How to Create a Mohawk | Punk Hair Tutorial

Learn step by step how to create an 80's Punk Mohawk / Mohican
Ross Charles, award winning hairstylist goes through each step to give you guidance on how you can create this yourself. This version features 5 liberty spikes equally positioned down the centre of the head.
-
This is one of Ross' favourite styles to do bringing him back to being a teenager when he and his punk friends experimented with their hair in similar ways, laying a great foundation for his future career in hair and alternative styles.
-
The tools he used were an Andis T Outliner, a hairdryer and RC hairspray. its important to use fast drying hairspray that will solidify quickly with a hairdryer.
-
Also it's important to wash the hair thoroughly as this will give a good clean base to work on as greasy / oily or hair with old product in will impare the outcome. Ross used AlterEgo Italy Urban Proof Shampoo which give a deep cleanse and takes out pollution out of the hair at the same time. This shampoo is also vegan friendly.
-
Ross Charles produces many hair collections of his work for many magazines across the world and his work always has some elements of punk in their as it is almost hardwired into his creations.

Many Punk bands over the last 40 years have featured these hairstyles...
Like The Exploited, The Clash, The Casualties, One Way System, Chaos U.K.
There also was a great band in the 80's which wasn't really punk but had amazing punk hair.. they were called Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Very inspiring !
-
A cult film called the Taxi Driver with Robert de Nero as the lead actor sported a mohawk although it was a small strip it still qualifies !

My mans bouta do the madest gutteral

[@XneverstopfightingX]

This gives me some hope, my hair is a little bit longer than that and I have the confidence now to try to put it up in a Mohawk.

[@RossCharles]

Great, from experience the longest length you will be able to cope with yourself when doing your hawk is determined on how long your arms are. I have known people that had to trim theres at a certain point to be able to do it themselves. Alternatively get someone else to do it for you, relax and save the arm ache ! . good luck !

[@owlhengsiang6903]

I'm loving it.....it's very suitable....hope keep this tradition alive.....coz it's still my favourite.

[@RossCharles]

Glad you like it !

[@cat_loaf943]

Oh my, that looks like a weapon. Nice and scary at the same time.

[@DeaceasedDisaster222]

This was such a simple tutorial, thank you! My hair is much shorter than that but I’ve struggled to get it to stay styled all day but I haven’t tried drying the hairspray in before. Maybe that will work better for me.

[@shmungus6035]

Washable elmers glue works really good for stubborn curly hair and it doesnt damage your hair. I used it for the first time, and my hair was nice and spiky

[@tigahead]

P.S. Put your t-shirt on before styling.

[@bettyswollocks1867]

My grandpa was a punk why back when and he said cause obviously the never had hairspray or products or anything that they used to use sugar in their hair to make the mohawks

[@RossCharles]

It's very true, Imagine how sticky you would become when it would rain ! Some used to use glue too

[@yourkeel9012]

punks not dead!

[@Magical_Trash]

[@peteredwoods1470]

Awesome work dude! Could you guys show us some old school 50s greaser styles? I’d rather slick my hair than buzz it off.

[@RossCharles]

Thanks for the comment. As soon as the lockdown as finished I will be shooting more videos and that's a great suggestion thank you. Have a look at the band 'The Segregates" I do the singers hair and it might be worth you taking a look at his

[@kAzOxXx]

[@MarylinIsaacs]

[@monaliza100100]

Hey, How long did it take to create this hairstyle?

[@RossCharles]

Good question, thanks for asking. It usually takes around 45 minutes

[@costiima]

Mon mohwak est légèrement plus court que celui de la vidéo je vais essayer! Merci!!

[@Thatgirlinky]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ninab5390]

What hairspray do you use?

[@k20j_os0j]

By Use Hair Gel ?

[@andrewgates9332]

What type of hairspray did you use?

[@marcs9587]

Dude went from giving black metal face without the paint to punk 😂😂

[@fleshmunchers]

What hairdryer do you use?

[@grixxy_666]

Those are the crispiest spikes ive ever seen

[@juto8023]

a normal guy does EPIC spikes

[@aaronleech4274]

Not sure if you still reply to comments on here but what is the exact hairspray? And are there any alternatives

[@grenadiierr]

Got2b hairspray will do the trick,

[@RossCharles]

Sure, thanks for asking. here is a link to a hairspray that we use all the time for the hawks in our shop and at our shows , www.hairdressersinyork.co.uk/product/fixing-spray-hold-factor-9-250ml/ .

[@Eighth_element]

@@RossCharles do you have any retailers in the US? I love that yours in non-aerosol, and it is impossible to find good, strong non aerosol hairspray here

[@WilDBeestMF]

Gelatine.
Egg whites.
1/2 cup of warm water.
You have more chance of spikes snapping OFF than your 'hawk going lopsided.

[@Lycanris]

What was the brand of hair spray you used for this video?

[@RossCharles]

Ross Charles Fixing Spray

[@karenjohnson1589]

I thought this needed, pomade

[@RossCharles]

Pomade wouldn't hold a hawk at this length. However it would if it was much shorter

[@psilocybehaze7748]

what brand is the lacquer?

[@RossCharles]

Thank you for asking, it is RC Fixing Spray ( available in the U.K ) www.rosscharles.co.uk

[@mauritsp4420]

0:03 How to do a moheekud!😂

[@user-zt4qr7mz4f]

But how does it stay in place 🤯🤯

[@RossCharles]

It stays in place because the hairspray has been solidified. Thanks for the question

[@luffydmonkey5322]

Wath hair spray do you yous use

[@RossCharles]

Thank you for asking, RC Fixing spray was used

[@pablomadriz5375]

Does putting gell still make it stand or??

[@blitz_6666]

Not really because gel is “heavier” then hair spray

[@RossCharles]

Gel will only work on a very short mohawk , for a long mohawk you need hairspray

[@adambamf9365]

if its a war mohawk add sewing needles

[@slurpwis]

How long does this take? lol

[@aishathnashia6192]

So 😎🆒️

[@remicarnez5150]

what product do you use to make this mohawk? Skuse my english, i'm french)

[@mars4968]

got2b glued hair spray is very good, i used it and the spikes stay in place

[@remicarnez5150]

Thanks, nice job!!

How do you fucking sleep

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

You sleep when you're dead. That way you don't have to worry if your hair gets messed up or not.

[@catsanddogsarebetter1391]

Cobra Kai?

[@shanglang133]

Heard they used wood glue or egg whites to do this. Hmph.

[@fiona3821]

Why do some tease the hair

[@RossCharles]

Are you referring to back combing when you say tease ? This would create a different look, a much wider more fluffy effect. Still really cool.

[@fiona3821]

@@RossCharles yes I have seen some different ones as a child on carnaby Street London and other parts. I have never tried it and as an artist now would love to do a punk shoot makeup and Hair..🤗
