Begin by shaving or cutting the sides of your head very short, leaving a strip of longer hair in the center. This creates the distinct Mohawk look.
Take a generous amount of strong-hold gel or wax and work it into the longer hair, ensuring even distribution for optimal hold and texture.
Using your fingers or a comb, spike the center strip of hair upwards. For a sharper look, pull the hair into points or peaks as you style.
To add extra height and hold, use a blow dryer on medium heat while styling the hair upwards. This helps set the shape and adds volume.
Finish by applying a layer of hairspray to keep your Mohawk in place throughout the day. This adds extra hold and helps maintain the spiked effect.
Try different variations of the Mohawk, such as a more subtle fauxhawk or adding color for a bold statement. Play around to find your unique style.
Keep your Mohawk looking sharp by regularly trimming the sides and refreshing the longer hair with styling products. Consistent maintenance ensures a polished look.
