The mohawk is one of those looks that never goes out of style It works for everyone – men and women, boys and girls. The kids mohawk haircut is especially cool, demonstrating a precocious sense of style.
The mohawk can be cut at any age. It even works for toddlers, as soon as they have enough hair. By preschool and beyond, it may be the haircut of choice.
The mohawk may not go out of style but it does get updated according to changing trends. Right now, spikes are matte and textured instead of shiny and hard. Mohawk fades are always popular and can add different hair designs or necklines.

The mohawk can be short or long, narrow or wide, straight or curly, worn up or down, and works for boys or girls. Check out these classic and trendy ways to wear the kids mohawk haircut.
