This article will show you how to get a "fohawk".
Step 1
Set aside about 5 minutes (10, if this is your first time) to get your hair into the right style.
Step 2
Get some hairgel and hairspray. Try "Bedhead Manipulator" and "Aussie Hairspray", which are both cheap, and easy to use.
Step 3
Cover your entire hands with the hair gel.
Step 4
Pinch your hair between your hands and pull up from your head into the mohawk shape you wish to achieve - how many spikes (if any), how large, etc., is at your own discretion.
Step 5
As soon as you have finished the above step, repeat to make sure it keeps it's shape.
Step 6
Now, take your hairspray and spray a liberal amount all over your Fohawk - again, to make sure it stays in place.
Step 7
Take a hairdryer and use until your Fohawk is completely dry.
Step 8
Know that some people will frown upon this hairstyle (e.g. teachers, parents), but it's your choice - wear it proud!
Tips
- You don't need to wash your hair first before you do this (though if you do, it will work just the same.)
- Set up at least two mirrors so that you are able to see the back of your head, and check that everything looks okay. If you cannot do this, have a friend check and tell you if it's looking alright.
- Wash your hair before going to sleep
- Don't use a comb, as this will completely ruin the shape
Warnings
- If you do not dry your Fohawk with a hairdryer, it will sag. In this shape it will harden, and make you look as if you have been standing on your head.
- Some people will criticize your hair choice. Live with it.
