Article: You don’t have to change your hair color just because you want to start dressing emo, but if it’s important to you, there are lots of colors to choose from. Most emo hairstyles center around jet black hair, bleached blonde hair or some combination of the two.  If you have naturally dark hair, try adding some very light highlights. If you have naturally light hair, try adding very dark lowlights. You can also experiment with dying your hair different bright colors. Purple, red and pink are currently very popular, but you can dye your hair any color you’d like. If you aren’t ready to commit to a big color change right now or if your parents say you can’t, try experimenting with wash out dye.  You can also try streaking your hair, so the color is less aggressive. Or buy colored clip-ins and layer them amongst your natural hair color. The possibilities are endless! Yet again, you don't have to get a haircut, but you can if you want to look even more emo. There are certain haircuts that are strongly associated with emo culture. These haircuts include straight hair with very sharp cuts or hair cut with very dramatic layers.  If you have short hair, try a sharply angled bob cut. If you have long hair, try adding long layers on both sides.  There is a misconception that you can only be emo if your hair is straight. This is not true. Curly haired girls can be emo too. This is a popular emo hairstyle you can pull off even without getting a haircut. To do this, take a section of your hair from the back. Using your comb, backcomb or tease the bottom of this section until the crown of your hair has a little more volume.  Be careful not to tease too hard, or you might damage your hair. When the back of your hair is fully teased, wear your hair down, or throw it up into a casual ponytail. Bangs are a signature emo look for women. Bangs should be heavy and thick or styled into a fringe. Regardless of how they are cut, you’ll want them long enough to touch your eyebrows or possibly to hang over and cover part of your eyes. This will allow you to hide behind your bangs when you feel sad.

Dye your hair. Get a dramatic haircut. Tease the crown of your hair. Get bangs.
