Mohawk Hairstyles And Haircuts Still In Styles

Mohawk Hair Cuts are back, once again the heads of Punk Mohawk Girls and Mohawk Boys display fins of extreme color dyes.

Nothing is new; everything is re-hashed in this world's cultures. We've all seen the re-appearance of the bellbottom pants in the 90s. Then those goofy over-sized sunglasses becoming trendy again. Even Dreadlocks have become popular with teens and young adults...
Fashion is one of the most re-hashed aspects of our culture.

Derived from the Native American Mohegan’s tribe, Mohawks started in the 60s, were popular in the 70s and 80s, then went through slight relapse in the 90s. Recent pop-punk/rock/emo bands, like ‘The All American Rejects’, ‘Fall Out Boy’, ‘New Found Glory’ and ‘Good Charlotte’, have been known to use the punk Mohawk hairdo. Teens today maintain respect for the legacy bands of the 60s, 70, and 80s, bringing even more fashion trends out of the past’s attic. Take a look into former impacting music groups like Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Ramones or The Sex Pistols and you’ll see not only their effects on rock music, but on modern day fashion. Mohawk spiked and bladed rebel hair is bathing yet another teen generation.

While Mohawk haircuts are still far from formally accepted in society, you can see the social accepted influence in the business world. Bold ‘Mohegan’ teens however are readily labeled as Punks, and tend to be discriminated amongst in most professional worlds. Punks are seen as menaces to the public, extremists, hardcore rebels, the kind of people that you’re afraid to encounter at night, next to the real menaces like gangsters.

Re-hashed, but to some extent this generation’s take on it is drastically different. Technology’s advancements in hair gels and dyes give modern Mohawk hairstyles more potential and creative control. There are many different types of radical Mohawks now that didn’t exist before. Such as the Braidhawk, Crohawk and the Dreadhawk, that put a fanning flair on their 80s predecessors.

Once a trend hits culture, it leaves its mark, however small it maybe. The influence of the Mohawk hairstyle is seen in countless fashion trends throughout the world and web. Fan sites are found scattered here and there, including the Mohawk HairStyle Community at MohawkorNot.com which allows you to upload your latest implementation and attempts, so that other fans can rate it. Question is, how long will it stay around this time?

Mohawk Hair styles

Braided Mohawk hairstyles are going to be hot this year. Now is the time to have fun with your hair because there is so much diversity in the way people dress and wear their hair. In the nineteen eighties, the new Mohawk hairstyles often caused a stir, particularly those styles that were colored green or pink. Today’s take on the Mohawk hairstyle is a little different from those we saw twenty years ago. Mohawk refers to the Mohawk Native American Indians who were thought to be cannibals by some – the name Mohawk means man eater.

The classic Mohawk where the head is shaved, a strip of hair is left down the middle will be seen around. There are many variations on the Mohawk as with any durable style. The style was originally a man only style but this changed in the 1980s. Now we see members of both sexes wearing dreadlocked and braided Mohawk hairstyles. The braided Mohawk was a dubbed a warrior goddess hairstyle during the recent Dior fashion show – models could be seen wearing different representations of the braided Mohawk.

You may need to visit a salon to get the style right as it is quite awkward to do. If you do want to have a go then make sure you first use products that will make your hair manageable. The style is achieved by sectioning the hair into small pieces across the crown, the hair is then wrapped in thread and the remaining hair at the end of the thread is braided. Each braided section is then connected to each other, forming a long braided section at the top of the wrapped pieces. The wrapped braids began right at the front of the crown and continued back to the nape. Any leftover hair is then braided and looped.

How high you get your braided section depends on how much hair you have, this is the look that people are calling the braided Mohawk hairstyle.
