 | I love the shape of this look. It’s a bit fast, a bit streetwear, a bit King’s Road London. But mostly it’s a mix of two vastly separate styles: mohawk and rockabilly.
The two sections down the side – molded into place with plaits – create the strength to the haircut and give that Mohican edge. Then the fringe is pushed up to a 1950s quiff, adding the rockabilly touch. It’s brilliant: Native American mohawk meets rockabilly quiff!
Okay it’s not for everyday and I don’t know how many boys are brave enough for it. But it’s expressive, it’s strong and that’s what I love about it. It’s full on, pushing the boundaries and that’s what we hairdressers like. Plus, even though the end result is really strong, the natural haircut you could work with here is medium length that’s a bit nondescript. All you need is some length to work with, and for the fringe to reach the point of the nose – so you could really create this look on any loose, grown-out haircut.
By the way, a great product to use here is Crafty from Sebastian (Sebastian Evokativ Crafty Braiding & Detailing Balm). It has a fantastic creamy consistency that will eliminate frizz in the braid and help make the hair nice and pliable.
Step 1. WASH & DRY
In wet hair, apply Kevin Murphy Antigravity through the head of hair. Dry it off messily, upside down, to create as much volume all over as possible.
Step 2. STYLE
Take two even semicircle sections above the ear to the nape of the neck. Plait and weave these, using some Crafty to smooth away any frizz. Then backcomb the rest of the hair through the centre to create that messy, chunky look.
Step 3. HOLD
Finish with Goldwell Finishing Spray, molding the front into place.
