Mohawks are a brave and bold hairstyle that was once typically worn only by men. Not any more though; these days, just as many girls are sporting funky, fabulous Mohawk hairstyles.
The Mohawk, also known in some places as the Mohican is a hairstyle where you typically shave either side of the head and leave a strip of longer hair in the middle. Often, the hair left in the middle will be spiked and colored.
As with any good hairstyle, there are many variations to the Mohawk. The dreadhawk for example, is a Mohawk where the hair is dreadlocked instead of containing upward spikes.
The style of the hair is actually rather diverse and can be worn up like liberty spikes depending on the length of dreads. It can also be braided, or pulled back.
The Chelsea-Hawk is the style of Mohawk most often worn by girls. This style is virtually the same as a traditional Mohawk but bangs are left in the front to frame the face.

A Mohawk hairstyle for women and girls is about being creative, expressing yourself, and having fun. Some girls love to boost the look of their Mohawks by using hair dyes.
Along with the daily styling, maintaining the color of your Mohawk can be somewhat high maintenance. This is especially true in styles where the color is an essential part of the style. However, the work that goes into styling your Mohawk is worth every second!
