Instructions

    • 1

      Wash or wet the hair that will be styled into a Mohawk. Towel dry the hair, to get rid of excess water.

    • 2

      Use the comb to part and section out the hair designated for styling. Comb the hair thoroughly to remove any tangles.

    • 3

      Apply the sculpting wax or pomade to the hair, if you are choosing to use these products.

    • 4

      Gather a large section of the hair, combing upward. Make sure to keep a good hold of it with the other hand, so it will stay up.

    • 5

      Spray the section of hair liberally with the extra hold hairspray, taking care to get all sides.

    • 6

      Blow dry the section of hair while continuing to hold it up with the other hand.

    • 7

      Make sure that the hair iron is heated at its highest level.

    • 8

      Clamp the section of hair with the flat iron and move it upward from scalp to tip. There should be a fair amount of sizzling as the hot iron comes into contact with the styling products.

    • 9

      Continue spraying and ironing until the section of hair stands on its own.

    • 10

      Repeat these steps for the rest of the hair sections until you have a complete, charged Mohawk.
