I don't really know what's the cheapest or best option for hair extensions. I'm looking for something I can use daily and isn't ridiculously expensive. The only thing I know about the ones being used in the photo above is that they aren't clip-ins. Could anyone recommend a good place to get hair extensions like this or which extensions I should buy? </p> Next guy to become Mohawked?tag:www.mohawksrock.com,2019-03-08:1501994:Topic:8448312019-03-08T01:25:34.763ZVillyBillyhttps://www.mohawksrock.com/profile/VillyBilly

<p>But at the same time I was doubting about it, scared because of the possible reactions…..</p>
<p>As I've always had a 'normal' haircut, of course I am haunted by this one big question, which a lot of other guys that want to wear a Mohawk will ask themselves too: What will the people who already know me for such a long time think if I suddenly turn up Mohawked????<br/> <br/> But the Actor Josh Duhamel already did it....</p>

<p></p>
<p>Looking at all three cases, I must confess: it means changing a cool guy into a superhot one!</p>
<p>But at the same time, everybody who takes this big step already at a big distance will become an eyecatcher, standing out in the crowd with a central straight strip of dark brush-like black hair separating the two nearly smooth light-grey round halves of the skull mirroring each other...</p>

<p>So each time I again am doubting: should I submit my head to the clippers too? And if so, what kind of Mohawk should I chose? Should I have the sides of my head indeed shaved egg-bald with the razor at position zero? Have the barber even use shaving cream? How wide or narrow should the brush of hair that will be left on my skull become for a good look? How long the tail in my neck, and how should it end - tapering into a pointed V or rather cut off straight?</p>
<p>Next week I probablly will take the big step to pay a first visit to the barber for first preparations, so I am looking for advice of experience guys, who already are Mohawked and thus has passed the crucial initiationrite of this great site...</p>

<p>Hi guys! I was just looking for a bit of advice about what to do.</p>
<p>I've realised that after coming my hair, it starts to curl at the end. It's not super long, but has great hold without anything in for the most part so usually stays up without difficulty.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks on styling a mohawk properly? And also preventing or avoiding hair from curling at the end?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

I am 19, so I could. There's some kind of anger against telling me how I should look. People land cushy finance jobs and do zilch for the world and are miserable. Where here I am just trying to be me, and make my own way. People think it's okay to tell me that I'm not going places, when they are living an illusion. I'd be happy in my dream job (a chef) getting paid less than $20 an hour as long as I could be myself. I don't want to have to bullshit my way through this world, selling myself like I am a piece of merchandise. That's not living true.

My mohawk now is over a foot now and after about two years of just having it lazy and down, I want to start putting it up. Now, I haven't had a mohawk this long and havent put up a mohawk in years. Question is, how would I go about putting up my thick long ass hair? I have been thinking about shortening it a little since it curls and knots so much in the back.

<p>This week I located a very rare, historical photograph of what my own research suggests is very likely the first photo of a modern-day white man wearing a Mohawk haircut to ever appear in any nationwide publication. </p>

<p>It appeared three-quarters of a century ago in the February 2, 1942, issue of Life Magazine just two months after World War Two began with the attack on Pearl Harbor.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Because the Dartmouth Indian was the school's mascot at that time, the young Dartmouth sophomore, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Bill Abrams</strong></span>, decided to celebrate the annual Dartmouth Winter Festival by having his head shaved bald, leaving only a bristly tuft running down the middle of his scalp. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Two of his fellow sophomores, Dick Smith and Rich Morgan, snapped a photo of Abrams' shocking haircut -- and mailed it to Life Magazine's "Photos to the Editor" section. Smith and Morgan were very likely the ones who took an old-fashioned manual hair clipper to Abrams' head and finished it with a razor. And history was made.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The fact that the editors found the photograph shocking enough and unusual enough to feature it prominently in their "Pictures to the Editor" section suggests that it was a sight that readers had never seen before anywhere -- an Indian scalp lock carved into the otherwise shaven head of a white man. (Nice Mohawk, by the way.)</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have never been able to find any earlier photograph of a white man wearing a Mohawk in any nationally distributed publication.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It was a shocking enough sight that it obviously caught the attention of young men all over America . . . who loved the daring new look . . . even if few if any of them had the balls to copy the radical look at that early date. I have talked with guys who remember seeing that photo when it first came out, and they have told me they were stunned -- and absolutely fascinated -- by the daring look.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Note that in 1942 when the Life Magazine photo came out, the shaven haircut wasn't yet known as a Mohawk, although by war's end some World War Two news accounts referred to it as a "Mohican" haircut (the English still call it that). .</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653861280?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653861280?profile=original" width="269" class="align-right"/></a>However it was a subsequent, much more famous photograph, two years later, that did a great deal more to popularize the daring Mohawk look -- especially among American soldiers. It happened when the Army newspaper "Stars and Stripes" printed an eye-catching photo of 13 Mohawked U.S. paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division -- wearing scalp locks and Indian war paint -- preparing for their combat jump behind Nazi lines in the pre-dawn hours before the June 6, 1944, D-DAY Invasion.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The combat Mohawks -- designed to frighten the Nazis, improve camouflage, to be more sanitary among dead bodies on the battlefield, and to inspire esprit de corps -- were suggested to his fellow paratroopers by the 23-year-old soldier in the foreground in this photo. He was Sergeant Jake McNiece, a genuine American war hero who died in 2013 at the age of 94. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Many of the 13 Mohawked men on that suicide mission were killed or captured. McNiece spent 30 days behind Nazi lines and received the French Legion of Honor.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653864999?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653864999?profile=original" width="289" class="align-left"/></a>Here's another historic photo of the Mohawked McNiece preparing for the D-Day jump. McNiece said the idea for the combat Mohawks for the D-Day parachute jump was suggested by his mother, who was part Choctaw. She probably figured it matched the famous war cry of "Geronimo" that the paratroopers for the past year had been yelling every time they leaped from the old C-47 troop planes. </p>
<p></p>
<p>But in those pre-television days, most Americans read Life Magazine. So Jake and his mother very likely had seen that earlier Life Magazine photo of the young Dartmouth student with his head shaved into a Mohawk. So I strongly suspect it was the Dartmouth photo in Life that originally gave the idea to Jake and his mom.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Here's the actual "Stars and Stripes" photo of Mohawked paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division -- the famous photo seen around the world -- that initially triggered the exploding popularity of that radical haircut.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Nine months later, American paratroopers belonging to a different unit, the now defunct 17th Airborne Division -- having seen that famous "Stars and Stripes" photo and admired the haircuts -- copied the D-Day Mohawks for their own combat jump across the Rhine River into Nazi Germany on March 23, 1945. Here's a historic shot of a group of Mohawked 17th Division paratroopers being briefed for that Rhine River jump.</p>

<p></p>
<p>So by the time the end of the war arrived in August 1945, numerous newspaper and magazine photos of Mohawked American paratroopers had turned that shocking haircut into an indelible symbol of macho masculinity -- the symbol of an American fighting man.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653866516?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653866516?profile=original" width="328" class="align-right"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>And when peace came, high school and college football teams began copying those paratrooper Mohawks as a symbol of team spirit and as a team bonding ritual -- followed in later years by professional football players.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here's Shane Skov of the Stanford University team -- who later joined the San Francisco 49ers..</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>I said the Mohawked Dartmouth College sophomore in the February 2, 1942, issue of Life Magazine was probably the first <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>"modern"</em></span></strong> white man to ever be depicted wearing a Mohawk in a nationwide publication. But I qualify that statement by adding the word <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">"modern"</span></em></strong> white man. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Actually, the very first white man to ever get Mohawked happened 238 years ago, and his name will amaze you. .Are you sitting down for this? </p>

<p>It was the famous early-American frontier explorer, Daniel Boone. You've always seen Boone depicted wearing a coonskin cap. But, believe it or not, the American Indians once forced him to submit to a Mohawk haircut, and he actually wore it for several months during his Indian captivity. Here's how a Classics Comics back in the late 1930s or early 1940s depicted Boone's historic Mohawk.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It happened to Boone in 1778 during the height of the American Revolution. In the wilderness area now known as Kentucky, Boone was captured by Shawnee Indians and adopted into the tribe to replace a fallen warrior. In order to be adopted, he had to undergo a tough initiation. First he had to run the gauntlet. Then he had to submit to having all his hair plucked out (ouch!!!) except for a bristly tuft down the middle of his scalp. Man, that's doing a Mohawk the hard way. </p>
<p></p>
<p>But then, so far as I can tell, there was apparently a century-and-a-half gap before the next white man got Mohawked -- namely that Dartmouth College student in February 1942. </p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>This is a super-abbreviated account</strong></span> of the history of the Mohawk haircut, which I have posted here merely as a way to unveil my discovery this week of that historic 1942 Life Magazine photo of what may be the very first modern-day Mohawk.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>For a much more detailed accounting of the haircut's history</strong></span> -- with more than a hundred historic photographs of military and civilian Mohawks -- , click on the two accounts below which are posted elsewhere on my personal page on the "Mohawks Rock" Website. One is the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>civilian</em></span> history of the Mohawk, and the other is the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>military</em></span> history of that haircut.

<p></p>
<p><strong>This is the amazing story that was forgotten by history for half-a-century.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>All those people who have long argued that the Mohawk is forbidden by military haircut regulations -- yes, it is -- will likely be stunned to learn how many American soldiers in World War Two, especially paratroopers, went into combat proudly sporting Mohawk haircuts . . . and how many of those brave American paratroopers died wearing Mohawks . . . or went to prisoner-of-war camps still wearing their Mohawks.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>High school principals who forbid youngsters to show up at school with Mohawks because they mistakenly believe the modern-day Mohawk was invented by punk rockers and rebellious teenagers have it shockingly backwards. Actually it turns out the modern-day version of that Indian warrior haircut was originally popularized -- long before punk rockers -- by courageous American heroes in World War Two who volunteered for a suicide mission to help save democracy. Today's Mohawked teenagers are adopting the image of genuine American heroes -- whether they realize it or not. And someone actually wants to ban that in some schools?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653866599?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2653866599?profile=original" width="260" class="align-left"/></a>Better also ban any study of American frontiersman Daniel Boone -- because you'll be astonished to learn that he too wore a real, genuine Mohawk haircut for four long months back in 1778 right after the end of the American Revolution. You picture him in his famous coonskin hat? You'd be equally correct to picture him wearing his Mohawk. </strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>In World War Two, on at least three occasions (maybe more), entire U.S. Army units happily shaved Mohawks into each others hair as they entered combat . . . thus ensuring that the Mohawk would go down in history as one enduring image of an American warrior . . . and as a powerful, eye-catching symbol of the fight for American democracy. The generals obviously knew about the haircuts -- and they obviously didn't care. They were too worried about getting the troops home safely to waste time fretting about haircut regulations in combat. </strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>You will also be astonished to see how frequently Mohawks have shown up on other American military troops in the 70 years since the end of World War Two. Read when and how it sometimes happens despite military haircut regulations. </strong></p>
