Men's Hairstyles - Does The Hawk Fly Again?

By , About.com Guide

By Antonio Gonzales, stylist at Orlo Salon in New York City

Living in New York City I find myself amazed by how fast trends come, get chewed up by every day New Yorkers and then spit out as something totally new. I have been keeping a close eye on recent men's hair trends. One trend is short sides and longer tops (a faux-hawk of sorts) which was a hit on the runways and now on the street. There are so many versions of this style that I found myself walking down Broadway in Soho just to see how the style has been reinterpreted. For a certain group of young men it seems to be time for the Mohawk to make a come-back, but not the 10 inch tall Mohawks of the punk era or the one worn by today's Goth followers. This is a refined version that has embraced my many ethnic backgrounds as well as others. What I find really interesting is the men who are now sporting the Mohawk (and faux-hawks) are not the type that would normally wear them. In other words, you can even be a professional type of person and sport an edgy hairstyle, at least inhttp://hairbyantonio.blogspot.com/ New York.
