EMO Hair Cut

EMO HAIR - the discussion

Hey friends. Does anyone know how to I suppose "make" or style emo hair? I'm dislike emo music with a passion but I really like the hairstyle. Okay, so my hair is thick and doesn't have any curls at all and when it grows, it grows outward and makes my hair look like a bush. so I keep it short all the time and that’s a problem because I heard you have to grow your hair long in order for it to look emo so can someone please help me? Thanks fellas.

"emo" hair is not a real style... basically let your hair get long... like down to your nose or so, then go somewhere and tell them that you want to look EMO, even though Indie and Hipster kids look the same (kinda just messy hair) most people like to call it Emo... Although Emo kids do everything from short buzzed hair all the way up to long locks with highlights in heir face... I say just do your hair how you like it... if you don't like the music why would you want to look like the people that play/enjoy it? seems pretty illogical to me, but it's your life.

Dye it jet black.
Dye it blond in the back.
Gel the front of your hair downwards.
Then take the back/blond part and spike it.

It looks like you're going to have to find a way to make your hair thinner/easier to style. Most emo hair tends to just fall straight down, not really sticking out. I've got me some emo-type hair, so I guess I should know.

Jordan - Tue, Dec 11th, 2007 "Emo" is not short for "Emotional." "Emo" does not mean Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, despite what MTV has lead you to believe in the last few years. "Emo" is not sidebangs, tight pants, and male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. "Emo" is not the use of diluted, meaningless metaphors and similes such as "My arms are like pinecones," and most definitely is not the rampant use of words such as "autumn," "heart," "knife," "bleeding," "leaves," and "razorblade." I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to p****off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bull****. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands." Now, onto the real definition. In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy. Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well ****, at least it's close. Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, f**k, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo." Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bull****, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap. Suck on that, idiots 1 | 0 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs

ashlen. - Tue, Dec 11th, 2007 omfg. this is all just labelling. EMO means EMOTIONAL. ever since one "emo" kid, so called, came along and started to listen to certain music and cut their hair a certain way and wore their close a certain way and did various things certain ways, they've been LABELLED as "EMO". my god, emo means EMOTIONAL. if somebody has mood swings, and is full of EMOTION, they are EMOTIONAL. everybody is saying that if you're emo you were black, you slit, you listen to depressing music and you are depressed. THAT'S A STEREOTYPE. this will set you straight. 0 | 1 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs

im emo. so what??? - Mon, Dec 10th, 2007 emo is just short for emotional. it doesn't mean a f****ing haircut. when you try to make yourself "emo" it's called prep emo, and people just end up looking at you weird. for the people who are really emo, it's a f***ing insult 1 | 0 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs

J - Mon, Dec 10th, 2007 umm you just need some serious bangs, or "fringe" and swoop them to one side and cut them on an angle, and for the rest of your hair, have it cut with a razor. Volumize the top of your hair also, but keep it long, you dont have to do this short spiky bullsh*t. Thats the basic style everyone refers to as "emo" or "scene" but more and more girls are getting this done and their not emo at all. If you ask me its the current style. Mushroom layered hair and parted bangs are now considered old fashioned 90's. Hope that helps 0 | 0 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs

Sami Skilson - Sun, Nov 25th, 2007 Well, there isn't a certain way you have to dye or cut your hair to be emo. Emo is based of strong emotional feelings to music, fashion, and such. You do not have to dye your hair blonde and black then spike it in the back to be emo. You make up the hair cut based on your emotion at the moment. It's not something you can just go and be like, "Yes! I would like emo hair please!" And do really tell the truth in my opinion, when you dye it with the black and blonde the do the spike ****, it makes you look like a total poser. So please keep that in mind. =] 0 | 0 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs

meg - Thu, Nov 22nd, 2007 "emo" hair is what you make it. have it long with layers, or have it cut short in the back and long in the front and spike it up! have fringe bangs, thats a must=] hightlights and multi colored pieces are also a really great addition. layers on the top are also a great way to get volume and spikes. have fun with whatever look you go with! hope i shead some light on your hair troubles=]]] 0 | 0 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs

Pro Suggestions For Short Hair Cut
Here are some techniques on how to cut your short hair as a professional stylist.

Short Hair Cut Style

Find A Great Hairstylist
It is not easy to find the hairstylist who understands exactly what you want to do to your hair. But the following simple tips will help you to get what you want:

A Quick Layered Haircut
It takes time, money, and talent to have your hair cut. To save any of these a little, just using an easy technique can give you a quick-layered haircut. This technique can be used on both long and short hair. By short we are speaking about shoulder length or shorter. Long hair would be considered anything longer than that.

Long Layered Hair Cut
It's a staple of the stylist's arsenal, and probably the most versatile and basic haircut in history. When you master the circle cut you realize how easily it can be modified to a wide variety of possibilities and looks. A short circle cut is sassy and bouncy, while a long circle cut gives volume to the style.

Medium Length Hair Cut
Medium Hair Cut Styles are quite versatile, as seen by the photos below. Layered hairstyles can be worn straight, with the help of hair care products, or they can be worn curly. Take a look below at the creative curly hairstyles. Creating these looks will require consultation with your hair stylist. The length of some Medium Hair Styles allows for even greater flexibility by being able to transform hair into a beautiful and stylist updo.
