  • Question
    Can I do a Mohawk with medium-long hair?

    Yes a Mohawk can be made with hair of every length. If your hair is longer, it will be more difficult, take longer and you will need to use more product, but it is possible.
  • Question
    Are there any tricks for longer hair for a mohawk, if I don't want to shave the sides? What can I do with that hair on the side? Or would liberty spikes be better?
    Community Answer
    You can definitely do liberty spikes, but you can also do a mohawk. You can just take the hair on the sides of your head and french-braid it to your head in one or multiple braids. Make the braids tight, then it will almost look like your hair is shaved.
  • Question
    How do I stand up shoulder length hair?
    Community Answer
    Doing a couple of spikes along the strip of hair is far easier than the full Mohawk. This gives you good practice to eventually work up to the full Mohawk. Make sure you tease a lot and it should be fine. Focus on the bases of the spikes/hawk more so than usual because it won’t stand if the proper foundation isn't there. Also, while you have the hair up, watch for doorways (the Mohawk’s mortal enemy).

    Community Answer
    That depends on the school. A school I used to go to wouldn’t care at all, then I switched to a charter school with a strict dress code. They won’t allow dyed hair, or any out of ordinary hairstyle, so I wore my Mohawk down without product or spikes in school, although I did get away with the color.
