Haven't seen the picture, and could really care less how folks wear their
hair. That's their business not mine, though in business, it can become
problematic.
Personally, I've been working most of my life on a reverse mohawk, au
natural.
However, I don't know precisely when a mohawk conjured up images of weirdly
spiked hair. It's a pretty traditional hair do, taking its name from the
tribe that spawned the style.
Back in the dark ages, when I was but a school boy, one Chuck Self, came to
school sporting a mohawk. Nary a word was said about it. Oh, there were the
expected gawkings and no few chuckles (pun intended), but I recall precisely
no distraction that could be attributed to Chuck Self because of his hair
do. Chuck, hisownself, could be a distraction, but nobody cared how he wore
his hair.
