  I also remember punks resorting to egg whites and Elmer’s

  Punks actually just did that anyway, even back when the good hairspray was still plentiful. Everyone just had their own “best” method that they swore by: egg whites, school glue, Knox gelatin, I even knew a couple of gutter punks who put their mohawks up with spray paint. I used to use an extra thick hair gel that you could only find in places where they sold hair care products for black people. I think most people probably preferred the hairdryer and AquaNet method though. It was cheap, relatively easy, and it worked.

    My secret was simple: hairblower with the cheapest maximum hold spray.

    I would start at the base of my scalp and spray some hairspray and then with a comb, raise a spot of hair at a time while blowing hot hair on that spot.

    In less than 5 mins, my mohawk was ready and strong.

    When I wanted to go the extra mile, I would then cover the mohawk in hair gel and blow dry it just like I did with hairspray. My mohawk would stay straight for a few days and it was quite easy to wash. Good times

      I’m alternate reality croquette and I endorse this method.

      Only I didn’t use a comb.

        I have curly hairs, so the comb helped keep the hair straight, and kept my hand from sticking
