Hawk coming up?

Hey guys!

I'ts been in my head for quite a while now,

and i'm in doubt... hawk or not??

Cause i want it but i don't know if it'll suit me and how will the reactions be?

And does anybody have any tips when it comes to getting

and maintain a mohawk? Do i need to shave it often, should i color it,

how do i keep it up?

I'm quite a mohawk-noob, i know ;p

greetz

O.D.

Shave the sides one or two times a week depending on how long you want it you could leave it longer, hair spray and a hairdryer are best for putting it up :3 .mine was over seven inches when I first got it so when I wore it up I got crazy stares, but most peolpe said it was beautiful or awesome and stuff, my old re teacher said it was agressive but kinda warmed to it, might make getting a job more difficult depending on the style and field. Go crazy with the colours and do what you want if it goes wrong it still ends up great anyway and if you find you dont like it get a skin head and grow your hair out, hope that was helpful in any way :)

certainly helpful!

Love ur hawk btw :) I'll have to wait some time to achieve that 7 inch! because i've shaved my hair in some kind of hipster haircut so top of my head is very long and sides are much shorter!

How much time do u use for putting it up? and should i shave it myself or at a barbershop?

If u do it yourself have someone there to check the back, but if u dont feel comfortable doing it yourself go to the hairdressers, and I havent yet mastered putting up my mohawk and take an hour to fan it, the first and only time I tried liberty spikes it took three hours and I didnt manage to fix it the way I wanted to but have found a quicker way to do it now :3 when you shave the sides after its cut it is easier to do it yourself cause its cheeper and saves time also if you plan on putting dye in your hair it is brighter if you bleach it first :)

ok, i'll guess i visit the barbershop the first time to make sure it's good!

Still not sure if i'll dye it or not... any great color schemes? i like the blue! :)

and what about shaving figures in the sides?

Btw: how is you're mohawk when it's down? is it really awkward or is it ok?

Damned, i've got too many questions!

yeah I had lots of questions too :3 any bright colours with black, or black and bleached looks cool, im planning on shaving a love heart on one side and the batman symbol on the other lol would do them one after the other but friends want both, im not sure how il do them but just shave something easier first then see how it goes :) and down its fine I can tie it up or whatever but at first it annoyed me cause it wouldnt sit straight down the centre cause of my old hair shed and now im kinda used to it

well, lots of these question's have been answered by you :)

i might dye the mohawk white/blond or blue and leave the sides in my natural color (dark blond)

and maybe let the sides being shaved in a pattern or something...

now the only thing i have to do is let my hair grow! I hate that cause i'm really inpatient and it is too long to do something nice with it!

and then i can go to the great barbershop that we've got here to shave the hawk! :)

do you have any regrets from you hawk?? and whats better a thin or a thick hawk??

Not that I can think of, but I would like to try a trihawk sometime and short hair with a shaved side, but apparently thinner hawks are easier to put up cause ther is.less hair falling all over the place :) and make it clear you want it the same thickness all down and all the same length, cause im sure the back is thinner and longer on mine so I meed to fix it
