The burst fade mohawk is bold, sharp, and totally in. Whether you like it wild or clean, these styles bring the heat.
Check out these 25 looks and find your next cut.
1. Full Volume Burst Mohawk
Thick, lifted top hair with a clean burst fade around the ears—this one’s all about contrast and shape. The back flows into a longer tail for that true mohawk finish.
Pro Tip: Blow-dry with your fingers for more natural lift.
2. Slick Burst Mohawk
This burst fade mohawk has a slick, shiny top with short sides that fade perfectly around the ear. It’s neat but still edgy.
Pro Tip: Use a strong-hold pomade to keep it in place all day.
3. Sharp Spiked Burst Mohawk
Spiky texture runs through the center while the burst fade adds sharp contrast. Paired with a clean beard, this look is on point.
Pro Tip: Edge up your beard to match the fade for a cleaner look.
4. Curly Burst Fade Mohawk
Loose curls trail down the center, giving the mohawk a wavy, wild style. The burst fade tightens it all up on the sides.
Pro Tip: Scrunch in curl cream to keep waves defined but soft.
5. Short Textured Burst Fade
A toned-down mohawk with short, choppy layers and a smooth burst fade. Still mohawk, but way more chill.
Pro Tip: Great for beginners—use dry texture spray for a messier look.
6. Cropped Burst Mohawk with Beard
Straight cut fringe, clean burst fade, and a chunky mohawk back—this one means business. The thick beard ties it all together.
Pro Tip: Keep the beard lined up tight to balance the bold top.
7. Clean Buzzed Burst Mohawk
This one keeps it tight with a short, buzzed mohawk and a clean burst fade that blends just right. It’s low-maintenance but still sharp.
Pro Tip: Ask your barber for a line-up to keep the front edge looking fresh.
8. Curly Burst with Beard Fade
Soft curls give the mohawk some personality, while the burst fade and beard line-up keep it clean and balanced.
Pro Tip: A curl-enhancing mousse will give this look definition without weighing it down.
9. Defined Top with Edged Sides
This style brings drama with a lifted mohawk and sharply edged burst fade. Clean lines and volume take it up a notch.
Pro Tip: Use a blow dryer and brush to lift the front—finish with hairspray to lock it in.

Pro Tip: A leave-in conditioner keeps it soft while holding the shape.
11. Spiked Edge Mohawk Fade
Short, pointy layers spike up through the center, while the burst fade wraps smoothly around the ear. Bold but tidy.
Pro Tip: Use a pea-sized amount of matte wax—less is more with spiky styles.
12. Classic Sweep Burst Fade
A fuller, brushed-forward mohawk that tapers into a clean burst fade on both sides. Great for thicker hair.
Pro Tip: A light styling cream keeps things in place while adding softness.
