Straighten it first. I reccomend getting a Helen of Troy Professional Gold Series straightener from Sally Beauty Supply. It's like $20-$25 but works amazingly. Then afterwards, use lots and lots of gel. I think you can get gel specifically made for mohawks. Try Hot Topic of Spencer's Gifts. Depending how high your mohawk is going to be, you might need something stronger. I've heard of people using reagular glue, but I'm not sure how good that is for your hair or how easily it comes out. If it's only a couple inches, then regular gel should work. Apply a little bit, style it, wait until it dries, then apply some more. Keep doing that until there aren't any parts that fall down or anything.
Here's my answer to a similar question about keeping hair straight: "How can u make your hair super straight and will last for the whole day?"
Get a Helen of Troy Professional Gold Series hair straightener. I got it for like, $20 at Sally Beauty Supply. Also use something in your hair before you straighten it, like Frizz-Ease (by John Frieda) on your hair before straightening it. It will protect your hair from heat damage and also protect it from getting frizzy if your outside in the heat and humidity. Also, never straighten your hair when it's wet. Always wait until it's completely dry. Put the Frizz Ease on right after you get out of the shower and towel dry your hair. When it's dry, pull your hair up in an alligator clip leaving some down, and straighten it little by little, using locks only about an inch and a half to two inches wide (depending how thick your hair is). When your done each layer, put it in a hair band and pull it off to the side before doing the next layer. It will take like, 20-30 minutes, but will last for days (as long as it doesn't get wet).
If you don't want to spend the $20-$25 on a straightener and want to resort to a cheaper brand, like Conair, get one with METAL plates. Avoid the ones with the ceramic coated plates, they don't work nearly as well even though the packaging makes it sound like it's better. Believe me. I've tried like, 10 different types and brands of straighteners and spent over $100 before coming across the Helen of Troy one and I'll never switch to another brand again, it's fantastic. It's a great investment for the money you spend on it. (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar4YGzUptDkf.4NYIae5vaLsy6IX?qid=20060726103858AAK0wq8)
