Hot Emo Haircuts for Girls
The emo style of haircuts is a very popular look for girls. It is a look that was born out of emo or scene music. Emo hair is becoming more mainstream and now many haircuts have adopted the techniques and features that are signature to the emo style. Does this Spark an idea?

Angled Bob
-
All emo cuts have layers and are mostly straight. This goes for all hair lengths, even the very short cuts. Popular short styles for emo hair have angled, asymmetrical layers and are longer in the front and gradually become shorter as they go back. This cut allows for you to drape your bangs across your face and have face-framing pieces in the front, while spiking or back combing the shorter layers in the back. The disheveled "bed head" look is a main characteristic of emo styles.
High And Voluminous
-
No matter what length your hair is you can add short layers at the top so that you can tease it and spike it easier. A signature trait of emo styles is all of the shape and volume are at the top and taper down to a very straight and narrow bottom layer. The spikes don't need to stick straight up either, they can be haphazard and basically look like you just rolled out of bed. To get this look if you have short layers on top, straighten all of your hair and tease the very bottom right at the roots. Spritz with hair spray and hold the rest of the hair up until it sets.

Longer Shag
-
A very popular emo look for girls is the medium length-to-long shag. The cut is achieved by adding lots of layers that get shorter towards the top of the head. How many layers you have and how defined they are depends on how you want to style it. This haircut is versatile because you can tease it at the top to add volume or you can just straighten it out flat and add hair wax to give it texture.
The Bangs
-
Emo haircuts almost always feature long bangs that hang down in front of the eyes. They are cut long, thick, at an angle and are swept off to one side. If you don't want hair draping over your eyes you can still have the emo bangs by getting straight-across bangs that run along your forehead. Cut bangs thick, straight and even or jagged, or choppy and uneven. Another option is straight-across bangs that have a slight angle to them.
Ponytails And Pigtails
-
If you like to pull your hair back out or style it in an up-do you should definitely choose a longer medium length emo haircut. You can still style it by teasing at the scalp, adding hairspray or working in some hair wax for texture and then pull it back in a messy ponytail or pigtails. You can also put your hair into two buns on the sides of your head. Experiment with the placement of your ponytail--try a side-pony. To finish up tease the top of the ponytail to add more volume and texture.
