Did mohawk women have mohawks?
I guess you are referring to the so-called "Mohawk hairstyle" that many people today incorrectly believe was worn by the Mohawk Iroquois. This idea is totally false, so forget everything you ever heard about Mohawk native Americans wearing their hair like that. Unmarried Mohawk women and girls, like all the Iroquois group, wore their hair long and loose; married women wove it into one large braid at the back, doubled up and fastened with a buckskin strap. Mohawk men either wore their hair long and loose, or cut in a fringe at the front, or shaved all the head except for a round scalplock at the crown (back of the head), with a roach of dyed deer hair attached with a bone "spreader", to which was fixed a single feather. Nothing like the modern "Mohawk" hair style, which no historic Mohawk Iroquois would recognise.

What clothes do the mohawk wear?
Mohawk men wore breechcloths with leggings. Mohawk women wore wraparound skirts with shorter leggings. Men did not originally wear shirts in Mohawk culture, but women often wore a poncho-like tunic called an overdress. Mohawk Indians usually wore moccasins on their feet. In colonial times, the Mohawks adapted European costume like cloth shirts and blouses, decorating them with beadwork and ribbon applique. Here is a webpage about traditional Iroquois dress, and some photographs and links about American Indian clothes in general. The Mohawks didn't wear long headdresses like the Sioux. Mohawk men wore traditional Iroquois headdresses, which are feathered caps with a different insignia for each tribe. (The Mohawk headdress has three eagle feathers on top.) Mohawk women sometimes wore special beaded tiaras. In times of war, Mohawk men shaved their heads except for a scalplock or a crest down the center of their head--the hairstyle known as a roach or a "Mohawk." Sometimes they augmented this haircut with splayed feathers or artificial roaches made of brightly dyed porcupine and deer hair. Here are some pictures of these different kinds of Indian headdresses. Mohawk women only cut their hair when they were in mourning. Otherwise they wore their hair long and loose or plaited into a long braid. Men sometimes decorated their faces and bodies with tattoo art, but Mohawk women generally didn't paint or tattoo themselves. Today, some Mohawk people still wear moccasins or a beaded shirt, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechcloths... and they only wear feathers in their hair on special occasions like a dance.
