The Afro Faux hawk haircut is edgy, strong, and regarded as one of the best haircuts for black males. Faux hawk haircuts, also known as a Mohawk, are available in a variety of cuts, styles, and lengths. The Faux hawk fade, unlike the original Mohawk with shaved sides, has tapered sides that make it suitable for everyday use. Some guys prefer to pair their short, medium, or long black hair on top with an afro or dreads.
