The Retro Faux Hawk
For the bold and fashion-forward, the retro faux hawk offers an edgy, high-fashion aesthetic that is guaranteed to turn heads. This style plays with volume and texture, creating a striking silhouette that works exceptionally well with the natural structure of a chin-length cut. Start by sectioning off the center panel of your hair, from your hairline to the crown of your head. Secure the side sections tightly back using gel and bobby pins, keeping them as flat and sleek against your scalp as possible.
Next, focus on the center section. Apply a generous amount of volumizing mousse or root-lifting spray, and blow-dry this section upward and backward using a round brush. Once dry, use a fine-tooth comb to gently backcomb the roots to create height and drama. Smooth the top layer of hair over the teased section and sweep it backward, securing it at the crown with bobby pins. The contrast between the ultra-sleek sides and the voluminous, textured center creates a powerful, rock-chic statement that is perfect for a night out.
