This versatile style transforms the traditional center Mohawk by incorporating creative side elements. Transform your Mohawk into an updo and add in some fun side braids that are smaller and easily gathered into a single plait. This is a creative way to get long, heavy hair away from the face and sport a fancy look for a special occasion.
Take a cue from a trendy style and incorporate just a whisper of it into your next formal hairdo. All you need is medium-length hair, bobby pins, and a setting spray.
@heatherchapmanhair
White and gray hair is very popular with young women right now, especially when styled beautifully. It will take a few rounds of practice, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll get a lovely and relatively simple style to wear.
@modernsalon
Spice up your hairdo by adding fishtail Dutch braids and a fun color like cotton candy pink. The longer your hair, the more room there is to play around with texture, but short-haired gals can still get in on the hair styling fun.
@modernsalon
This style combines the traditional edgy hairdo with intricately braided sides inspired by intricate cornrow techniques. Medium to thick locks will fare well with the ‘do, but thinner-haired ladies can pull it off, too – it will just look less voluminous.
@alex_haircraft
The Mohawk silhouette created by the side cornrows makes platinum twist-out curls on natural hair truly stand out! The style elongates the face perfectly.
@nianaturalhair
The top is braided into a simple French braid, and the sides are brought into a low ponytail with curled ends. While you can blend the braid with the rest of your hair at the nape, pinning it on top of your pony will instantly step up the look.
@micki_hairartistry
Natural hair Mohawk styles can beautifully complement various face shapes and features. One of the stunning ways to style it is to combine elaborate fishbone braids at the sides with twists that are further carefully styled into an updo. Add in dimensional copper strands for the ultimate killer look.
@cutelooksdar
Feeling tired of the casual ponytail? Let your stylist get creative and combine various elements in your ‘do. Different-sized cornrows and a sleek pony, carefully detached with a cute black ribbon, create an awesome look!
@vrkoce
Create a simple braided updo by styling a single Dutch braid. For that, bring the strands at the front up, not slightly to the back as in the traditional Dutch braid. Pull the loops to the sides for a more relaxed, elegant look.
@tanarosehair
Braided Mohawks can take on many different forms, but none are as fun as this neon number. Whether you choose pink, chartreuse, or aquamarine, both temporary and permanent day-glow hair colors are fun to wear.
@candicemarielv
Work your long hair into a French-braid/Mohawk fusion that will really turn heads. The longer and thicker your hair, the better this style works. The braided fusion looks even more striking with balayage or ombre color.
@michellejoyhair
Love the beauty of ombre hair but want something a bit more creative? Try this edgy take on the popular shade. Braiding the top section while leaving the bottom portion of hair loose is a beautiful way to show off some color.
@ashtonhair
With fullness up top and fun color beneath, this style is accentuated with beautiful side braids. Black and white are really fun shades, but you can use brighter hues or stick to your natural tone.
@singi.vo
This Mohawk-inspired hairstyle combines French braids with an updo. If your hair is mega long, keep some braids down on the sides for a finish of true creativity.
@modernsalon
For an edgier style, braid a classic Mohawk with shaved sides. The hairdo can still be soft and romantic when you add an undercut design like a butterfly, a flower, a heart, or any other pattern that makes a statement along with a top pile of beautiful curls.
@theconfessionsofahairstylist
Three side cornrows make a great way to style a faux hawk for an evening out that will look great with many different types of dresses. Elegant long braid and pearls on the pins give that subtle festive vibe that will make the hairstyle perfectly on point.
@myhairstyle_xo
A short Mohawk with a barely-there faux braid may be a good alternative to classy updos. All you need is this inspo and just a bit of a styling product to brush your locks to the back.
@beautyhairbylana
Styling a faux hawk shouldn’t be difficult! A French braid on both sides and a simple pull-through braid on top – and you are ready to rock a nice festival hairstyle.
@hairbyjulez
The combination of thick and thin braids is a winning idea for making that curly hair earn your extra points! Let the locks fall loose at the nape of your head for a fun twist on the style.
@wladislav.morar
The bubble ponytail finish and bright scrunchies make this faux hawk so trendy! A great way to show off your balayage or chunky highlights.
@tanarosehair
If you know how to French braid hair, or can at least effectively gather it into cascading ponytails, you are already halfway there. This style is perfect for thicker hair, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be super long.
@modernsalon
Your hair doesn’t have to be perfectly coifed to qualify as a winning hairstyle. When it comes to braided Mohawks, this one is as loose and carefree as it comes – and it’s definitely absolutely lovely and chic.
@game_of_braids
While this style may be popular with long locks, short-haired girls don’t need to feel left out. Simply braid the bangs into a loose fishtail, curl the ends, and brush the sides upward to the top of the head while securing everything with hair pins for a fun faux hawk look.
@aislehair
Fancy up your hairdo with a fun, sparkly accessory. You can virtually wear anything to elevate your style, but gemstone hair embellishments tend to work better. Wear your hair up during the day and then add in the gems for a night out.
@lalasupdos
If you love the look of a Mohawk but are a little hesitant to go permanently drastic, part the sides of your hair into tight, small braids and then gather the remaining hair into a thick, loosely coiled plait. Add in a fun temporary hair color for an added statement.
@michelle.borbolla
Make a barely-there faux hawk by braiding hair into a long bubble braid. Reserve some side strands for tiny braids that are then worked into the main focal point. Spray this with your favorite setting product and be ready to see heads turn.
@vanity_sense
For this style, medium cornrows are colored according to a scheme of complementary hues like hot magenta, white, and teal. Then, they are gathered up to the top of the head in the direction of a Mohawk.
@chiyukihair
Leave your beautiful long hair flowing free without driving you crazy all day – simply French braid the center portion very tightly and leave a messy bun on the crown. The result will be a subtle Mohawk that frames and brightens your face.
@missysueblog
Incorporate some baby cornrows with a curved pattern into the sides for an ethnic take on your look. This style can be worn for days at a time because of its protective qualities. It’s totally low-maintenance and works with a variety of face shapes.
@modernsalon
Vary the thickness and color of your braids to achieve a style that is beautiful and fun to wear. This updo looks simple yet creative, and with the right styling, it can actually be worn quite comfortably.
@modernsalon
This hairstyle is inspired by a Mohawk, but quickly diverges into all things romantic. Loose side tendrils, an angled braid that curls at the nape of the neck, and, of course, beautiful sun-catching highlights provide the hairdo with the perfect accent.
@shelbyweatherholtzhair
Let your tresses gloriously cascade down your head. This is an example of a classic style for ladies who have super long hair and are ready for a creative new look.
@missysueblog
This hairdo is created with French braids running in different directions. The style is creative but pretty simple. A fun color can really bring more of a statement to your locks. Work in some mini braids on the sides for a more unique final look.
@modernsalon
Sometimes your natural hair texture requires additional volume and length to achieve the full Mohawk effect. This one combines beautiful side cornrows and the lush central section with curls that are wild and voluminous up top.
@modernsalon
This braided Mohawk will give you a cute and edgy look without the commitment. Dozens of braids swirl together to form a gorgeous, unique twist. Of course, you need to invest in extensions to pull off a lovely hairdo.
@getmanetamed
Whether you’re at a wedding party or are just feeling fancy, this twisted hairstyle is photo-ready and stunning every time. It works equally great on girls with thick or thin hair.
@modernsalon
This full updo may require a few attempts to complete a perfectly imperfect style. However, once you master it, it gives you a quick, elegant look that also contains a little bit of rebellious spirit. As glamorous, creative, and cool as it is, the style is perfect for any occasion.
@modernsalon
You may keep your hair natural with curls or curl and backcomb your locks, depending on their texture. The style is casual enough for dinner plans and, at the same time, fancy enough to hold its own at a formal event. You’ll need lots of bobby pins and setting spray if you want a long-lasting look.
@kwhair_
Fancy and fun, this hairstyle is ideal with a hair accessory that sports one of many elegant designs – leaves, hearts, swirls – whatever you can find. When you grow tired of more standard hairdos, try a reverse, body-boosting glam.
@tinaluskhair
As you can see, braided Mohawks look softer and less extreme. If that’s what you need in a hairstyle, these eye-catching hair ideas are for you!
