FAUXHAWK buisness?

[Eve of chaos]

i think you'll want to keep some hair on the forehead.

and honestly after seeing those pics I think as long as your hair isnt a strictly femme haircut you'll do just fine with passing,

so if a fauxhawk entices you go for it haha. just dont shave it to close in case you hate it!

one of my neighbours had a daughter who got a boyfriend and they both did the Mohawk back in about 1988 when it reached our corner of the world.  It did nothing for the girl and it made the b/f into the ugliest ratface possible.

A mohawk wil draw attention so getting one will not achieve your aim of passability.

My face shape is similar to yours (and I have ridiculously thick hair too) and I can tell you 100% that shortening your sides will make your face look longer and leaner and that you should DO IT!  I've had my hair mostly short for the past 20 years so I've had some time to try a LOT of different things, including doing a fauxhawk. 

And to clear this up, a mohawk is shaved to skin on the sides and the spike is all one long length.  A fauxhaux the sides are longer and jelled down, and the top is gelled into a point.   That's the basics, anyway.

its not something that's mass produced. not real shells like this anyway.

The belt made of shells might not be mass produced, but I can assure you that few things in the world get mass produced like armaments and ammunition.  Lake City Ammunition alone ships over 1 billion small arms rounds a year to just Iraq for the military.  The number of shells produced every year between the US and USSR and China alone number in the billions.  It's estimated that over one trillion rounds were fired in WWII.  That's a lot of shell casings laying around.


And .... I'm just saying that at some point if you want people to take you seriously, particularly in a business sense, you have to look serious first.

I don't have much to say on the topic itself, other than I think you're passing great and it would be hard for a haircut to mess that up. However, Eve of Chaos - those pics are great. I've gotta say I admire punks, there was a guy in my art class who did his mohawk old-school with glue and egg whites, I thought he was fantastic. The overall vibe's just brilliant.

When I meet someone with a fauxhawk I automatically assume they are a jackass.

well yeah that much is obvious and not what I meant, its not like I'm oblivious, I really hope that your not trying to make me look stupid.

and those pictures are 3 years old. I grew out of being a street punk. but I was taken seriously at my management position with that hair and style that I was allowed to wear at work, so go figure.

O and for anyone that thinks it cant look good on a girl heres me and my girf with one. again three years ago before I questioned my gender.

Too much fauxhate hate..

LilDoberman; Thanks for clearing it up. I understand it a bit more now. I didn't know getting the sides shorter would make my face more leaner? My mum always said that with short hair my face looked fatter.

Chaos; Jesus, that mohawk is even more impressive that I first though. Did you manage to keep that up with just that spray you talked about?

Also my spiking up attempt was horrid, but here it is after sleeping with it in. I can't really do it very well because it's too long and I'm clearly a moron. I can't get the sides down either, they just flop back up.

[Eve of chaos]

haha sometimes I used glue afterwards if i was gonna be really active otherwise yeah that hairspray really does the trick.

but if your gonna go for the faux you should probably figure out how to get it up before you cut it, gel will not work, not at all. you gotta do the hairspray and blow drier or you'll get clumps

I also think if you pulled it forward a bit as well as up you wouldnt need to cut it at all.
