Testing the webcam.

Maybe one day, if I'm feeling particularly offensive, I may post one that includes my face.

You're doing it wrong.

Don't use gel, use hair spray - gel has weight, and hair spray can be "frozen" with a hair dryer, or better, straighteners. I use Got2b's blasting freeze spray and it works a treat, don't bother freezing it. It also helps if you have thin hair like mine to back-comb the **** out of it until it can pretty much stand by itself, but it's not exactly good for your hair.

At that length doesn't it start to get an inconvenience? I mean I don't know how tall you are but at some point you're gonna start brushing against the ceiling no?

You're both wrong, for a propper Mohawk you either use Galatin (the stuff you use in cooking, comes in hard plates you dissolve in boiling water), or eggwhites, thease things will hold even the mightiest of 'hawks, normal hair products will not.

Buddy of mine used Knox gelatin to spike his hair once.
Came out so solid his hair could have doubled as a helmet

You won't get a better solution than copious quantities of decent hairspray. It's what most people use - I have a few friends who also have mohawks, and they also use hairspray and for the longer ones, backcombing. Egg whites also go flaky when they dry, so you'll be trailing "dandruff" all over the show. Gelatin does work, but it can be a real nuisance to get out afterwards, and it's considerably more effort - because you've got to keep your hair up while it dries, too. I'd use gelatin if I were at a festival or whatever, but usually my hawk will stay up for as much as three nights sleeping on it with just hairspray, and I'd just touch it up in the morning.

At that length doesn't it start to get an inconvenience? I mean I don't know how tall you are but at some point you're gonna start brushing against the ceiling no?

I'm only 5'4", so even if you whack another 12" on that I'm still not reaching ceiling height (with the notable exception of my bedroom, which is only 6'). Ducking through doorways isn't really much of a hassle, although your hawk can take a bit of bashing anyway, so I don't bother.

Sitting on something like a bus or a train is an entirely different matter, that get's annoying when you can't put your head back on the head rest.

yeah but **** that, having to spend half an hour to an hour to do your hair right is not ****ing punk.

Mohawks are one of the more labour intensive hairstyles, and they always have been, no matter what product you use to keep it up. Punk ethic has never really been lazy. With enough practice you can get one like mine up in 15-20 minutes, although I usually take about 40, because I'll be dossing about doing other stuff at the same time.

My mate used wood glue...

That's a really bad idea, because it's impossible to get it out afterwards. You can however use water soluble glues, so long as it comes out at non-scalding temperatures. Glues like some of the Uhu ones come out at about 40 celsius - but it's still an awful lot of work to get it out, and you'll probably lose a fair bit of hair in the process.

Or blind someone permanently in a public bus by stabing him in the eye.
