I'll looking to get a mohawk this year..but not the full buzzed supershort on the sides and long on top...i'll probably go down to a 5 on the sides but does anyone have any pics of none radical hawks?

The modified mohawk looks like an outgrown mohawk, or a stepsister to the mullet: short on the sides (but not shaved down all the way), with a landing strip down the center that can be poofed up or slicked down. While partly another 80’s reclamation–the wearer looks as if he or she should be playing a Borg synthesizer in a white sport coat–the cut is also prized for its androgynous versatility. Whereas a punk-rock-era mohawk was a definitive statement–I hate disco, I hate my parents, I hate the 10th grade–a style-hawk fits neatly into the 21st-century tradition of socially and corporately acceptable bad-ass-isms, like Harley-Davidsons or leather pants. It is, quite simply, the mohawk that He or She can wear to Brownies–or dinner at Babbo.
