For a look that appears high maintenance but doesn’t take a lot of time and effort, consider longer hair on top that you can easily style up with a minimal product. By putting some effort into the design or shape of the taper leading from your ears and neck up to your hawk, you can create a neat and manicured look and leave it lower maintenance on top.
If you are looking for something a little shorter, consider a medium-length faux hawk and shorten your fade as well. By creating a dynamic fade from your hawk to your ears, you can make your hawk stand out more clearly. Consider a tapered length from back to front for an easy, “run your fingers through it” style that you can easily recreate every day.
This hawk looks high maintenance and yet it does not require a lot of effort on your part. It all comes down to appropriate shaping with clippers to achieve a smooth fade and then spiking your hawk. This particular look works well in short, medium, and long lengths so go wild creating spikes in any length that suits your hair type and length. Just make sure to select a fade style that suits the length of your hair like the fellow in the picture!
This is another great example of how a fade can work well to change the style of a faux hawk. This is a medium-length style that is lightly tapered from back to front. What makes it work is the sharp contrast in the fade between the beard and the hairline. Choose clippers at an appropriate length to gradually fade upward from your ear to the beginning of your hawk to create smooth lines and create bold, dynamic looks such as this one.
Speaking of bold, dynamic looks – hard parts are a great way to make a faux hawk stand out even more than they already do. Carefully trim away the hair in a straight line at the very base of the hawk, then trim everything below the hard part with clippers using zero or one blade for a smooth look. The placement of the line can make all the difference, so try experimenting each time you play around with this cut.
This is another playful interpretation of the hard part, taking it a step further. If you want to do something really fun with your hair, then consider cutting a design into your hard part to differentiate between what is shaved and the faux hawk rather than simply fading it. This is a sure-fire way to draw attention to your new haircut. Spiking your hair requires minimal product or maintenance, as faux hawks should not be weighted down.
The undercut style changes its shape and adds volume and fullness. This style has a lot of textural interest that you may not find in other styles. There is also a nice temple fade here which lends to the low maintenance, easy-going nature of the style. If you’re looking for a hawk style that won’t give you a lot of trouble, this is a style that is easy to achieve and easy to keep up while still looking great.
With slight changes in the direction of the fade, or the length of the hair, or even just styling, you can create a completely different look. Here we have a fade that is longer in the back and shorter around the ears and temples, and a medium undercut faux hawk that is only lightly tapered but with light highlights that drastically alter its appearance. Adding light highlights can bring a shorter hairstyle to life. Playing with blade lengths when fading is another great way to reframe the appearance of a faux hawk.
This high fade undercut style transitions from a close trim to a medium-long style that is spiked up in a semi-messy, low maintenance look. Nothing about this look screams high maintenance. This is an easy look to recreate for someone who is just getting started in this realm and does not want to commit to something more bold or dramatic, because you can always trim it shorter or add more detailing as your hair begins to lengthen.
The longer the hair on top, in general, the more product may be required for you to keep things staying up. This is a style that probably requires a little bit of maintenance, but only to keep it staying upright. Otherwise, the long length of the hair and the lack of definite lines make it an easy-breezy cut to maintain.
