A mohawk, but instead of a "real" mohawk where you shave the sides of your head, you just glue up the middle part of your regular hair so that it is in the style of the mohawk.
"There was a punk show tonight, but I didn't want to shave the sides of my head so I just made my hair into a fauxhawk."

A toned-down version of the famous mohawk haircut, in which the sides of the head are shaved and a central strip of hair is made to stand up. The faux hawk resembles the mohawk when styled but can also, if desired, appear to be a conventional male haircut.

a haircut in which the wearer, rather then shave off the sides of his head for a real mo-hawk, merely gels up a portion of hair in the middle. not everyone can wear it and look good. but if you do it tends to look very cool
last night we put some eyeliner on patrick and gave him a faux-hawk. he looked emo, but very adorable.

A wanabe mohawk. Fauxhawks have the spiked hair at the centerline of the head, but the hair to the sides are not buzzed off. They are also usually considerably shorter than a mohawk.
Jimmy's mom said he would be grounded for life if he got a mohawk, so he settled for a fauxhawk instead.
