A profawk is a portmanteau word, blending the words "professional" and "fohawk". It is a name given to a men's hairstyle that allows the individual to wear it professionally, in a more conservative and business-like atmosphere but also allows the professional to wear it in an edgy and voguish style outside the office.
I saw a lot of guys sporting profawks at the Young Professional's Organization mixer last Thursday.

Words you can keep
A faux hawk for working professionals. A prohawk is an office-ready version of the famous faux hawk haircut. Where a faux hawk, "...resembles the mohawk when styled but can also, if desired, appear to be a conventional male haircut," the prohawk's mohawk roots are virtually undetectable during business hours but can be styled to achieve faux hawk status for recreational purposes.
Chad: Wow, I couldn't tell you had a faux hawk during work today.

Cody: I know, it's a prohawk...just put it up in the bathroom.
