Function
-
When the emo look first appeared, people tended to wear it shorter with dramatic layers but the latest styles work better with long hair. But don't be mistaken, the look is all about uneven shapes and the main focus of any emo cut are the bangs.
Trend
-
The focus of emo haircuts for long hair are bangs that drape across the forehead, accentuated by layers that are much thicker on the crown of the head.
Girls tend to wear the hair down to the middle of the back with long, thin layers that play off the extreme fullness at the top of the head.

Get it Straight
-
One of the main features of an Emo hairstyle is that it needs to be pin-straight. Whether razor cut or worn very long, the layers are usually straightened with a flat iron and the bangs styled extremely straight and draped either across the forehead or in a sideswept fashion. Emo haircuts, for the most part, are not curled.
To Dye For
-
Some people prefer to dye their long emo haircuts a dramatic platinum, red or jet black to accentuate the drama of the cut. Others may only dye the underneath layers of the hair or choose to highlight the bangs.
Play Up the Drama
-
Emo hairstyles work best on those with long hair who aren't afraid to take chances. Frame your face, wear a heavy bang, razor cut, or punch up the color. Emo is short for emotional, so this haircut isn't for those who play it safe.
