Emo Hair and Fashions

What is emo, exactly? Emo is an abbreviation for emotional, and is considered an attitude and fashion statement based in emocore, or emo music. The culture of the emo people began development in the early 90’s and is still in the height of its ever growing popularity today.

Emo haircuts for the medium length hair include brushing the hair from the crown of the head forward, and having long bangs with long sides as well. This used to be known as a “shag” haircut in the 60’s but the emo have commandeered the style and made it their own. This is great for any hair length above the shoulders.

Fashions in the emo world include tight pants on males and females, as well as a grunge appearance. Dark makeup on the eyes of both sexes, as well as pale skin and dark hair colors are a trademark of the emo culture. Pants on males are normally females’ jeans, bought a few sizes too small, and on females they should fit snug. Tee shirts of varying styles are accepted, with emo band shirts being the most popular.
Messy emo cuts are easy to emulate, as they are considered the ‘rock styles’ of the emo culture. This style includes the bump at the crown of the hair, moderately teased to create the bump. Brushing over the top layer of teased hair makes the bump appear less emo, so simply leave it alone. Add a stylish tiara in front of the bump for the most popular of all emo cuts.
