While you're scratching your head wondering what a faded Mohawk even is? Well, you are NOT alone! Mohawks are an important part of rebellion, style and culture. Moreover, they are actually very similar to the feathers of larger birds, which rise when surprised, threatened or simply showing off. And while styles for men may have a little less variety, we've got plenty of impressive yet wearable Mohawks mixed with faded haircuts in store for you here. So check these out for instant inspiration!

Fade hairstyles are the absolute hit in men's haircut styles these days. For example, the elements of the fade have infiltrated other popular hairstyles for men, with Mohawks, side parts and long-over-short-side styles being the most in demand. While the classic Mohawk with shaved sides may look too extreme and inappropriate in some settings, the Mohawk-plus-fade combo is an entirely different matter. Well, you can choose a fairly conservative or quite bold and funky Mohawk with faded sides from the best examples below.

This larger, pointed, wide Mohawk extends over the entire scalp and is slightly shorter at the back. The sides are undercut rather than faded, but the short side pieces blend so seamlessly with the spikes that we can definitely call it a high fade here.

This style is better than any regular Mohawk fade because it features the racing stripes! And we all know this makes you faster! The series of lines running along the sides and down behind the ear is a cool detail that only adds to this long, dark and handsome look.
