Emo is speedy becoming a popular trend, amongst the young. The term 'Emo' was originally coined to label a particular genre of music. The followers of this musical genre began to take note of their favorite musician's style & appearance, giving birth to those more commonly known as 'Scene Kids'. The similarities between rock & punk music, also lend to the emo style.
Emo hairstyles are as important as what threads to wear. The typical emo hairstyle will be noticeable & that is how they like it. It is an art of addressing the inner self - showing that a person is not afraid to experiment or to be seen as 'different'. Emo babies love to get creative & this applies to everything from the hair, to the clothes & accessories.
Most emo hair is primarily black in color, some with added flashes of pink, purple, red or any bright color for that matter. Choosing to go black is probably a way to complement the clothing which is always black. The most popular style for girls right now is to wear the hair down with long bangs swept over five eye, as if they wished to stay partly hidden.
The idea behind an emo cut, is to be unconventional. Pick wild over tame. Five of the best ways to accomplish this look is by having a cut that is not symmetrical. Mullets are a perfect example. Whether your hair is long or short, the possibility is there to generate a mullet. A mullet is typically defined by shorter hair on the top & at the front, with longer hairs to the back. Or you could go vice versa, a bob which is long at the front & gradually becomes shorter toward the back, is a feminine cut that will accentuate your facial shape & features - like a frame. As well as the cut, adding highlights in random places will give a slightly distorted effect.
For anyone thinking about an emo haircut, the objective here is to be unique. It doesn't mean that you cannot look at the styles of fellow emos, but try to apply changes that would suit your face shape & personal preferences. You don't need to appear false, so go with something that is simple in the beginning, something that you are comfortable with as well as a cut that allows for experimentation & variation to take place as you become more confident.
Get messy! Punkish elements in the Emo haircut are 'bed head' looks & spikes. contrary to popular belief, getting the perfect 'bed head' look requires high maintenance. Emo girls load themselves with a variety of gels, mousses & the like for optimal experimentation as well as a look that will last throughout the day.
Plenty of girls are reaching for the scissors & attempting to cut their own hair or that of a mate. If you think you are capable then give it a go! It doesn't matter if you cannot cut straight because that is exactly what you don't need! I would personally recommend visiting a trusted hairstylist for the initial cut, they will be able to give advice on how to maintain the look so that you can trim it yourself the next time.
