Emo is the acronym of emotional and means emotional and sensitive. Emo hairstyles are an expression of your own sensitive personality, a defined lifestyle, and individuality. Use your own creativity and there is no limit to what you can come up with to wear Emo hairstyles.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use Different Cut Styles For Emo Hairstyles

    • Longer bangs, covering one eye or one other facial feature, is a signature style for all Emo hairstyles.
    • Emo hairstyles are longer in the front than the back.
    • Create layers for Emo hairstyles. Divide your hair into individual sections and cut them into layered lengths.
    • Layers can also be achieved by cutting hair downwards which creates a sleek look.
    • The front can have different lengths depending on the look you want.
    • Additional Emo hairstyles include having your hair all one length with major layers or cut one side very short while leaving the other side longer.

  2. Step 2

    Emo Hairstyles Color

    • Natural hair colors are not considered Emo.
    • The two main colors of Emo hairstyles are jet black (or blue black) or bleached blonde.
    • These colors are high maintenance so know there will be touch ups needed regularly.
    • Bright neon colors can be used as streaks, on the fringe, or as highlights.
    • The popular colors for the streaks are ash blonde or brown shades. All Emo hairstyles are individual so try green, pink, or blue, too.

  3. Step 3

    Maintain Emo Hairstyles
    • Wash your hair regularly.
    • Use conditioner that smoothes and relaxes your hair to maintain the sleek look.
    • Apply a hair coat to increase the shine.
    • Stay away from any hair clips or binders which would cause unwanted waves.
    • Regular trims are necessary to maintain the look of Emo hairstyles and prevents split-ends.
    • Touch up your coloring as needed.

Tips & Warnings
  • Emo hairstyles are about the individual and how you want to be seen. Take chances and let your emotional and sensitive attitude show.
