How to Create an Emo Hairstyle in 2008
Since, by definition, Emos are nonconformists, it’s hard to define what “the Emo hairstyle” looks like. However, to achieve the Emo look, there are certain characteristics that you should consider incorporating. 1) Regarding length: Men typically keep their hair longer than other guys, especially around the ears and front, in order to achieve the face-cover effect. Women’s length is either quite short or quite long–but rarely just “medium” length. 2) Color: Traditionally, Emos have dyed their hair coal black. More recently though, other colors have become popular. The rule now is anything outrageous: stark blonde, pink, blue, bright red, etc. Some will even opt for multi-color. 3) Bangs: The one thing that is almost universal are the swept bangs, that usually cover a large part of the face. Once you incorporate these three elements, it’s up to you to come up with your own unique variation on the Emo theme.
