Choppy Punk Emo Hairstyles
According to the Urban Dictionary, "[E]mo style is to wear tight pants, and a striped shirt; possibly with a sad expression on your half hidden face because of your dyed black bangs." The definition further describes how piercings and heavy eye makeup are also common. When it comes to hair, there is some overlap between punk and emo hairstyles, with emo being less extreme than punk hair. Does this Spark an idea?

Long Emo Hair
-
Long emo hairstyles usually involve lots of layers as well as asymmetrical bangs that cascade in a diagonal across the forehead. It's important to have a professional razor-cut your layers, because if you have long, thick hair, a lot of layers could make your hair look somewhat bushy, whereas the layers should always look sleek. You can dye your hair jet black and then add clips or extensions of brighter shades to give it a splash of color. Using clip-on extensions also minimizes the damage that repeated dyeing can do to your hair.
Short Emo Hair Styles
-
Girls or guys can wear short emo hairstyles. However, some of the more extreme emo hairstyles are more popular with guys. In the punk fashion sense, an extreme haircut is perhaps the Mohawk. With emo styles, an extreme style is a choppy razor cut worn with all the hair brushed forward so that the hair conceals the forehead via a thick pile of bangs. This hair almost conceals the eye completely. A variation of this style includes side-swept bangs that cover one eye, with back sections of hair spiked upwards.

Bangs
-
There is much to say about emo-style bangs, as they are an essential part of having an emo hairdo. Emo bangs are usually crooked and uneven, very long and cover parts or huge chunks of the face, adding a degree of mystery to the wearer of the hairstyle. Usually longer layers of hair surround the bangs with sections of hair nearly the same length as the bangs, giving the hair a shaggier appearance. In other styles, longer layers of hair or spiked pieces surround the bangs, giving the hair a dynamic appearance of contrast. Consider using hair glue or gel to keep the bangs and nearby sections in place.
