As anticipated, Emo hair fashion is back, so pull out your black eyeliner, dust off your worn-out checkerboard slippers, and pull out your studded belt. Additionally, this is the ideal moment to try out Emo hair fashion if you want to change your appearance. We understand your thoughts, but we can assure you that the Emo hair fashion of today is far different from the incredibly fluffy, deeply separated “does” you might remember from your MySpace days. Rather, the scene style is becoming more sophisticated, which makes this edgy (and nostalgic!) trend much more wearable than you might think. Scroll down if you need evidence.
Here, Sarah Bramham, a Redken hair artist and instructor, demonstrates her version of the elevated Emo hair fashion and discusses what to request while having this unusual haircut. Additionally, whether you are wearing this layered cut to work or hitting the mosh pit, we will reveal some styling techniques you must try.
An Emo hair fashion
The edgy look has a few distinguishing features, whether worn short, long, or somewhere in between. The first is that “[emo] hair has choppy layers that get very, very thin at the ends,” according to Bramham. Sharply angled layers may be applied around the face to create body and texture, and the top of the head usually has a lot of volume. Furthermore, according to her, there is usually an “asymmetrical bang that goes across one eye” (but, of course, if you want a more contemporary style, you can choose conventional fringe).
How Do You Request an Emo Hair Fashion from Your Stylist?
Bramham prefers to use the slide-cutting method when giving Emo hair fashion. This method includes creating layers and removing bulk by moving the cutting shears along the hair. In contrast, traditional layering removes bulk by cutting or snipping individual hair portions. When you are in the salon, ask your stylist for “plenty of choppy layers and short, face-framing angles” and airy, thinned-out ends, according to Bramham. Depending on how thick your mane is, they might use a razor to trim extra weight from your ends.
Maintenance For Emo Hair Fashion:
Emo hair fashion demands daily styling in addition to long-term care. Because the style is purposefully a little unkempt and unkempt, long-term maintenance is typically low. You should anticipate going to the salon for a haircut roughly every six to eight weeks, depending on how quickly your hair grows.
On the other hand, daily styling could take a little more effort. If your hair is not naturally voluminous, you will likely use a few style products daily to achieve this grunge appearance. More on that in a moment. Likewise, as previously said, this style is usually worn straight. Therefore, you might need to blow-dry or flat-iron your hair to have pin-straight hair.

Creating a disheveled texture and adding volume are key components of an emo haircut. For four style recommendations for your heightened emo “do,” continue reading.

Line up the roots and ends.
For the iconic emo girl look, you should straighten your hair if it is naturally curly or wavy. To help give your roots body and fullness, start by misting them with Redken Root Lifter Volumizing Spray.
After that, blow-dry your hair straight and apply a heat protectant, such as Redken Big Blowout Volumizing Heat Protecting Blowout Jelly, to your mid-lengths and ends. Because “the bigger the brush, the straighter the hair [will be],” Bramham suggests choosing a medium round-barrel brush for your blowout. You can also use a flat iron if your hair is not as straight as you would like after the blowout, but make sure your hair is completely dry first.
- Stress the volume
The modern Emo hair fashion is a little softer than the original, which was frequently mocked to the last day of its existence. Bramham suggests using Redken Root Tease Spray to spritz your dry mane rather than rough teasing, which may be harmful if done incorrectly.

Incorporate a striking hue
Since scene hairstyles are supposed to be unusual, this is the ideal time to experiment with unusual hair color. If you are willing to change your color scheme, your selections are endless. Use a face-framing Money piece highlight to add a flash of pigment, go wild with rainbow hair, or choose a pastel dream hue (pink is always a winner in our book). If you decide to dye your hair, do not forget to get a color-safe shampoo to maintain the vibrancy of your color in between touch-ups.
You have undoubtedly worn the clothes occasionally and rocked out to the music. However, are you prepared to fully embrace the “emotional” or “emo” way of life? The haircut of this subculture, which is mostly popular among angst-ridden teenagers, is one of its defining characteristics. A mullet-inspired haircut with sharp, razor-cut layers and a long, side-swept fringe (usually to the right, for reasons we Older People do not know) are characteristics of short emo hair. Usually dark—blacker than the hearts that misinterpret you—emo short hair occasionally features neon streaks or dazzling highlights.
1980s Men’s Hair Fashion Trends Rock Star Vibes
Short Emo hair fashion is reminiscent of rocker hair from earlier times, much like the scene hairdo, which draws inspiration from the shag. For the ultimate #sideeye, this style usually features a vast, eye-covering bang and a top-heavy, mullet-like shape. The length’s piecey texture, which is full of razored layers, is typically left to brush the area around the collarbone or nape.
Turn out the lights. Very Dark
Choose a hair color with a lot of contrast if you have not previously. This entails dying your hair platinum blonde or black in the style of a rock star. Since black hair symbolizes angst or a darker, more profound perspective, some people believe it is one of the primary features of Emo hair fashion. Others prefer to utilize streaking or punky neon accents to draw attention to their shade (because there is a light that never goes out). For the best effect, focus your streaks on the fringe or the layers close to your face, regardless of the situation.
Angled Blow-drying
Blow-dry your hair downward at an angle to make your fringe lay flat after washing. Since bangs dry the fastest, blow-dry bangs should be done first. For the ideal side sweep, hold your nozzle downward from your part line. Power-dry the remaining portion of your hair (or shake the nozzle all over) until it is 90% dry.
Use a Texturizing Agent to Finish
Nothing is more emo than short hair oozing with texture (and agony). To seal the deal, apply a texturizing product, like Suave Dry Texture Finishing Spray, to the fringe and side sections. For a more wet-looking finish, twist the product and run it through wet hair; for a jagged, punky vibe without the crunch, use it to dry hair.
Being yourself and experimenting with different styles are key components of emo hair. Two-toned hairstyles are a common Emo hair fashion. Choose a hairstyle like this, where half of your hair is black, and the other half is vibrant, like pink, if you want to stand out.
Side-Sweep Deep
Because shag haircuts include thick, jagged layers, emo hair frequently takes inspiration from them. A shag is the ideal approach to experiment with emo hair because it also gives your style a little edge.
