A Brief History About Mohawk Dreads

The Mohawk is an ancient hairstyle. It is one of the coolest hairstyles in history. 

As per sources, the Mohawk hairstyle started with a Native American tribe, was adopted by fighter pilots during WWII, and was later adopted by rebel punks in the 1970s and 1980s.

This also implies that dreadlocks are no longer exclusive to black guys or those embracing a more carefree life. It is now worn as a symbol of nonconformity.

Although the genuine Mohawk hairstyle was not on locs, now people are making and enjoying it with dreads.

How Do Mohawk Dreads Look Like?

The mohawk is a unique hairdo that is gradually gaining popularity. A dreaded Mohawk appearance, also known as a Mohawk fade, is created by shaving or trimming the sides to create a Mohawk appearance. Simply get an undercut or a fade, or cut the hair on the sides shorter than the top.

If you don’t want to put in the effort to grow your hair, the Mohawk Dreadlock is the style for you. The lengths may be tested, and by adjusting the lengths of the hair on top, you can split the pattern and experiment with something new. 

Plus, based on your face shape and overall appearance, you may completely change the way your hair looks.

Types Of Mohawk Dreads

This section about Mohawk dread styles includes both men’s and women’s mohawk dreads styles. Yet, you should be aware that the majority of them are interchangeable. So let’s get this ball rolling!

1. Long Mohawk With Dreads

I will start this section with a boom to show you how exactly awesome this hairdo is. Just check out the above picture. I mean WOW!

This style is known as a long Mohawk with dreads and bare sides. As you can clearly see, the lovely locs have been centralized and pushed back to form a long ponytail. This exposed the shaved sides with beautiful tattoos.

2. Undercut Mohawk Dreads

Mohawk and undercut look great together, and each enhances the other. The undercut dreadlock Mohawk is the newest fashion in town, and the guys who choose the Mohawk also consider the undercut. 

To achieve a detached vibe, pair this style with a beard and a partial side cut.

3. Black & White Layered Women Mohawk

This dreadlock Mohawk is in a blend of black and white hair. The Mohawk is made up of two layers. The vanilla blonde dreads rest on top of her head and flow through her back in a luscious fishtail braid intertwined with a few multicolored strands of yarn.

 Under it, the model’s natural black hair is pulled up to support the Mohawk. 

On the sides, she has a beautiful hair tattoo that resembles a graceful lotus blossom and reflects the rose tattoo on her neck. 

4. Two Top French Braids Mohawk

You may style a dreaded mohawk in a variety of ways, one of which is splitting the hair into two sections and using the dreadlocks to create two French braids. You may also meet them at the neckline and design a basic wide, hefty chunk of locs.

5. Long Platinum Mohawk Dreads

There aren’t many females who are bold enough to shave their hair, but those who do are as precious as a diamond. It’s a braided Mohawk with platinum dreadlocks. 

Despite the fact that the woman has no significant tattoos, the sides have been entirely bare. However, in this manner, your attention is drawn to her hairdo, which is exactly what you would like to deal with!

6. Mohawk Dreads With Top Knot

Who doesn’t adore a person with hair in a top knot? These well-kept locs look fantastic in this top knot with freshly shaved sides and a clean hairline. The fading enhances the style’s cleanliness. 

This mohawk provides a bit more coverage than others, making it an ideal choice!

Steps Of Doing Mohawk Dreads

Step 1: Do Sectioning Of Your Dreads

If you need mohawk dreads you should already have dreads on your head. If not then get one. 

Begin by taking a portion of hair from both sides. If you can imagine, you should have three equal sections of locs on your head. One in the center and two on each side. Tie them separately neatly with hair bands. 

Keep in mind that you want your dreads to resemble a mohawk so make doubly sure your dreads are well-sectioned—use a sectioning comb. Sectioning is essential, especially with the mohawk, because you have to show nice creases on the sides.

If you have long dreads, make buns of sections. Otherwise, a strong tying or clipping is fine.

Step 2: Cut Your Long Dreads

This step is important if you have long dreads—shoulder or neckline length. Now, it’s time to cut them with sharp scissors. Make sure you cut the side sections only, not the center ones.

People with starter locs can skip this step.

Step 3: It’s Time To Shave!

In this step, we are going to use a trimmer. We have to first shave the hair from the ears area. This area should be as neat as possible. Afterward, go up a little high gradually as we need a little faded look. 

You can also shave fully—without a fade. It is your preference.

While shaving the sides, ensure you have a straight line to work with to maintain your dread hawk tidy and to avoid cutting the unwanted dreads. Cutting your dreads incorrectly might result in thin dreads following the lines of your mohawk.

Step 4: Forehead Shaping

Once you are done with the side shaping, it’s time to shape your forehead baby hair nicely. In this step, you need to be as precise as possible. Make clear lines or you can say “L” on both corners or forehead.

Step 5: Choose Your Mohawk Dreads Style

Shaving is common in all mohawk dreads but there are many mohawk dreads styles from braids to ponytails. I already told a few of them. You can choose whatever you like—a long ponytail, a top knot, or a fishtail.

How To Maintain Mohawk Dreads?

Moisturizing your dreads and scalp is important for healthy locs. To avoid build-up spray your locs with rose water or mild oils. 

After shampooing, completely dry your locs to avoid any rotten accumulation.

Whenever you notice hair growth on the shaved sides, try shaving them again for a sleek and neat look of your mohawk dreads.

Things To Consider When Getting Mohawk Dreads

• Ask your hairstylist if they would consider giving you their advice and recommendations on what style would be the finest for you. Not every haircut is appropriate for every man. An expert hairdresser will evaluate numerous factors, including your face shape and appearance, hair kind, length of dreads, and consistency.
• A trimmer should be clean and works according to the fading level of both head sides.
• Get a quality sectioning comb to make clear straight locs sections. You can check the Bardeau section comb. 
• You should have a crochet needle in your head in case of tightening loose hair. It could happen when you section your dreadlocks.
