What does "Mohawk" mean? (Radical from lv 21)

Hi guys,

I already tried to look it up on the internet but I can’t seem ton understand the meaning of this radical. Is Mohawk a object?

Did you try an image search?

It’s a hair style, where both sides of the head are shaved, leaving a stripe of hair down the middle that is usually spiked upward.

The Mohawks were a native American group who wore their hair this way, or so I learned in school.

Indeed. Though, to be fair, I think the mnemonic that mentions “something old on your head” is talking about the hairstyle, but I suppose it’s not impossible that they mean a person. Kind of rude when they say “it” later though :slight_smile:
