What defines Frohawk?

A frohawk raises a central strip of coily hair above very close sides. In this reference, that strip continues over the crown toward the nape. Its rounded, coily edge and the width of the ridge are as important as the contrast with the sides.

What to look for from the front, side and back

The front shows the width of the raised center. In profile, follow that center down the back while checking how much of the area above the ear is close-cut. The rear view confirms that the longer strip stays central instead of spreading across the whole head.

What to confirm with your stylist

Show your barber how wide the center should be and whether it should continue all the way down to the nape. Discuss the shortest side length separately. Ask how the silhouette could change as the close sides grow back, using the profile as a reference.

Questions about Frohawk

Can I explore a softer version of the frohawk?

Ask about retaining more length at the sides and choosing a wider center. This preset illustrates a pronounced close-sided version, so its preview should not be read as a separate control for every taper length.
