Short & Spiky – this type of Mohawk haircut style is for short hair and is achieved by cutting the sides and shaping the short top hair also into spiky pointy strands.
Horses’ Mane - this type of Mohawk hairdo resembles the helmets worn by the Roman gladiators in some vintage movies or as the name indicates, like the mane of a horse flowing down the hire’s back. The only difference is that Mohawk hair is worn on the head.

Hairstyles to Match Glasses
Hairstyles to Match Glasses 2011 Tips
When choosing a hairstyle there are other factors to think about other than your hair to ensure that you get the best results for your chosen hairstyle – the shape of your face, your make-up, clothes, accessories and if you’re wearing glasses your glasses or the frame of your glasses. Wearing glasses, and taking them on and off surely messes up a hairstyle making it difficult to maintain a fabulous hairdo. But there are ways to team up your glasses with your hairstyle, you only need to learn how.
When you visit your hairstylist, bring your glasses with you to make sure that your hairstyle will harmonize with your glasses. Here is the rule: when your glasses have soft frames choose a bold look, when your glasses have bold frames choose a soft look.
If you are wearing bangs, make sure that it is well maintained. Bangs go very well with glasses but bangs should be kept above the glasses for a neat look. Bangs are great with light frames so stay away from frames that are too large or too heavy or dark.
The color of the frame of your glasses should also match or complement your hair color. For brown hair, metal or dark frames will look good, for light hair, particularly blond hair light or metal frames will be best while redheads can get away with any color apart from yellow or white.
Hairstyles or hair cut should be kept in balance with the glass frame. Hairstyles that require pulling hair away from the face or hairstyle that provides volume will have to be brought in line with the additional attention that glasses draw to your face. Glasses can be used to either draw attention to or deflect attention from the hairstyle. Short hairstyles are the ideal hairstyle to flaunt your glasses. On the other hand, hairstyles that draw the hair off the face will complement any type of frame. For hairstyle with bangs, sweeping bangs to the side will keep the hair away from the frame. While a side part matched with square glass frames will be flattering. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Then there are bangs. Sideswept bangs and blunt cut bangs are the most popular. Keep your bangs sleek and straight for the best effect, even for those who have hair that is curly.
The pixie cut and bob have made a comeback. The bob is a great haircut for those who are looking for something new, but not too harsh and retain a bit of length. However, if you want to just chop it all off, you find a good stylist and work with your features to create your very own perfect pixie cut. Pictures Copyright of PR PHOTOS
Teased Hairstyles
Teased Hairstyles
So you’ve learned how to tease your hair and you are thinking about what styles you can do with teased hair. But you’re drawing a blank and you really, really want to try something new. So the question is—how exactly do you go about finding what teased hairstyles that you can do? Here are two examples of teased hairstyles:
Teased Hairstyle by Paris Hilton
First of all, you have the rockabilly. The rockabilly is a kind of chic, kind of grungy look, but it can work for everyone from the girliest girl to those who are not so girly. First, you need to take your top layer of hair from the crown back and tease it into a poof. Sounds simple enough. Next, you need to use a brush in order to smooth that part of your hair so that it doesn’t look like a rat’s nest. Afterwards, take the time to style your hair the way you want. You can curl the remainder, put waves in it, or you can leave it in its natural state, whatever that may be and then put it in a ponytail.
Then there is the scene hairstyle. Comb your bangs forwards and to the side. From the crown back, tease your hair up into a poof of whatever poofiness that you desire. Tease down a tiny bit from the crown and then continue to comb downward to smooth. Smooth the poof as well, being careful to get the bottom part of the poof really well, since they are prone to sticking up/showing the teased part. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS
