux mohawk... :-)

The cartoon is tongue in cheek, but is really a swipe at my Italian brethern (I am an Italian-American)... The cartoon, in fact, was titled ItalianFashion.gif or something like that... And I can attest to it...I've seen it personally.

Every day I contemplate getting one, but in reality I know I won't. I'm serious ! Actually I wish I had a wig collection. Do they make a faux-hawk wig. I want one !!!

That'd certainly save me time (the wig thing) - I remember once Dolly was asked - "How long does it take you to have your hair done?" to which the reply came, "How should I know? I'm never there when they do it!" Lord I love that gal!

LOL !! God bless her !

Amen to that - I have to say I think she is my favorite person in the world that I don't actually know.

An amazing singer and a BIG heart.. what more could any-one ask for ?

She's tops in my book

NRG We could go on and on, eh ? I like your input.
