How do I say that someone has spiked hair?

Question

I have to describe someone's hair, and I'm saying that "his hair is always spiked." i started my sentence with "su cabello siempre es..." but i can't find the word for spiked hair!

Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

How about "su cabello siempre tiene puntas?"

---

Punta

1. Point, the sharp end of an instrument (extremo puntiagudo).
2. Extremity of anything which terminates in an angle; top, head, summit; point, prong, nib, tip.
3. Point, headland, promontory.
4. Prong of an antler.

wouldn't it be "puntos" though since "su cabello" is masculine? - Aniram, Sep 27, 2009

Answer 2

IF you are asking about a mohawk hairstyle, here is an outside discussion with several guesses... it doesn't appear that anyone has complete confidence in their response, or rather, there are quite a few responses to choose from. what is "mohawk" in Spanish?

Perhaps I'm defining too rigidly your question though. Look forward to seeing more responses here.

not a mohawk style, but like Taylor Lautner's hair... - Aniram, Sep 27, 2009
