What defines Mohawk?

A mohawk leaves a raised strip along the center with the sides cropped close. The width of the strip controls how much of the ridge shows from the front.

What to look for from the front, side and back

Check the strip’s width over the forehead. In profile, follow its height from the front through the crown and down toward the back.

What to confirm with your stylist

Point out the widest part of the strip and decide how far down the nape it should extend. Agree on the shortest side length.
