  Mohawk hairstyle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2005, the Mohawk received a brief and small revival among the mainstream, as documented in Eric Wilson's Sep 1, 2005 article in The New York Times, "The Mohawk Becomes Cute." In it, Wilson argued that part of the revival was caused by Angelina Jolie's adopted son, Maddox Jolie.
The Mohawk hairstyle inspired the fauxhawk hairstyle, an approximation of a Mohawk made without buzzing or shaving the sides of the head.
The fauxhawk is typically worn with a small but noticeable spike in the middle, though usually considerably shorter than many traditional Mohawks.

The sides are short, but not brush, with a nice easy length while the top is roughly twice the length on the top, tapering out to back to match the length on the sides.
The distinction between this and the more recent Mohawks appears to be the ratio of sides to top, the Fauxhawk creating a much subtler effect.
Four decades of tinkering and perfection (combined with a lot of funky hair on Rap artists in the 80s) made for a lot of variation on just how the longer top moves into the short shaved sides and back.

 AskOxford: Go with the faux
A fauxhawk is an adaptation of the Mohawk (usually known in British English as the Mohican) hairstyle especially beloved of punk rockers in the 1970s.
With the Mohawk, you have to shave all your hair off apart from a central strip, which is then dyed in a garish colour.
For those too timid to adopt this style, the fauxhawk provides an easy alternative: keep your hair and just gel up a strip or tuft in the middle, enabling the fashion-conscious to look cool at weekends and more conservative during working hours.
