Here’s how I created this spin on the traditional mohawk!

Style Prep:
I began this style with a blow-out.
Products and Tools:
- Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter Moisturizer
- Brush Strokes Soft Boar Bristle Brush
- Rattail Comb
- Denman Large Boar Bristle Brush
- Large and/or small bob pins
- Fabric wrapped ponytail holders
You can use any combination of flexible hold butter/pudding/moisturizer and gel. Just make sure the two products will “play nice” together to avoid sticky or tacky product build-up.
Total Time:
Total time to create this updo is about eight minutes.
Keep and Care:
To preserve this style beyond one day, you can wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf and cover with a satin bonnet.
Mo, I tried this hairstyle today and it looks good! I wasn’t able to get the front to flip like you do so I just made it into another bun. I got a few compliment today. Maybe when I try it again I can get the front like you did.
Thank you! This so much better than a plain old bun.
