my hair it's half as long nor half as much as you're but all i do is:
1- shower and wash like normal (i stop using conditioner when i put my hawk in just didn't seam like my hair really needed it)
2- towel dry until only slightly damp
3- add spiking glue or when it's longer knox
4- blow dry completely hanging my head upside down and using my hands and comb to keep my hair straight (a talent which can only be learned by doing it but easy once you get the hang of it)
everything on my hawk i've done totally by myself from putting it in to up keep. i'm sure it's much easier having help and also having someone around who knows anything at all about what they're doing. good luck!

just cause you can't do it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I posted pictures of what I was talking about, maybe if you looked at them before commenting you would know?

How to do the fan without any gaps.
1)Make sure that your hair isn't knotted at all meaning get a comb and comb it from base to top
2)Spray the base but making sure you don't use too much but also making sure the base is strong
3)Spray the midsection making sure that it isn't sprayed too much
4) Spray the top and if you have any gaps just comb through the hair again and spraying and blow drying
What I like to do is I bend down while combing my hair and I spray and blow dry. It also depends on what kind of hairspray you use. People say Got2Be is too strong and hardens your hair well you CAN use Got2Be but don't use too much of it. I use it for my base and then I use Aquanet hairspray and then go over it with Got2be to strengthen it.

Even though it takes a bit longer the best technique I have used to create the giant fan is to treat your hair like 3 different mohawks.

Comb down your left side and comb down your right side, leaving a solid middle mohawk.

Proceed to go through the motions of getting the middle hawk steady upright and pretty good, without necessarily worrying about the gaps. (when you try to glue gaps together you create new ones and break the architecture).

Now that you have a solid if somewhat gappy middle hawk, proceed to use the hair you have left on your left and right sides to pull up and spray into the gaps forming out your fan.

It takes awhile to do this method, but you should have a very good looking fan and architecturally strong mohawk to last for days. One of my best hawks stuck out the top of my sunroof as I drove 350 miles to grandmas house on the highway at like 70-80 mph. 2-3 minutes of spray and restoration, it was strong as an ox, good to go and stayed up for days.

This was the mohawk on day 4, complete with spring-loaded attack action.

The full 6min silly movie I did with my brothers kids is here, if you really are trying to figure out the plot of a middle schooler directed movie that ends in a 2yr old arresting a kid, only to be attacked by a giant mohawk.

This is genius. I never thought of doing the hawk like this. I technically have a giant fauxhawk since the sides aren't shaved, so the 'middle hawk' thing is even more important. I'll try it next weekend.
