Here are some pictures of my first “real” full cap mohawk.
This is still an experiment in progress, but I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. I have two more units that I am going to convert to mohawks and I plan to experiment with try different hair lengths and base sizes to see what looks best.
Some notes on this project:
- The base on top doesn’t completely cover my balding area. I have to keep it shaved close to maintain realism. A tan helps hide this. I know I’m the only one who notices this though, so it isn’t a deal breaker.
- This unit is very easy to attach. I use blue liner tape at the nape and on the sides up to about mid-scalp. I attach it from the back to the front just like I do my regular full caps. Once the unit is taped in place I mark the outline of the hairline, flip it back, apply two coats of glue, allow the glue to dry, and lay the unit down into the glue.
- I’m still trying to get used to walking around with a mohawk, but I have gotten a lot of compliments on the new style. I think I will stick with it for awhile.

I can’t figure out why, but I think I prefer the Halloween mohawk. Was the Halloween hair cut shorter?

Yes, the Halloween mohawk was cut with the longest clipper setting (3/4″??). I liked the look of that unit but it was way too think in the back. I will probably cut at least one of the remaining full caps that I have left to convert into a short style. The density is correct on both of them so it should come out looking good.

Glad the RemySoft system is working out for you. I know you have only been on the game for less than a year, but if you keep using all three products consistently and take a few precautions such as the satin pillowcase and a water filter, your units will probably be able to at least double the life of your units and you probably won’t have to worry about correcting the color. I will get with you on the guest blog thing. Love to have more content.
