The punk hairstyle is characterized by two distinct looks: the Mohawk and the Mohican. The Mohawk is a style of haircut in which the sides of the head are shaved, leaving a strip of hair running from the forehead to the nape of the neck. The Mohican is similar to the Mohawk, but with the addition of a long, central strip of hair that stands up from the scalp. Both styles are often associated with punk culture and have been popularized by musicians such as Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten.
