mohawk

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hairstyle' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'tips for marketing outfit to sell door to door' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'sell' could be 'hawk' (hawking is a kind of selling) and 'hawk' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
