To cut a faux hawk, you need your kid to grow his or her hair several inches long. Then follow these steps:
Take a clipper with a zero attachment and buzz the hair on the sides, flipping it up once your reach the parietal ridge.
Leaving a wide section of hair in the back intact, blend the sides into it. You can make it either straight or tapered, depending on your preferences.
Spritz the hair on top with water to make it a bit damp. Then, comb it all up.
Using the scissor over finger hair cutting technique, cut the hair on the back.
Push the hair on top to the center and cut the crest from the front to the back. Give it a textured finish with the help of thinning shears.
Blend the top into the sides for a seamless transition using the scissor over comb technique.
Take a T edger and define the outline of the haircut.
