If you\u2019d describe yourself as edgy and your day job sees you heading to a studio rather than an office, a mohawk may be the perfect hairstyle for you. Long favoured by punks and rockers, this daring hairdo is bold and unique. Although the style has come a long way since its inception, it\u2019s still a fantastic choice for gents looking to do things a little differently than the masses.<\/p>\n

What is a Mohawk?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A mohawk is a punk-inspired hairstyle that\u2019s often preferred by gents with a rebellious attitude. Its unique appearance features a dramatic contrast between two sections of hair of different lengths. The sides of a mohawk are shaved\u00a0and very short while a strip, running from the hairline to the back of the head is left long on top. While this section of hair is often spiked\u00a0up for an eye-catching appearance, it can be styled in many ways.<\/p>\n

\"What\n

Mohawk vs. Faux Hawk<\/span><\/h2>\n

Faux hawks<\/a> were designed to recreate\u00a0the style of the mohawk\u00a0but with less intensity and shock factor. Although this less dramatic take still has a contrast between short sides and a long top, it\u2019s a much more subtle difference than that of an actual mohawk. The top is usually shorter than that of mohawks and gently fades into the clipped sides. While the style is a great option for gents who must conform to office dress standards or aren\u2019t quite ready for a full mohawk, it doesn\u2019t have the same incredible impact as the real deal.<\/p>\n

\"Mohawk-vs-Faux-Hawk\"\n

Popular Mohawk Hairstyles<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Taper Fade\u00a0Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

This stylish mohawk is longest in the middle of the forehead at the hairline. From that point, it tapers and fades into shaved sides<\/a> and back.<\/p>\n

\"Taper-Fade-Design\"\n

2. Mohawk for Short Black Hair<\/span><\/h3>\n

A black mohawk creates the most striking and edgy appearance against shin-shaved sides. With a contrast this bold, your hair doesn\u2019t even need to be long to create a standout style.<\/p>\n

\"Mohawk\n

3. Sophisticated Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

Gents of all ages can rock a mohawk, particularly when it\u2019s a sophisticated version, such as this one.<\/p>\n

\"Sophisticated\n

4. Braided Mohawk with Shaved Sides<\/span><\/h3>\n

This stylish, modern mohawk includes a braid. Used to separate the long hair on top from the shaved side, it adds a unique and attention-grabbing feature to this sleek and sophisticated style.<\/p>\n

\"Braided\n

5. Classy Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although mohawks are associated with punks and rebels, it is possible to create a classy mohawk. All it takes is some simple styling to neatly secure the top section of hair back while maintaining some texture.<\/p>\n

\"Classy\n

6. Thick Mohawk with Fade<\/span><\/h3>\n

While thin hair can often appear limp in a mohawk style, thick hair looks bold and can easily be sculpted into the right shape.<\/p>\n

\"Thick\n

7. Big Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although most of the\u00a0mohawks of today tend to be more subdued, there\u2019s always room for a big and bold style. Just be sure to use the right products to keep hair up without making your mohawk look rock hard or crunchy.<\/p>\n

\"Big\n

This tall and wide mohawk creates a strong contrast without resorting to ultra-short, shaved sides.<\/p>\n

\"High\n

9. Half Mohawk Fade<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Half\n

10. High Fade Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

A high fade<\/a> is a great way to soften and modernise the appearance of a mohawk. Although the look is still unique and exciting, its intensity is reduced to make the style easier to wear.<\/p>\n

\"High\n

11. Short Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

This classic and short mohawk is clean and sharp. At the back, it tapers shorter to eventually blend in with the rest of the side and back strands.<\/p>\n

\"Short\n

12. Long Hair Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

Long-haired<\/a> gents can also rock a mohawk. The extra length on top only serves to add a cool, rocker vibe to the style.<\/p>\n

\"Long\n

13. Low Fade Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

This low fade<\/a> mohawk features shaved sides that gradually transition in length. Although the look is quite different to a traditional mohawk, its essence and feel are the same.<\/p>\n

14. Man Bun Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

Think you can\u2019t rock a man bun with a mohawk? Think again. This gent proves that the look can work, as long as you have the confidence to pull it off.<\/p>\n

16. Buzzcut Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

With sides cut right\u00a0down to the skin, even the shortest of mohawks can have a large impact. This buzzcut style<\/a> is one such example and immediately draws eyes to its longer (but still short) middle strip of hair.<\/p>\n

\"Buzzcut\n

17. Curly Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

The curly mohawk is a fantastic new take on this classic trend. The light and bouncy texture of the curls\u00a0creates\u00a0a much softer and modern look.<\/p>\n

18. Short Mohawk with Fade<\/span><\/h3>\n

A short mohawk with faded sides is an excellent way to test out the mohawk style without drastically changing the length of your hair.<\/p>\n

If, after shaving your hair into a mohawk, you\u2019re still craving more edge, try adding some unique stripes to the sides.<\/p>\n

20. Afro Mohawk<\/span><\/h3>\n

The high volume of an afro combined with short, shaved sides creates an impactful and eye-catching,\u00a0mohawk. This particular afro mohawk also includes a unique star design to add further boldness to the look.<\/p>\n

By using pomade and a comb, this gent was able to create a sleek and sophisticated mohawk hairstyle.<\/p>\n

A tapered mohawk can also work well for styles with a slightly longer back and sides.<\/p>\n
