Punk out your Look with a Men’s Fanned Mohawk

Men’s fanned Mohawk hairstyles may look difficult to maintain, but they are well worth the effort. A Mohawk creates a distinctive style that is hard to ignore. If you want your look to be unique or aspire to join the punk crowd, a men’s fanned Mohawk is the way to go.

Men’s fanned Mohawk hairstyles are based on the coiffure the Native American tribe bearing the same name. This style was also found on medieval Polish noblemen and prehistoric Celtic tribes. A fanned Mohawk is the most common style of Mohawk. To achieve a men’s fanned Mohawk, you first need to shave both sides of your head, leaving an approximately two inch strip on unshaved hair in the middle. That unshaven strip should be allowed to grow out as long as possible. One of the biggest maintenance challenges of a men’s fanned Mohawk is keeping the sides of your head razored down to a buzz cut while still keeping the line between hair lengths smooth and distinct.

Once your hair has reached sufficient length, you need to style it is a spiky, vertical manner. Men’s fanned Mohawks should extend in a straight line from your forehead to the nape of your neck. Your hair should stick out from your head at a 90 degree angle. The strands can either be separated to create a look reminiscent of Roman centurion’s helmet or they can be clumped together in distinctive spikes. As your men’s fanned Mohawk reaches towering heights, you will need to use a lot of product to keep your look together.
