A high fade with a strip of length down the middle. Push it up when you want the drama; it lies flat when you don't.
Tell your barber
“I'd like a faux hawk — high fade on the sides, taking it up pretty close to the top. Leave a strip of length down the middle, about two inches, so I can style it up. Keep the top textured, not too clean.”
