Describe Emo Hair
Do you ever wish you had the ability to just say to a hairdresser "I want emo hair?" and they got it just like that? Unfortunately a lot of hairdressers don't know what emo hair really is. Here is a way to tell them.
Steps
- The best way to ask...is to show them! Search up on emo hair. Find a picture you like. Ask for an opinion from a friend or even people on the internet (use Yahoo Answers). Print off the hairstyle and approve it with your parent/guardian. Show it to your hairdresser. If you don't want it as long as in the picture...or you want the bangs to the left instead of the right or something, make sure you specify that.
- If you choose not to do that, ask for choppy layers. The basic emo haircut is just long hair cut in layers that are long on the bottom, and as you go up, shorter. Of course, this is optional, like all others, but you need at least a few of these to have emo hair. A traditional hairdresser may strongly advise you to go for less layers because it will become more "poofy" but that's kind of the point.
- Ask for a "fringe" or just side bangs. It's supposed to 'hide your tears', but most just think it looks cool. Its also a great place to dye your hair.
- Make sure they cut it with a razor comb, this adds the choppiness which is often found with emo hair.
- Another style is shorter or longer in the back. It doesn't really make a big difference. Shorter at the back and help get the traditional heart shape and longer at the back is better for sorter overall length.
- Ask to have it dyed. Possible colors include black, black with blonde, or black with anything neon (red is the main color). If you aren't allowed to dye, then just pick up some hair pieces from Hot Topic and slap 'em in!
- Be specific and MAKE SURE your barber understands what you want. Remember, you are paying them, not the opposite. Make sure you get what you want.
