Mohawk Fauxhawk: The Kid’s Mohawk
Hello, I am an 11 year old kid trying to get a Mohawk but my hairs long and
every time I try and put it in a Mohawk it flops, any tips on it?

A: A lot of work is required for a big long Mohawk to stand up straight, especially if you’re 11 years old. Youthful hair is generally softer and silkier, thus being more difficult to make it stand up as a Mohawk if it’s long. Also, being a kid trying to get a Mohawk, I will assume that you won’t shave the rest of your hair, but maintaining all of it while making the middle strip stand up. This is called a Mohawk Fauxhawk, or simply Fauxhawk.
It’s relatively easier to achieve than a normal Mohawk but still needs its work.
You first want to imagine the Fauxhawk on your head, so pull up your hair and imagine how it would look like when it’s done; you have to visualize it. Here is were you have to decide, whether to keep your hair longer all around or trim it a little bit to achieve the fashionable look of a Fauxhawk.
A perfect Fauxhawk is done by cutting the sides of the middle strip a little to make it shorter and let the middle pop out, then you just have to apply a lot of hairspray and immediately bow-dry the section in which you applied the hairspray. This will make your hair dry up quickly and stick out in a very spiky manner. David Beckham uses this style a lot so you may know how it looks like.
If you want to keep all of your hair long then you’re going to have to apply even more hairspray on you hair and last longer blow-drying it. If you want to make it strong try using gel before applying any hairspray and while your hair isn’t wet or damp. Then dry your hair after applying the gel.
If you really want a punk Mohawk send me another email and I will dedicate another posting to it. Thank you.
