Interesting combos of textures within one hairstyle can really catch your eye! And this style combines a few different interesting elements. The clean frame of the face, slightly longer hair of the facial hairstyle, and the twisted extensions shaped into a Mohawk make a statement style that the eye wants to examine in detail.
The Mohawk has a powerful history and deep roots in counterculture. Today, it has been adopted as a hairstyle for anyone wanting a fierce and unconventional look. The authentic side-shaved version is still in, but modern interpretations with braided or patterned sides are on the rise, too. Faux hawks also offer a less permanent option, styled easily using a strong-hold texturizer on cuts with a longer top and shorter sides. Let’s take a look at some artistic and interesting takes on Mohawk styles for Black men.

One interesting way to interpret the Mohawk is with a dreadhawk. It’s a combination of fully twisted, longer locks with side undercuts. Two-tone dreads are twice as impressive, and the undercut can be faded toward the ear line.
This faded variation showcases the sharp lightning bolt detail on the side that demarcates the longest natural section with the trimmed part underneath and the shortest buzz above the ear.

Height, width, and side detail are all customizable. This hawk, featuring small spiky twists, a solid dividing line, and short faded sides, resembles a Spartan helmet. The soldiers wore plumage or dyed horsetail manes on their helmets to be identified as representatives of the group.

This example is definitely the tallest in this collection, making the grade with a very high flat top. The faded sides angle on the temples, anchoring the extreme height of the hawk, while the clean-shaven sides behind the ears define the point at the base of the neck.

This look adds some color only to the tips of the kinks, resembling leopard spots, which are fun, playful, and a bit untamed. The short tapered sides fade to smooth shaven skin, all around the ear. The long, straight hairline smartly shapes the square forehead.

The ideal versions of a Mohawk are different for everyone. However, this look seems to be universally flattering. It combines mid-length natural locks with short faded sides and the chin strap beard. The hair around the ears is barely there.

This one-of-a-kind style creates an aerodynamic look that is not soon forgotten. The hawk is combed over to one side, and the design shaved into the sides follows the lines of the top ridge. Behind the ear, an angled detail creates the ornamental nape line.

This curly hawk has one thing that sets it apart from the others, and that is the super-graphic edges connected with the facial hairstyle through the sideburns. The curved lines follow around the ear to the jaw, while the contrasting straight lines up top give the look an added edge.

The Mohawk seen here has a distinctive, negative-space razor detail. Those sharp wings with a sweeping curve behind the ear give the effect of a runner in motion, and also appear artistic at the same time!

This faded alternative is a classic smooth look that will remain timeless. The blurred sides are seamlessly connected to the beard by a wider sideburn. The lines at the jaw are slightly curved, and the line at the base of the neck is horizontal – nothing extreme, but everything’s very neat and visually appealing.

It’s no secret that unusual Mohawk hairstyles for Black men can be seen all over, and here is another great example! A contrasting artistic piece really brings out the visual aesthetics. A wider strip of hair, left natural, rises to a medium length to complete the look.

These curls have a wild side to them, enhancing the stark contrast to the clean-shaven sides. The width and the length are in perfect balance, and the texture lets it stand upright for the authentic, fierce look.
@nastybarbers
These natural curls just want to be free! But while they are released to reveal their texture, the edges are tamed. The forehead hairline creates a square-looking profile, and the faded temples melt into smooth skin with not a hint of sideburns. A clean line is drawn curving toward the nape to finish it off.
@thebarberpost
This look with short, shaped spikes is a wider style, covering most of the top of the head. The short faded sides help to lift up the style, and the square hairline with an acute angle is supported by the same angle of the cheek line.
@nastybarbers
These natural locks are bleached to create a lighter shade at the ends, and left fairly long, being tapered towards the nape. The side art is shaved into a graffiti-like set of lines. The sideburns are removed completely, and the neckline is cleaned up to blend with the design.
@suggsdabarber
Adding colors is always fun when it comes to distinctive haircuts. Natural kinks cover the top of the head, tapering towards the base of the neck, and the edges are done with high precision. The facial hairstyle is also flawless.
@thebarberpost
Shorter hawks have just as much style as longer ones, and are actually easier to manage! This one creates a smoother look with locks tamed and sides faded more softly. The pointed tip of the beard gives this style its own individual touch.

This Black Mohawk features the longest length in the quiff and a bleached piece that works as a focal point of the look. This style really stands up for itself. A messy look up top with neatly shaved sides sets a stoic tone, and adds to your height, too. The pointy beard in this case is good for balance.
@khanartist1
This wider and longer Mohawk is bright and eye-catching, even though it doesn’t use any neon colors or stiff spikes. The bleached ends work as a standout detail you can use to customize your hawk. Create a smooth forehead line to clean up the front, and square up the temples.
@banthonysr
These are just some examples to get you inspired. You can certainly play with your cut to come up with something unique. More ideas for Mohawks for Black men and other styles can be found in the galleries featuring braids, fades, and long hairstyles.
