Natural hair can do it all. Cropped, long, braids, straight, and beyond, natural hair continuously reminds us never to underestimate what our curls and coils can do. We know our coils defy gravity, and mohawks and faux hawks take out curls to new heights. The best part about this iconic style is if you're not ready to make a permanent commitment to the mohawk in the traditional sense, faux hawks are an excellent option, and our two experts agree. 

If you aren't ready to commit to a full mohawk, pick up a soft brush and some bobby pins and get to work, says master hairstylist Rashuna Durham. Faux hawks can be so versatile. Braided and puffed, the side-braided faux hawk or the classic slick-and pin are all fun and protective styling options without the commitment. DC-based celebrity hairstylist Jamal Edmonds agrees: If you're are not quite ready to cut your hair in a mohawk, you can always add braids to the sides of the head to create that tapered silhouette. 

Whether you opt for a traditional mohawk or a temporary version of the style, Durham recommends starting with a clean canvas. When considering any style, the best thing to do is start with a clean, healthy scalp, she says. All great hairstyles begin at the shampoo bowl, and since wearing a curly mohawk/faux hawk requires hair to be short on the sides or brushed up against the scalp, making sure that you're starting with a deep-cleansed and moisturized scalp is key.

Therefore, you want to be sure to keep your color vibrant and healthy. She recommends using a leave-in conditioner with color-protecting properties as it can help detangle, soften, protect vibrancy, and keep color from fading.
