Emo Hair: Haircuts For Boys

Everyone has heard about emo hair, its pretty hard to avoid it when the internet is plastered in photo's uploaded by young emo's trying to share their individual images. But it's quite difficult to find any advice on how they achieve these gravity defying hair sculptures. Well here is an easy to follow guide for boys looking for an emo haircut.

First grow your hair down real long, so that it starts to cover your face. If your starting from it being short it's going to be a pain, but, but use the experience to fuel some poetry or something.
Once it's long enough you need to wash it with a good shampoo and conditioner otherwise its gonna get easily damaged once you start straighening it.
If you've got curly hair you're gonna need to set the straighteners to a high temperature, but not too high or you'll just get noticable amounts of frizzy hair. And that's just so lame.


Then you need to sweep your fringe over to one side, so its covering one of your eyes, and style your side bangs to go past your chin, to form a frame for your face. This'll make your face look more slender, and just, well, just more cool.

Now you need to dye it all black, otherwise any colours you put in won't stand out as much as you're going to want them to. Now think of your fringe as like a canvas for you to, paint your emotions, or individuality on, or something…
You could use bright contrasting streaks of colour to try and convey they aggression you see in the world.

Now if you want, you could get some good styling gel and spike the back of your hair up. The media have labelled this the gunshot wound. It looks like this from the side, pretty, pretty sweet huh?

And there you are, now you look like a true emo boy, a mean scene kid or scenester, or like whatever, I don't believe in labels.
