What are dreads? How are they different from Mohawk?

Dreads and Mohawk both have their origins in the history of the civil war. But history isn’t our concern right now, is it? Let’s discuss origins. Dreads are named after a local tribe in America whose warriors groomed their hair in a rope strand-like fashion. Since they were rebelling against the government at the time, they were a threat. Since then and especially in the late 19’s this trend rose again and those who wear it were considered cool and rebellious. Now you know why it was popular.

Mohawk hairstyle shares a fairly common origin. Native Americans who inhabited the mohawk valley wore this type of hair. It was a symbol of agitative and anarchist nature. But nowadays, wearing it is a definition of exploring and pioneering your way across finding your personality.

Or the other popular opinion is that the dreads are dirty which can’t be farther from the truth as the maintenance that the dreads require, involves a fairly strict hair care routine. Anyone with proper knowledge about hair and fairly common information about growing dreads can grow it. It doesn’t matter white black. Hair behaves in a similar manner irrespective of what your origins are.

Mohawk hairstyle is relatively a simpler one. Ask your barber to trim down the sides of your head below 0.2 to a maximum of 0.5 inches, leaving a strong and dense strip of hair in the middle of the head.

This strip can now be spiked if it’s smaller or parted if your hair in the strip is long enough. This all boils down to personal preference.
