Q&A for How to Get Emo Hair

Wearing clothes and colors harmonious with a person's features can bring out their natural beauty. For instance, an older person who has started to get wrinkles can wear clothing with texture (like tweed or herringbone) to match the skin texture.

Tomboy style is associated with a relaxed style personality. You can wear jeans, T-shirts, and sweatshirts for a casual tomboy look.

Experiment with various hair colors. Keep an all-black style but make it slim versus skinny (a slim fit is narrow and straight while a skinny fit is tighter and tapered).

The best-known emo haircut, with shaggy bangs brushed over one eye, is called the emo swoop or the emo shag. Other styles include the emo long (a long cut with jagged layers) and the emo bob (a wispy, short haircut with asymmetrical bangs).

Getting emo hair is more a matter of cutting and styling than growing, although many of the popular styles are medium-length or longer. For most people, hair grows about half an inch (a little over a centimeter) per month, so you may need to wait several months if your hair is very short. If your hair is already medium length or long, you can start wearing emo hair immediately!

Yes, you can have emo hair in any color! Very pale, bleach blonde or pastel shades are popular, as are dark or jewel-toned hair colors.

To "train" your bangs to stay swept across your forehead/eyebrows, first decide where you want your part to be. A good guide is from the corner of your eyebrow back to the back of your head. Then, with wet hair, comb your hair into the style you want to achieve and use bobby pins to keep it in place as you sleep. After a few weeks, your hair should stay swept over by itself.

Just inform her/him that you want long bangs before the cut and styling begins. If the stylist doesn't know how to do this, then ask for one who does. If you have a particular style of bangs in mind, try to bring along a print-off of the image, or have it on your smartphone to show.

Straighten your hair first, then when you go and cut your hair, ask the stylist how to get your hair thinner (often by layering). This will help to reduce the curly volume and you'll be able to style it with greater ease.

Get a colored hairspray and use it on your bangs to see what it would look like. Then, if you like the look, you can dye your bangs in small sections until you achieve the desired effect.

Just ask them what they hate about emos and try to compromise on some aspect of your new look. Or, tell them you are going for scene or something else entirely. In fact, don't say it's emo, just say it's a new fashion statement.

Sweep a bunch of it to the side and use a lot of hairspray or where a beanie with it.

To make it "puffy", tease all of the hair on your head, then spray it with hairspray and let it sit for 4 to 6 minutes. Then, comb it back down with your fingers. Don't use a brush or comb, it will just hurt and make it flat again.

Consider adding some colored hair extensions or adding streaks to your hair with colorful hair chalk. This won't be a complete dye job, but you'll still have some colorful streaks. You can also talk to your mother again, and try to convince her that this is what you really want, and offer to help pay for the dye and hair cut.

Keep trying, because maybe there is something you aren't doing right . The best thing to use is hair mousse, hairspray, and a rattail comb.

It really depends on the amount and thickness of your hair. And it's normal that your hair gets knotty, you're actually creating knots and frizzing your hair to give it some volume.

This really depends on your style. Many would not take it that far down, but there are also those who find that they rather their hair like that verses shorter side swept bangs. As long as you like it, then it's fine.

You don't have to have bangs. Most emos prefer to, but you can still be emo without bangs. If you truly wish to have bangs, just have them on the eye you don't depend on as much. If you want though, you can put the hair under the glasses. Emo is more than appearance.

Tell them that you will be good and that it will make you happy. They will understand. If that does not work, explain to them why you want it and maybe compromise with them on how much emo it will look.

Everyone is born without bangs. You have to get bangs cut/styled out of your hair if you want them. It can help to train your hair to flow in a specific direction before cutting it. Before you actually go to get a fringe, grab a section of your hair, put it in the direction you want your fringe in, and style it this way every day. After a few weeks, it will naturally go to the side you want it to be on. Then you can go and cut your hair (ideally at a hairstylist, but there are tutorials to cut it yourself as well).

Get it layered nicely, move some hair over to the side like a fringe, and do the things that have been mentioned in the article. It's actually not rare to find others with their hair cut to the chin.

Ask a trusted friend or hairdresser what color they would think would look good with your hair type, face, eyes, etc.

Your parents are the bosses, so if they say no, that's the end of that. But if you sit down and have a talk with them, explain how this would make you happy, maybe they would be willing to change their minds.

On the side that isn't shaved, ask your hairstylist to give you a swept fringe.

This works well on the fringe, but not so great on the sides.

Well, most emos like they're hair straight but if you don't want to straighten your hair then don't, you can still have the bangs.

Yes, all you have to do is use a bobby pin or hair clip and pin it to the side.

Frizz Ease almost always helps with split bangs. Use a fine tooth comb while applying it and you should be good to go. If not, you could try using more conditioner while showering.

Speak to your stylist about it, they might be able to adjust the cut for it to compliment your hair length. You could also look around for a similar style that would work better for your hair, if you're up for it.
