Cut Your Hair Into a Mohawk
-
1
Part your hair evenly on both sides, sectioning off the rectangular center portion that you plan to leave long. Use hair clips to tie off the middle portion, leaving only the sides hanging down.
-
2
Have a friend or family member shave down the hair on the sides of your head using a pair of professional clippers, taking care not to cut it all the way to the scalp. Maddox typically has about 1/4 inch of remaining hair along the sides of his head. Check out Barbers and Clippers for a variety of reasonably priced Oster, Wahl and Annie International trimmer models to help you achieve his look (see Resources below).

Trim the desired amount off of your remaining hair, remembering that a longer Mohawk is more versatile, but less appropriate for formal settings (unless you're a 6-year-old Jolie-Pitt). Maddox has worn his Mohawk anywhere from 1 inch to several inches long, so pick the length that works best for you.
Style Your Mohawk

Go au naturale with your Mohawk hairstyle. Maddox's adorable do is typically achieved without gel, mouse or pomade. Just shampoo, dry and go.

To create this David Beckham-inspired style, slick back the sides of your hair with a plethora of styling gel, spiking the center, rectangular portion with gel or pomade. Note that you'll probably also need an abundance of hairspray to maintain the look for the duration of a soccer game.

Go for the Maddox "Mullhawk" look if you'd prefer to keep your hair longer in back. The morphed Mohican style pairs a spiky top with mullet-like long hair extending below the collar.
