Craving a haircut to enhance your black, dense hair? Here’s the mohawk burst fade to satisfy your thirst!

We have more of a wider section through the top and the back versus the skinny hawk.”
Joseph recommends touching up the sides every two weeks, no more than a month. The top and back maintain the length you want and get that V or square shape in the back.

Are you ready to amp up your look? Unlike a regular ‘hawk, a men’s mohawk fade is an edgy cut with shaved sides and a strip of hair from the top to the nape area. Its fade can be high, mid, low, or what they call a burst fade.
JP The Barber from New Bedford, MA, shares his knowledge about the faded mohawk haircut with us. He notes, “For men who want to try it, his golden rule is to grow an even amount of hair on both the top and back of the head. It makes the form of the cut much more visible.”
For the upkeep, JP suggests getting a regular trim, so it stays fresh. “It’d be great to maintain if you keep a routine of getting a trim every week or, at the most, every two weeks,” he says.
Another way to preserve its fresh-looking outcome is to use good hair products when styling. JP recommends the Marmara Barber waxes or the new L3vel 3 dust pomade powder, so the hair on top can be styled.
