Mohawk men shaved their heads with the exception of a scalp lock or crest down the center of their head. The style was known as a "roach" or "Mohawk". They often splayed the hairstyle with feathers,dyed porcupine quills and deer or badger hair. The hair cut may have served as a style to designate warrior status or as a means of taunting the enemy, reducing the amount of hair available to grab in hand-to-hand combat or as a form of ceremonial symbolism.
