Emo Hairstyling for Girls

Emo style is that shaggy dog, just tumbled out of bed look. On everyone it looks different. The style is sexy, playful and unique. Emo style is about creativity and versatility. But there is a secret to emo style. Emo style is defined by each spiky tendril, unkempt and loose sweeping strand, but to truly effect a striking result that sets you apart from everybody else what you should know about an emo hair style beforehand is that emo hair looks unruly, but actually is a high maintenance and strategically styled creation. Emo hair styles works on all hair lengths from short buzzed hair to long and loose. It can be a shag with lots of layers, an asymmetrical cut or shaved in the back. You can have eye length, or layered bangs that softly frame the face, you can create your own unique emo sweep at the front, or sport a long, peek-a-boo fringe brushed to one side. Radical colors are a perfect way to redefine the emo hairstyle; deep, rich and contrasting colors, highlights in unusual colors, thick streaks of color and highlights at the tips add dimension to your style. Emo styles work well with many face shapes but in some cases emo styles don't work well with a round face. Layers and strange cuts can be hard to maintain. For a more sculpted emo look the cut should always be done by a professional. You can bring a picture of your favorite emo hairstyle and discuss your personal preferences with them. Discuss your expectations.

Have a clear picture of the hairstyle you hope to effect. Be clear about what you like or dislike. Make sure your hairstylist is familiar with the emo hairstyle. Discuss what your hair routine will be. How much time will be spent in styling your hair? What products and tools will you need to maintain your style? Ask your hairstylist to show you how to style it. Styling methods depend on the texture of your hair. To get hair straight use a flat straightening iron or get your hair professionally straightened. Blow drying can create volume or straighten depending on your technique. For volume, blow dry upside down to create lift. Use a round brush on the underside of the hair and draw the hair away from your scalp. For straightening, direct the blow dryer downwards and pull the hair tact and close to the scalp. Semi-permanent color should be used for change and versatility. If your hair is fine, use a silicone-based hair spray. Try a strong, medium or light hold aerosol spray to see which works better depending upon the texture of your hair. Gels and mousses are used to define spikes, tails and layers. With thicker hair you can use styling wax, clay or mud. To add shine apply pomade or a silicone based gel. If your hair tends to get frizzy use an anti-humectant pomade before and after you dry it. Emo is versatility and you can create a style that is uniquely your own. but remember in the end with emo hairstyles it is your own individuality that creates the style. By Leslie Davis
