How to Gel Your Hair Into a Mini Mohawk

For extra rock value, add color streaks to your mohawk.

Mohawks are a trendy hair style, often associated with rock stars or hipsters. It is easy to accomplish at home with the aid of hair spray and hair gel. Short hair works best, as it will be easier to slick less hair back into the mohawk. Creating a mohawk with medium to long hair is possible, but it will require ample amounts of hair gel. In order to have a "mini mohawk" you will need short hair to work with.

Things You'll Need

• Extra hold hair gel
• Extra hold hair spray

Instructions

1. Begin with clean, damp hair. Damp hair is easier to work with as it will take shape better than dry hair.

2. Brush your hair straight back and then push the two sides of the hair together, creating the overall shape of the mohawk. Spray your entire head with hair spray and push the hair again into the mohawk shape. Add plenty of hair gel and reshape into a mohawk until it begins to hold its shape.

3. Once you are satisfied with the look of your mini mohawk, secure with extra hair spray.
