Mohawks generally have a pretty hardcore punk rock reputation, and you might not have previously considered this style. We’ve put together a collection of braided mohawk hairstyles to prove just how versatile the mohawk really is. From feminine twist looks to boldly woven styles, you can wear this style in any number of ways and find the look that best suits you.
Best Braided Mohawk Hairstyles
Opt for a style with an edge this season and check out some of our favorite mohawk braids.
1. Box Braid Mohawk
If you’ve been rocking box braids for a while and you’re getting tired of wearing your braids loose, simply weave them into a thick faux mohawk braid on the top of your head and secure the style in place with a hair tie. This style has a huge impact and is a great way to show off highlighted braids. Credit: @shortti3
2. Flat Twist Mohawk
If you’re a little hesitant about trying out a mohawk and you’re looking for an understated variation of this style, this twisted natural hair mohawk style is the best option for you. Use a flat twist technique to create a more subtle undercut effect. Credit: @christian_byshe
3. Giant Twist Mohawk
On the other end of the spectrum in the braided mohawk hairstyles department is something a little more drastic. We love this giant twisted mohawk and the way the sides of this look have been slicked back to ensure that none of the focus is taken away from this incredible mega braid.

Follow up with a rich cream, like SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Leave-In Treatment, which will leave your hair feeling extra nourished and soft right away.
4. Multi-Colored
Have some fun with your color and opt for a lighter high contrast hue. By opting for a golden blonde hue in your braids, you can achieve this blended contrasted style. It’s fun to change up your braids once in a while!
5. Braided Twists
Braid your twists into a large oversized mohawk. This combination style is one of our favorites! Give your hair a mist of Dove Style + Care Compressed Extra Hold Hairspray to keep your style in place. Are you thinking about trying out one of these styles?
