‘Emo’ is a term used a counterculture and is also an abbreviation of the word ’emotional’. Defining attitude, Emo is also a fashion hailing from emocore or emo music, which is a combination between hardcore and punk music.
While Emo clothing is all about tight jeans on either sex, hair must be long fringes or bangs, jet black and straightened. Here’s how to achieve that Emo look with your hair:
Firstly, you must let your hair grow in the front and side as well, so it covers your face. The back could be kept short to spike with gel. As your hair grows, keep combing it towards an eye, in a direction that you like. Once it’s grown, get a professional hair dresser to thin it out and trim so you achieve the right shape.
The next step is to get a hair iron or straightening gel. Remember to use plenty of moisturizer to prevent hair from getting damaged. Remember, frequent washing of hair with shampoo can also lead to dry and damaged hair.
The color of your hair is all important when it comes to Emo hairstyles. You must dye your hair jet black. You could experiment with other colors, but keep in mind it is not that ‘cool’ in Emo culture.
Once your hair is at a length you desire, make regular visits to your hair dresser to get your hair thinned out and to maintain your Emo style.
