A type of hairstyle of which both side of the wearer's head is shaven, leaving a long strip of it down the middle of the scalp. Known and seen more when it is standing up due to gelling. Also known as a "Mohican," especially in Japan.
Mohawk also counts regardless if the hair is not standing straight up from the head.
The hairstyle is named after the Mohawk people, a Native American tribe, due to misrepresentation of their people in movies such as those from the 1930's. It's closer to a hairstyle that was worn by the Native American Pawnee people.
