Mohawk?

I've seen plenty of pics from the early 90's, but only recently has it occurred to me that that was a mohawk he was wearing. Who else sees it that way? It's kinda hard to tell and I wish I was there to see him to figure out for sure.

If you get a chance, check out the long-form Cream video (as seen on the VHS D&P video) - you can see him *without* it done up.

I dunno what sort of products he was using to keep that thing erect and stationery, probably the same as Marge Simpson.

before I found out it was called the "typhoon" by fans I always
called it a mohawk. Especially when it looked like it did in the 7 video.
If you will, so will I

I thought it was looking pretty cool until around '93. The finger waves just killed it.

Yeah, you can't really call that 'do a mohawk. A mohawk is when the sides are shaved completely leaving a central raised area of hair along the top.

Just buffing your hair upwards doesn't count.

Named, I believe, after the Mohawk native americans who wore their hair like that.
