My friends tried to convince me to get my mohawk for weeks before I actually did it. Once I had the top spiked and the sides in ponytails, I was sold. It is hot and wonderously fierce. I feel like a new me.... the same, but better at the same time.
Mine is down more than up, just because of lack of time... We cut it so it was wide, so when it falls on both sides it covers the short sides, [for work]... most of the time, though, I just brush it over on one side of bobby pin it back.
I've gotten so much attention from guys... and girls...[=) ] Most of it positive... REALLY positive.
If your willing to put up with the frustration of a 'hawk, don't hesitate, they frickin rule. Personally, I LOVE chicks with hawks. My girlfriend did a hawk one time and now im trying to convince her to cut it into a hawk! When mine is down, I devil locke it, just use some gel and form a spike that runs down the middle of your face. Since its between your eyes, you forget its even there!
