How to Look Emo

So you want to look emo? You have an interest in the music, the fashion, or the lifestyle? But you have no idea what 'emo' is? That doesn't matter! Here is how to attain that perfectly emo appearance, and maybe make it a little unique for once

Hair

Hair is a big part of the "emo" look of course. There are many emo-looking hair styles to choose from. Contrary to popular belief, not every emo has short, black, choppy hair (although this screams emo). Some of your abundant style choices include:

For girls - Long-ish hair, with abundant layers and even bangs, possibly chunks of bleached-blond sections and other colors, or dyed black.

  • A classic short bob, with or without bangs, black, dark brown, or platinum blond.
  • Pink/black/baby blue/bright electric green layered hair for girls is becoming popular. The top layer is usually cut pretty short and is made to stick out, spiked in a sense. You can even tease your hair.
  • Boys or girls - The classic black and short hair is better worn with long side-swept fringe(bangs)that can cover one eye. It especially looks good when the back is teased up with hair gel.
  • Think outside the box. Emo has its roots in the punk scene, and isn't just limited to black. Hair can be dark brown, black, blond, or any color you want -- as long as the cut is expressive of a punk rock culture and has a little a-la-emo flare. Wear super girly hair barrettes, bandannas, ribbons. It's up to you!
  • Add random barrettes and bows to your hair.

Makeup

  • MAKE YOUR MAKE-UP AS BOLD AS POSSIBLE
  • Applying lots and lots of eyeliner is an emo thing. All over the eyelids, under the eyes a little too. This is not a good look for adults, and less eyeliner should be applied when at school or work, or where 'scene' kids won't be abundant. Avoid looking like someone punched you.Apply moderate amounts to the bottem, and on the top dont't put it on the browbone.Instead choose a neutral shade for that area.
  • The emo look usually includes being as pale as your natural skin tone will allow, so get a whitening foundation of a super light powder. This isn't extremely important so don't go overboard with this.
  • Dark nail polish for girls is recommended. Black is normal but other colors such as dark green, dark purple, or even black and white stripes could work.

Clothes

  • Clothes make a huge statement.
  • Notice the girl's wearing skinny jeans.
    Black/Navy skinny jeans or opt for boot cuts. Wear with studded belt.
  • Dresses and skirts can be worn by girls if properly paired with Air Walk (shoes)and leg warmers.
  • A dark colored zip-hoodie is a classic must have.
  • Vintage-looking printed tees with random things like robots, Hello Kitty,dinosaurs, or any random icon that makes people think 'What in the world could that be about? Originality, or at least the illusion of originality, is the key.
  • Band Tees are a must have. It doesn't matter where you bought it from. Just scope out 'emo' bands, like Dashboard Confessional, Fio Twakey, Lungfish the Promise Ring, Braid, Cap'n Jazz, Thursday, Hot Water Music, Be aware that not all bands listed are considered "emo" by everyone. If you're more into punk or 'emotive hardcore' you can also try listening to bands that no longer make records (i.e. Texas is the Reason).
  • If you are shopping for hoodies, one really in emo thing seems to be "Invader Zim" merchandise. Try to get a dark coloured Invader Zim hoody. Nine out of ten times you'll find one at Hot Topic.

Emo Hairstyle 2008

Emo hairstyles are a great way to play around with your look. They allow you to have fun, be creative and unique. An Emo hairstyle treats your hair like a canvas; you have artistic freedom to express who you are, to show off your personal style almost like an art form.

Although there is a wide range of ways to wear an Emo hairstyle, they are often shaggy or spiky. A great sculpting gel will be a good addition to your hairstyling collection. The right hair products will allow you to mold and shape your Emo hairstyle the way you want it to go.

The gel that will be of greatest benefit to you will be one that is very strong with a long lasting hold.

Unlike many other hairstyles, with the Emo hairstyle, you do not need to own or purchase hair equipment such as curling irons or flat irons to maintain your style.

As long as you have good styling products you will be set. Gels and sprays are all that you will need to keep your Emo hairstyle looking its best. The best kind of gels make the hair actually stiff and able to spike up.





How To Style Emo Hairstyles
It is very easy to form your Emo hairstyle into spikes or a funky shag.
All that you need to do are-

1.Start with wet hair
2.Using your fingers work a generous amount of gel through your hair
3.Form your hair into spikes or shape your shag the way you want it
4.Blow-dry your hair
5.If making spikes, add more gel as needed
6.Do not brush your hair out
7.Spray hair well with hairspray for hold.

The beauty of an Emo hairstyle is how un-uniformed it is.

If you were to visit a salon for your Emo hairstyle and find yourself not happy with it later, you could always feel free to make a few adjustments yourself at home.

Although you can cut your own hair into an Emo hairstyle at home, sometimes it is best to visit a trained professional.

This is true even though many Emo hairstyles are asymmetrical and rather choppy.

This is because it is very hard for us to get a good view of how our hair looks from behind.

However, if you are insistent on doing your Emo hairstyle yourself, the good news is that it is impossible to make a mistake.

The whole point of the Emo hairstyle is a unique look unlike what anyone else has.
Therefore a mistake in your cutting could actually turn into an advantage in your Emo look.
