What Is A Reverse Mohawk

So, essentially, what is a reverse Mowhawk? This is a very bold and eye-catching hairstyle popular among punks and rock punks. As the name implies, it is a reverse version of a classic Mohawk. So, traditionally, you would remove all of the hair from the sides leaving a long narrow strip in the middle that is styled so that it creates a crest. In a reverse Mohawk haircut, you leave the sides intact while shaving off the center part of your hair.
