Intricate Dutch Braid Mohawk Updo

11

For the girl who wants to show off her edgy, rock-and-roll side while still looking incredibly elegant, the Dutch braid mohawk updo is a showstopper. This hairstyle features a thick, voluminous Dutch braid running down the center of the head, creating the illusion of a mohawk, which then transitions into a beautifully styled bun or a cascading ponytail at the back. It is a powerful, unique look that pairs perfectly with modern dresses, metallic accessories, and bold makeup looks.

To create this edgy masterpiece, section off the center portion of your hair from your hairline to the nape of your neck. Create a Dutch braid (where the strands are crossed under rather than over) along this center section, pulling the loops outward as you go to maximize volume and height. Keep the sides of your head slicked back tightly to emphasize the mohawk effect. Once you reach the back of your head, you can gather the remaining hair into a textured messy bun, a sleek ponytail, or even a series of intricate twists.
