User:Savmoyle/Frohawk

A frohawk allows somebody to wear their hair in a style similar to the mohawk, without having to buzz or cut the sides of your hair. In African American style, the sides of the hair is usually twisted up, cornrowed, or just slicked up using a pomeade or gel. Frohawks are a way to ease yourself into a mohawk if your not ready for the commitment of shaving parts of your head.

Directions to Create a Frohawk
1. Section the hair. Use a rat-tail comb to divide your hair into sections. The number of sections may range from four to eight, depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Use hair clips to keep the rest of the hair out of the way.

2. Spritz hair. It's a good idea to have a spray bottle handy filled with detangler. Adding moisture to your hair can make it easier to comb through.

3. Using a wide-tooth comb, begin at the bottom of the first section of hair. While using one hand to comb, use the other hand to firmly hold the section of hair near the bottom. Slowly work the comb through until the bottom is free of tangles before moving up the hair.

4. Continue to spritz hair if it dries and you need additional moisture.

5. Work your way up the hair section to the root, making sure you can comb freely down to the ends. Once a section is detangled, clip it out of the way or loosely twist or braid it to prevent it from tangling again. Repeat this for all sections of the hair.

-Unlike the fauxhawk, the frohawk is predominantly an updo on African Americans because of the course, easy to cornrow hair on the sides.
