How to Do Faux Hawk for Little Boys

Step 1: Make sure your child is super still once getting this haircut. Although it is super easy to achieve, as well as quick to do, our little ones can become super impatient after sitting in that chair for longer than 5 minutes.

Step 2: Go for a sleek fade on the sides, you can even settle for a sidecut, or any other bolder detail. Also, you can do some temporary highlights as long as your boy isn’t afraid of them. Once cut and defined on the sides, make sure you focus on the top part.

Step 3: Leave the top as natural as possible. If your child has a lot of hair and they are not afraid of hair gel or hairspray let their hair grow out long! Style the top by combing it through, and decorate and style a sleek hawk by doing upward teasing motions.

Step 4: Wash their hair often (especially if it has been styled with some hair gel, hair wax, or hairspray), or tie it into a small ponytail if you are short on time. Use natural, sulfate and paraben free shampoos, as well as any hair styling products which are made for sensitive skin.
