D: You made it way too thin.

this can't be a mohawk can it? mohawks are at least 1inch thick and don't taper to a point (that is if im right) and mohekans ar thinner and taper to a point

I cut/coloured/maintained this guys hair for a couple of years until he decided to start fresh. (Punk Parlor is just what friends referred to my living space as because that's where I did hair.)

Aug 16, 2009. 12:56 PMveggiepunk says:

nice. use bobbles, and shave down the sides, next time cut it a little wider and you should have more surport to get a big PHat mohawk backcomb the hell out of it and water down some woodglue/pva glue depending on how much you use it can lasts for days, use a comb to "fan" if you still struggle to keep it up use an iron/straightners/hairdryer with your head between your legs lol

Nice hair dude :) Careful with skinheads though. I almost got beaten to death by them because I had long hair, I can't imagine what they would have done to me if I had a mohawk ;(

Aug 4, 2009. 12:10 AMdarby0malley says:

probably nothing. a hawk is better than being a hair-farmer

Way to go Frank, I couldn't have done it better. It's a tricky haircut. Muriel

an old skool punk friend used to use soap, lather it up good, and rub it through, then dry in place

I used to have a mohawk until it got so long that it just flopped over into a manson style doo......making me look gothic... that was when I decided to grow long hair.
