Various emo scene hairstyles
When you look at today’s teenagers and the way they dress, you can virtually see the myriad of fashion influences from all over the world. Whether it’s glamorous living or an outfit copied from a magazine, you also can’t miss the growing population of a certain “special” group of people: fans of the emo (short for emotional) scene. Emo fashion has truly become a casual scene on the streets. Defined by their skinny jeans, thick eyeliner, dark-rimmed glasses, handcuffs, cardigans, brooches, a pair or two of Converse all star low top canvas, the list can go on and on. The bottom line is that the emo scene has arrived and has brought its distinctive flavor and style.
Another distinctive look and definitely one not to be missed would be emo hairstyles. Stereotypical emo fashion would mean greasy hair days, but say no more! Today, emo fashion has increased even the awareness of fashion divas and divas themselves have also tried to check out emo style and fashion. With its popularity skyrocketing, even young girls can’t help but adopt this distinctive emo style. Following trends would always be the norm and these girls would be more than happy to try their hand at styling away from the normal EMO subculture that has been creeping into society for a long time.
As for the hairstyle, whether long or short, one thing is for sure, the razor-straight one-sided bangs lead the way. Another emo hairstyle would be the type where you dye your hair a richer, darker shade of color. The usual colors are black (brunette), deep red, deep reddish brown or even black with pink streaks. Of course, blondes also have a say when it comes to styling and giving new meaning to the emo hairstyle, but keep in mind that the more natural and lively it looks, the better. Anything far from that is no longer considered emo.
There are many popular variations of this style; it requires styling and sometimes a custom touch to top off the look. Teenage girls prefer shaggy hairstyle or as they call it emo shag. It still carries the basic element of sporting straight bangs on one side. For those who aren’t ready to give up their beloved locks just yet, the layered look can be a good start. Now, to add pizzazz to their new emo hairstyles, most of the girls spend a lot on hair products. This, so that they can achieve their desired look for the day, one that can capture their mood for the day.
Moving on, men have plenty of emo hair icons to choose from. There’s Frank Iero sporting his My Chemical Romance one-sided bangs, Pete Wentz with his short spiky emo hair, and Panic! Brendon Urie himself from At the Disco with old school touches added to the look. There are many misconceptions about this particular hairstyle, truth be told. The “oily hair” label is nothing more than a false accusation. The need to revitalize the hair from the excessive amount of styling products is necessary to keep it in shape. Men are not restricted to just combing their hair. There are plenty of toiletries that suit emo guys and girls alike. There are hair wax products made for men to reduce the risk of dandruff and all sorts of “male” toiletries. Truly, there are a million ways to wear these emo hairstyles. From old school to new school, from the classic greasy punk look to different Asian variations, it can definitely be said that emo hairstyles are in style and will be for quite some time.
