Mohawk hairstyles can deliver a bunch of original hairstyling solutions for natural hair. While tapered sides look really cool, you don’t always have to shave the sides, as fauxhawks allow you to change your hairstyles as often as you wish. Read on for the best ideas!
Keep your Mohawk on natural hair looking genuinely natural with a free and flirty feel that will quickly win hearts. Pair it with some oversized accessories and enjoy a style that’s not only beautiful, but super simple to maintain, too.

Beyond the dramatic look of this style that features half blonde, half black hair, this is also a worthy example of the many braided Mohawk styles out there. Braids can be done at the salon and last for weeks, or you can try them out yourself until you achieve the exact look you love.
@heycurlie
Natural Mohawk styles don’t need to conform to natural hair colors. Instead, be a rebel with a fun bright fuschia or other flower inspired colors that will really accentuate your frohawk and help you stand out from the crowd.

When applied to longer hair, the frohawk style looks less reminiscent of traditional Mohawk updos but still exudes a captivating charm in its unique way. Also, consider showcasing coily bangs to add a cool factor to your Mohawk hairstyle.
@anima.agyeman
It’s not often you come across such expertly crafted and intricately braided hairstyles causing the WOW effect, but this hairdo is exactly what it is. With flat twists and boho curls, this twisted frohawk must be the best offer on the table.

Get fun with your protective style and go for this charmingly alluring two-tone fauxhawk. Blonde shades will perfectly complement your caramel skin and showcase the texture of your curls in its all beauty.

Two things that make this mohawk perfect are strategically placed bobby pins that keep this style secured in place and a suitable moisturizer for maintaining curls’ softness. According to the stylist, this is a great alternative for those whose hair is too short to put be up in a pineapple or a low ponytail.

A voluminous braided Mohawk adorned with delicate floral decorations is a delightful idea for a bride who wants to demonstrate her creativity. To ensure your masterpiece retains its shape throughout the day, apply a finishing spray of your choice.

For those with thick hair, dividing your frohawk into sections is a smart move. This approach simplifies styling and ensures a more harmonious look. Adding warm caramel tones will make this style even more alluring and unique.

If you want to make your frohawk stand out, rather than opting for slick-backed sides, choose to incorporate thin side twists. As for the remaining hair, ask for tiny-sized dreadlocks made using a sisterlock technique.
@hairbylovlelocs
To create this quick and easy go-to “fro” hairstyle, twist up the sides and comb the curls for a desired shape. And, for an extra touch of glamour, add stylish golden hoops or other favorite jewelry.
@michellethompsonhair
Styling a Mohawk with natural hair can sometimes be challenging, but incorporating thin cornrows on the sides adds elegance and manageability to the look. This style is sure to turn heads and spark conversations.
@lindseylulala
Turn your afro into this stylish Mohawk mullet by slicking back the sides and gathering hair towards the crown, securing it in place with bobby pins. Then, gently arrange the curls to achieve your preferred shape and smooth the sides with a foam or similar styling product for a contrast of textures.
@wuraa.olaa
Using a quick weave instead of chopping your hair allows you to experiment with your afro, having an option to go back to your usual style. If you aim for something short and sassy that will accentuate your appearance, pay attention to this incredibly stylish pixie cut mohawk.
@iamtherealveronicab
Daring yet extremely feminine, this hairstyle can accentuate the beauty of every woman. You can easily style it at home and combine the look with any outfit, depending on the occasion. Secure the sides with blonde bobby pins and leave the curls flowing freely in all directions, fixing them with volume hairspray.
@curlfactor
Locs Mohawks amazingly work for any hair type, and you can adjust their length and style following your preferences easily. For example, you can ask to arrange your locks in some decorative pattern or complement it with flat twists to make it look one-of-a-kind.
@dead.hair.care
Smooth sides paired with intricately twisted lengths elevate this faux hawk, making it perfect for a special occasion like your friend’s wedding or a prom. Complement this look with glamorous makeup and fancy accessories to keep all eyes on you!
@vanlenore
We love Mohawk styles that incorporate scalp braids, as this intricate combination results in a protective hairstyle, perfect for your wash-and-go curly routine. The only caveat is that your natural hair should be long enough to add a bubble ponytail to your hairdo, as showcased here.
@lindseylulala
A combination of accurately braided sides and vibrant burgundy curls creates a cheeky yet charming mohawk style for black women. While it works for hair of medium or long lengths, you can extend your curls’ length and volume effortlessly by incorporating hair extensions.
@slaysbyvic
Here is an excellent example of a short natural hairdo that can be proudly worn by both young girls and their mothers alike. Taper fades look absolutely stunning against the contrasting curls and longer bangs.
@hairbytrinalondon
Embodying the essence of a true rockstar, this blown-out mohawk hairstyle exudes undeniable charisma. However, to maintain your natural coils, we recommend to incorporate a reliable heat protectant into your hairstyling routine.
@modelesque_nic
The versatility of Mohawk hairstyles enables you to mix different styles and elements, trying something new and captivating without sacrificing their low-maintenance nature. Here, the stylist combined scalp twists and Bantu knots, offering something truly striking and unique for those who are ready to take risks in expressing themselves.
@sheslocdnlove
Mohawks, like the voluminous style showcased here, offer a fresh twist to afro hairstyles. By creating an elongated silhouette with the increased height and a long curly fringe, this hairstyle balances round face shapes perfectly.
@carla_rautenbach_
A natural hair Mohawk is not only fun to wear, it’s fun to admire, too! This style allows your curls to go wild while still maintaining style and control.
@astoldbybrittanyd
If you love your dark hair but want to try something different, use a temporary hair color up top while allowing your dark roots to still shine through beneath. For black women, any non-natural hair color is incredibly stunning, as dark tresses take on bold colors beautifully.
Mohawk styles for natural hair certainly aren’t solely about the cut or shape – you can have a lot of fun with vibrant colors, too. Purple is the hue of power and royalty, and so why not to declare to the world how fun and fearless you are? Dye hair a bright lavender all over, or just in a selected section. When it comes to Mohawk styles, this one is bold without being distracting.
If you prefer to wear natural hair short, then get your hair cut close to the scalp, but leave slightly longer curls up top. Your naturally tight coils will raise up for a mini mohawk that still allows you the convenience of short hair.
Braiding your sides close to the scalp is the easiest way to shape a Mohawk style for natural hair. Usually it suggests multiple thin cornrows, yet you can also cut down their number and make them larger like in the photo. These also feature fun Bantu knots at the ends.
More sophisticated versions of Mohawks appropriate for proms and weddings can offer more intricate designs, although the idea is still the same. This hairstyle substitutes spikes for twists which look very neat, elegant and feminine. And 30 other black braided hairstyles are waiting for your attention here.
Wow, this is a fantastic way to curb your natural short hair without any need to resort to complex styling techniques. Sleek your sides vertically up and fix the tresses securely with bobby pins. Fluff your “feathers” for the Mohawk crest and enjoy your effortless classy look!
