The frohawk is a combination of Mohawk and Afro hair tailored for black men. This hairstyle gets attention and perfect for the working environment to show some style without causing any maintenance hassle.
Creating A Frohawk without Shaving The Sides
Frohawk is based on the Mohawk style that has become popular amongst punk rockers. The difference lies in the fact that the sides of the head do not have to be shaved. In fact, they do not even have to be cut shorter than the top, as with a faux-hawk. Instead, this style is achieved using styling techniques.
- In its most basic form, frohawk is a style that is easily accomplished. All one has to do is push the sides of the hair up into the center stripe so that it stands up from the head. Bobby pins are typically used to hold the side hair in place. A bit of gel can be used to help.
- Another trick that is commonly used is to cornrow the sides of the hair. However, there are two ways to go about this. The cornrows can be created in an up and down direction that points into the center strip or they can be created running from front to back as normal. If this approach is taken, the cornrows stop, leaving the center strip about two inches wide.
The Advantages of Frohawk
One huge advantage that the frohawk has over other “hawk” styles is the fact that it is not necessary to cut the hair in any special way. This means that one can style his hair into a frohawk on the weekends or in the evening when going out and wear a more conservative style when going into the office.
It is also a style that can be worn in most places of employment. It does not shock people the way a true Mohawk would. This style is worn by many athletes with curly hair because it helps to keep their hair away from the face while engaged in their sport.
Learning how to get a frohawk hairstyle is not too difficult. The hardest part is getting enough bobby pins in place to provide adequate hold. Not having enough can put them under too much strain and cause them to break, releasing the hair to fall back to the sides and ruin the hairstyle.
