In a new interview with Juicy magazine, pop star Rihanna praises Gwen’s little child Kingston and idea when he rocked a mohawk last summer that it was “so cute”. She really went on to state that she was inspired by him and her mohawk phase was her version of King’s look! Who knew little boys were such fashion icons.
The sultry singer has sported a variety of hairstyles in the past, including blunt bangs, fiery red tresses, long wavy locks and an ultra-curly redhead look.
Probably her most popular styles was the edgy blonde Mohawk cut, and the star's hairstylist Ursula Stephen has disclosed the inspiration behind it.
"If I remember correctly, Gwen Stefani's son, Kingston, inspired this one. Ri demonstrated me a photo of him and we considered he was so cute with his Mohawk. So I just did my own version!" she announced in an interview with Juicy magazine.
Ursula has revealed how she designed the edgy look on Rihanna. The beauty wowed using the cut, and Ursula states the model is easy to re-create with the help of an expert.
"I created a sleek foundation by relaxing the hair with Motions Silkening Shine Relaxer System. Next, i cleaned and molded her hair. I designed the sides and back of the head with clippers, adding Motions Foaming Cover Lotion to the longer hair at the overhead and molded it upward and towards the right side of her head," she explained.
"She sat under a hooded hair dryer to set the model. Next, I curled sections of her hair in a backward motion, up and away from her face. I finished with Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade and Motions Hold and Shine Squirt to keep it set up."
