The Feminine Faux Hawk

September 21, 2013

When it comes to hairstyles, there are few that encompass ‘fun and fearless’ like the iconic faux hawk! But don’t let it’s badass reputation fool you! This style is simple to soften up and with a few tweaks you can even give it a glam edge! Follow the steps below to try it out!

1. Start with detangled hair and take a section of hair from the crown of your head and heavily tease it.
2. Gather a section on the side of your head and, using a bobby pin, secure it tightly in place.
3. Repeat step 2 on the other side of your head.
4. Once both sides of your hair have been pinned in place, ‘fluff’ your hair until you have tons of volume!
5. Voila!

There you have it! This style is super versatile as well! Try it with straight hair like I did, or even try it with loose waves to soften the over all look! Whatever variation you choose, this will easily become a go-to look this fall!
