Mohawks to try on your own photo

A strip of length down the middle, short sides.

Overview

A mohawk keeps a strip of longer hair running from the front to the back of the head, with the sides shaved or faded. The tall, spiked version became a symbol of 1970s and 80s punk, but most people asking for one today want something easier to wear: a burst fade mohawk, where the fade curves around the ear, or a faux hawk, where the sides are only shortened and the peak comes from styling. Curly and coily hair makes a great base, and a frohawk is one of the most popular versions.

Mohawk styles and who they suit

Every mohawk here is in the try-on list above.

Mohawks to try

Burst fade mohawk
The fade curves around the ear and keeps a short tail at the back; the most requested modern mohawk.
Mohawk with a mid skin fade
Clean sides and a textured strip; sharp but not extreme.
Faux hawk
Sides kept short but not shaved; the peak is styled, so it can be combed down for work.
Classic mohawk
Shaved sides and a tall spiked strip; the original punk look.
Short mohawk
A buzzed strip with faded sides; very low styling effort.
Wide textured mohawk
A broader strip with a taper; suits thick hair and round faces.
Curly mohawk
Curls on top give height without much product.
Frohawk
An afro shaped into a mohawk with faded sides; great on coily hair.
Mohawk mullet
The strip runs into a longer back; a bold mix of two cuts.

Women's mohawks

Braided mohawk
Braids gathered into a raised strip down the middle; no shaving needed.
Soft faux hawk
A short pixie styled up through the centre with tapered sides.
Natural curly mohawk
Natural curls on top with shaved or faded sides.

Mohawk mistakes to avoid

•A wide strip on fine or thin hair, which shows the scalp; keep the strip narrow
•Tall spikes if your work has a strict dress code; a faux hawk can be combed down
•A strip that is off-centre or uneven; ask your barber to line it up with your nose
•Letting faded sides grow for weeks; skin and burst fades need a clean-up every 1 to 2 weeks
•Heavy gel on curly hair, which makes it crunchy; use curl cream or mousse
