faux horn

a hairstyle that occurs when a faux hawk goes wrong, and instead of imitating a mohawk, it ends up more reminiscent of a horn, giving the wearer the appearance of a unicorn.
unfortunately common among adolescent males, this is usually accidental, but can occasionally be created for humorous purposes.
