Short Emo Haircuts for Girls With Bangs

The short emo haircuts for girls with bangs are usually uneven and irregular styles that are easily achieved. With a foundation of jet black hair, bold, colorful highlights and a refusal to conform to the current trends in hair salon styles, there are several styles of short, emo haircuts for girls with bangs.

History

Emo is a genre of music that originated from hardcore punk. Emo haircuts are influenced by the spiky punk haircuts of hardcore punk rockers. Today's emo is heavily influenced by pop punk music and emo has evolved into a way of life, a profound, artistic culture as well as a genre of music.

Facts

"Emo" is short for emotional and is used in reference to the emotional punk movement. This movement is defined with its own attitude, values, fashion and hairstyles. Short emo haircuts for girls with bangs do not require a professional hairstylist. Emo haircuts are most often experiments created on your own or by friends to achieve a look that stands out from the crowds.

Types

Short emo haircuts for girls with bangs are layered styles that appear shaggy and often spiky. To achieve the shaved emo haircut, shave all of the hair in back using electric shears, and leave hair only on the top and the sides. Shave off all of the hair with the exception of the bangs, for another style of emo haircut. Although much of the hair is shaved off, the bangs are cut with a razor or scissors into an asymmetrical swoop hanging down the front of the face.

Features

Girls who want to achieve an emo hairstyle will usually dye their hair jet black. Having a natural look is not a concern--the bolder the look the better. Sometimes, the ends of the hair are then dyed in either bright pinks, purples or blue colors to show through the black dye. Many short emo hairstyles feature a long, triangular bang that is brushed to one side. The long bang usually covers one eye and gives the hair a lopsided appearance. To create a spiky emo hairstyle, use the most potent gel available. Work a gel through your wet hair and tease out the bold effects. Dry your hair and add more gel until the spikes are super stiff. The look requires a stiff head of hair that can't be brushed.

Considerations

A short emo haircut with bangs is easier for girls with straight hair to maintain. With curly or wavy hair, you must go to greater measures and spend more time to achieve the trademark emo look. Maintaining the look of your short emo haircut may require more styling time.
