Is there some kind of trick to getting a point on a mohawk?

Seriously, Ive been trying, and I just cant get it.

Im not certain if its my technique, or if its my hair (I have naturally wavy/curly super stiff hair). Basically, when I put my hair up, the tip kind of pulls away to both sides right at the top. From the side it looks cool, from the front it just looks dorky.

Any ideas?

I think we need pictures.

Let me see if I can do that.

Im not entirely certain I can get pics up right now, but ill try.

This is with gel.

Looking at some of my pics using glue, I had better luck, but there was still a slight pull away near the top in those pics. Ill put those in my blog.

Basically, is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

You can go back more before you comb it up. I found that if I kept mine going back it did okay.

Another thing that helped when I had mine was basically doing my hair with gel twice. First to establish a base and get basically something similar to what you have now, and then working on just getting the top together.

That works relatively easy without using glue. Glue scared me because you have to sleep. I have seen elmers and superglue used in mohawks. Personally the thought of using superglue in your hair just seems like a disaster waiting to happen to me, but on the plus side, it would be waterproof.

Well, Im using a hair glue, which washes out in seconds if I need it to.


I tried some new Gel this morning, but wasnt impressed. So I tried another hairglue, the results were much better, and I think I have found a tip on the back of a bottle of glue that will assist greatly.

Bill, thanks for the tips, Ill try those aswell.

I have no experience with mohawks, which might surprise you... ... but it seems to me that having your hair all the same length when it's combed up might contribute to the problem. If the hair on the very top of your head was just a bit shorter, the sides would come up over the middle and meet at the peak. I don't think the problem is your hair or the gel, I think it's the cut.
