Emo Hairstyle Basics

If you have been wearing your emo for a while and it‘s time for a change, consider the possibility of adding highlights, streaks, or coloring the bangs to achieve it. In fact, coloring the bangs in a spectrum of shades that range from light to dark or vice versa is a real eye catcher.

Popular colors for highlights currently tend to be red or purple. Highlighting the layers on long emo haircuts is also another popular styling technique. The shaggy and uneven nature of an emo haircut necessitates that you use a color that will show through your base coat, if you decide to highlight your hair. Usually, a brighter color than the base coat is all that you need to show off your style.

One of the most common emo hairstyles is to dye the hair jet black and styling it with long bangs. Other popular colors include blue, red, and purple. In fact, the more unnatural the color is, the better some people like it. Everyone who decides to go with an emo hairstyle does not decide to dye his or her hair. Many people are now keeping their natural colors and simply adding highlights to it.

No special hair styling equipment is necessary fro an emo haircut. However, if you need to straighten your hair for the right effect, then you might need to obtain a hair straightener or iron if you don‘t already have one. Plus, if you decide that you want to shear one side of your head, then you will need to purchase electric shears.
