Best Mohawk Fade Haircuts

1. Burst Fade Mohawk

This haircut provides the uniqueness and stylishness you desire, showing off your thick locks. The haircut curves around the ear and drops at the back of the head. It does not continue down the neck; instead, it is left longer at the ears and drops down to the neck.

2. Short Mohawk Fade

Hoping to look all professional, with a clean, marginal, and fresh haircut, this would suit you best. It is just like the traditional punk style, although the hair at the top is spiked vertically. It is also mixed with a mid-fade, which makes it looks modern. For variety’s sake, you can decide to add one or two designs to it. It would interest you to know that it is a low-cost maintenance hairdo.

3. Taper Fade Mohawk

This is another punk haircut that is done by gradually tapering the sides. Depending on your choice, the Mohawk can be either left mid or high. Depending on your interest, the nice mix of the fade and the Mohawk can make for a good professional look.

4. Curly Mohawk Fade

The Mohawk fade even suits curly hair more. You can pick temple fade or burst fade for the sides while a curly hair mound sits in the middle of the head. You can style further with a beard or a hairline. The curl can also be rolled up to give you a modern summer style.

6. Low Fade Mohawk

This one starts around the temple, thereby leaving a lot of hair on the top. It is sort of a stylish but subtle look.

The hair makes up for what would be called a mature haircut, with neatly dressed and full men’s hair. This will make your hair not look over the top on most days.

7. High Fade Mohawk

This creates a very short haircut on the back and the sides, almost similar to an edgy style. The tapering begins very high on the head and later shortens faster than low or mid fade. The tapered below would make the hair at the center more pronounced. It is modern and fashionable, making it the most popular version of the Mohawk haircut.

8. Mohawk Skin Fade

The tapering, in this case, can be high or low, but the Mohawk is short. Keep the Mohawk short and start the fade high for a bolder look. An alternative, still within the borders of skin fade, is to make the fade low at first and make it short later on. This would make your facial features more pronounced, like that of models, and with that, you are set for that cool photoshoot!

9. Black Mohawk Fade

This is the usual mohawk haircut – it can be cut low, medium, or high to give a very cool look. The hair length is shortened gradually, showing the fade effect and leaving a noticeable hair on the top of the head, which gradually reduces in length as it gets closer to the neck.

10. Drop Fade Mohawk

12. V Fade Mohawk

It can go with a high fade or Topknot Mohawk. This style shows the dexterity of the barber as the hair on top could be styled in a topknot or as you please, but the trick lies in making the fade into a stylish v-shaped razor fade. The hair could be spiked to give it a finished look, and maybe you can add a little bit of color. The V shape should be clearly emphasized by the two distinguishing parts on both sides of the high top.

13. Mid Fade Mohawk

This mohawk haircut with a mid-fade is fashionable and medium, not too conservative, and not too daring. It starts halfway up the sides of the head and gives a softer and more gradual fade that makes it look classy.
