South of France Haircut

Also known as a burst fade mohawk, the South of France haircut is a modified and modern take on the classic mohawk. Fading at the sides helps to blend the shorter sections with longer hair on top, while exactly how big these faded sections are is up to personal choice. Although the South of France is generally a shorter haircut, you can also go for a more dramatic look by keeping your hair longer on top. Compared to a standard mohawk, a South of France typically features a wider section of longer hair, making this haircut generally more work appropriate.

Depending on how long your hair is, the South of France haircut can be super easy to style. A low fade look may require no styling time at all, while styles that are a big longer on top can get added texture with a twist or sponge curl method.

If you’ve got a set of clippers at home you can maintain your shape for longer.
