These days, when most people see a creative black Mohawk on the street, most people do a double take. Years ago, Mohawks were worn on the helmets of warriors or soldiers and were used to mimic raised bird feathers, usually seen as a defense mechanism against predators. Fast forward to today, and now Mohawks are being adopted as a hairstyle for everyone. So let's take a look at some very interesting and artistic Mohawks!

Black men choose Mohawks if they want a tougher and fiercer appearance. Although modern Mohawks are often more on the faux-hawk side because they still have hair on the sides, these flashy hairstyles always make a statement. The following gallery contains some really fun variations on the Mohawk theme that are worth checking out.

Authentic Mohawks with the basic pattern with shaved sides always attract attention. People subconsciously believe that only really cool guys, who act and think differently than the average guy, can afford to spot a real Mohawk.

Mohawks are loved by sporty guys, rock stars and real macho men. If you are one of them, it's time to choose your personal style. You can have the sides of your head shaved, cut short or braided and vary the height of the ends, their texture and even color. Instead of simply shaving the sides, you can also pattern them. Plus, some of the coolest Mohawks have fun colors.
