I've been meaning to write about this for awhile. This topic has come up in conversation several times over the past year including with hair stylists as they cut my hair.
The last and most notable time was at a wedding I recently attended where a cousin of my GF told me that she liked my fauxhawk. I had had a few drinks as I am known to do and decided to finally defend my hairstyle as an actual mohawk. I had recently looked up the definitions of the different hairstyles so I was loaded with factual data along with the alcohol. After a very brief but persuading explanation she smiled and agreed with me. Although I think she was just doing so to shut me up.
Here are the definitions of a mohawk and a fauxhawk from Wikipedia.
| The Mohawk or Mohican is a hairstyle which consists of shaving either side of the head, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair. |
| The fauxhawk hairstyle is an approximation of a mohawk made without buzzing or shaving the sides of the head, allowing an imitation of the extreme look of a true mohawk without having to commit to it by shaving the head. |
My current hairstyle:

Although my mohawk is not very tall, I don't think this disqualifies it from being a mohawk. I clearly have the side of my head shaved.
I have actually rocked the fauxhawk before:

So, let me know what you think in the comments. But if you think that my current hairstyle is a fauxhawk, then I think my first t-shirt says it all.
peace&love,
