Okay...I admit it...sometimes I'm really out of the loop on certain things. And it doesn't bother me either. This one doesn't bother me in the least. So what is it that I didn't know? What's the big deal?
That this hair style is called a "fauxhawk"
Ewan McGregor (well known for his role
as a young Obi Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars series)
Yeah...I didn't know it.
But did you know the history of the fauxhawk? I bet not...
Let me fill you in.
"The slight, sculpted crest that represents a civilized simulation of the ancient-warrior, punk-rock Mohawk speaks volumes about the wearer, who demonstrably straddles the fence between conformity and nonconformity: I'm a team player with an unrepentant dash of mischief. I may be rumpled, but I clean up nice.
Generally speaking, the fauxhawk represents the "safe," less severe version of the traditional Mohawk, without shaving the sides of the head or growing the top long enough to fashion Liberty spikes or the equally confrontational Roman helmet/broom-bristles affectation."
