Going asymmetrical (short on
one side and long on the
other) is yet another way to
go Emo with your hair, but
the spiky/jagged ends look
is just as popular with
youngsters. To keep the
spiky look, generous use of
gel on wet hair followed by
hairspray (for holding the
style) is called for - and
voila! There's a whole new
you - with just a bit of
experimenting.
For a fashionable yet
unfussy Emo hairstyle, you
can opt for a lift at the
crown and get your hair
swept up and back, pinned to
the side and leave stray
strands to fall like a
curtain. You can complete
this asymmetrical look by
letting one side of your
hair be styled pointy and
the other left straight and
free falling.
Instead of adding bangs, you
can also opt for streaking
your hair or simply
enhancing their color with a
few highlights strategically
divided between fringes or
main cap of your hairstyle.
Choosing a wide range of
dark to lighter shades or
the other way round is a
neat tip given by salon
experts for people who are
looking to go the Emo way.
They suggest deep reds,
blues and purples for
highlights, a trendy styling
technique or similar deep
colors that allow the base
coat to show through,
especially if you are
deciding between shaggy,
uneven Emo style to your
hair or keeping your natural
hair-color and only adding
dark tints to the smooth,
ironed out Emo look.
To make your hair more
pliable and set it according
to Emo trends of your
choice, dry shampoos
available at the local
chemist are a cheap and
cheerful bet. So, get
creative and express
yourself with Emo hairstyles
to fit every mood out there
- all it requires is a
little imagination and a
dollop of attitude. (Oh yes,
did we mention the
hairspray?)
