Most Popular Emo Hairstyles

Emo, short for "emotional," is a hot style for teens' hair. Each cut is as individual as the child, offering only angles and shapes as a guide.

Long Shag

The most recognized emo cut, the hair is cut into medium layers on top while keeping the length underneath. The hair is swept to one side and volumized using gels and hairspray.

Medium Bob

The hair is parted on one side, and cut to one length just above the shoulders with jagged edges. Styling gel applied at the roots gives lift and volume.

Short Sweep

This style is achieved by cutting the hair to approximately four inches long all over the head and combing forward and to one side. Applying gel holds the sweep in place.

Thick Bang

The top of the hair is combed forward from the crown and cut at eyebrow level. This look can accompany both long and medium length hair.

Fun Facts

The emo girl's hair most often has a black or dark brown base with added splashes of bright colors. Small colorful hair clips are useful to accessorize or hold hair in place.
