The Girl's Guide to the Emo Look

This isn't the first time that the world has seen the emo look. Truth be told, it has been around for more than a decade already but this is the first time that it has become a widely appreciated fashion trend. Originally, only a select few would want to be caught dead in skinny jeans, faded sneakers and body hugging shirts. These days, however, everyone is clamoring to make the look blend into dignified society.

Fashion magazines have started resurrecting the look and even going so far as prescribing age-appropriate emo hairstyles for girls. It's interesting how the emo hair has become one of the most popular trends today when it was all but ignored before. In any case, pulling off this look is pretty simple especially if you're in your teens to twenties. Thirtysomethings may have a harder time trying to wear this type of hairstyle but feel free to try it anyway.

The look

The emo hairstyle for girls usually consists of very long fringe bangs swept to one side. The hair can be worn long or short but is generally shaggy and dyed a jet black. Straight hair works great with the emo look. The most common cut is shoulder-length with uneven layers that frame the face.

As earlier mentioned, jet black is the usual emo hair color but if you're a bit adventurous, you can also go ahead and try subtle highlights. Light blonde will also look good on the hairstyle.

Many girls tend to go for the longer emo hairstyle rather than the short one. For the most part, a longer hair is easier to style and dress up according to one's mood. You can let it down or tie it up in a loose ponytail. For those who have the misfortune to have naturally wavy or curly hair, an anti-frizz serum would do wonders in helping you pull off the emo look. Just keep your hair as smooth as possible and make sure your bangs look well maintained and you should be good to go.

Many young/teen women use their hair styles to express their emotions and attitude, and emo hairstyles for girls are just as popular these days as those among young emo men.
