Description

A Mohawk on afro hair is a bold and stylish hairstyle that combines a longer, distinctly shaped top section with very short or shaved sides and back of the head (skin fade). The top part of the hair is left longer and styled into a characteristic strip running from the forehead to the nape of the neck, giving the haircut its iconic shape and allowing room for styling creativity. The fade on the sides starts high above the ears, creating a sharp contrast between the full volume in the middle and the short-cut areas on the sides. A typical feature of this haircut is a cleanly bordered and clearly defined mohawk strip, which stands out thanks to the natural texture of afro hair. The contours around the forehead and temples are precisely groomed, ensuring that the hairstyle always looks modern, fresh, and original.

Who is it for?

Ideal for afro or tightly curly hair, this cut is for men seeking a bold urban style. Popularized by Usher as the "South of France" cut, it is a hit in R&B and hip-hop culture. It suits oval, square, or narrow faces and stands out perfectly with a neat, well-contoured beard.
