Are You Ready for an Emo Hairstyle?

15Jun2009 Filed under: Hairstyle Author: Lori

Through the last couple of years, the people that have chosen Emo haircuts have increased substantially as the haircuts and styles that come with the state of mind have increased their merit in the world of fashion and hair styles. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Emo hairstyles – they have been popularized by teenagers throughout the globe and can be described by black, straight hairstyles that often make use of volume on the top and sweeping bangs for both the guys and the girls that chose to wear the hairstyles.

Although this has been a predominantly young hairstyle, there are many ways that you can make the hairstyle your own and create the versatility that comes with creating a hairstyle that can be an effective means of style and fashion for all ages. Simple foregoing the traditional black Emo hair color for a lighter color and choosing to take advantage of traditional hair colors, or your own natural color while making use of the popular layers which are created in the style and the volume that can be created with certain products can bring you up to date with this fashion forward style, rather than leave you looking like you do not belong in your age group.

Hi Rene,
Emo hairstyles can be easy to create with thin hair, as the layers which are used within the hair create the illusion of thin hair throughout the bottom of the style.
As for the volume which is created through the top, you can get this with a comb that is used to tease or back comb the hair and some great finishing spray.
My favorite hairspray to create the volume in my scene inspired hairstyle is Tigi Bedhead! It lasts all day long and into the night with ease.
Seeing your hair stylist and asking about Emo hairstyles is a great way to get this style!

Emo hairstyles can be created with thick hair simply, as they are often created with layered hair.

Blonde and Chocolate Highlights were used in different tones and variations to get this look. It’s a great unique look that takes advantage of “traditional” colors for hair!

Lulu,
Thick hair works for an Emo hairstyle, as the hair is often cut into layers and therefore the layers through the bottom of the hairstyle actually have the ability to create the appearance of thinner hair.
With thick hair you are actually even able to create more volume through the top of the style (:

Hi Ana,
There are many Emo hairstyles or emo-like hairstyles that can be created with many colors of hair. My natural color is dark brown, and I have had an emo-style of haircut with small changes for about the past year, to my shoulders. I think you should try it, the style is more powerful than the color in the style.
Maybe in the future you could experiment with color when you are more secure with the style, but for now – it’s a great way to take advantage of a trendy haircut.
Mandy,
I would find a young hairdresser that is aware of the current styles and that has attended hair shows and is aware of the techniques used to create a trendy emo hairstyle.
Although high-end salons often cost more, I find that the haircuts are often better, more in depth and last longer.
Hope this helps girls!
