Staff Answer
wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerGetting emo hair is more a matter of cutting and styling than growing, although many of the popular styles are medium-length or longer. For most people, hair grows about half an inch (a little over a centimeter) per month, so you may need to wait several months if your hair is very short. If your hair is already medium length or long, you can start wearing emo hair immediately! -

QuestionHow do I get my bangs to be swept across my forehead/eyebrows?
Community AnswerTo "train" your bangs to stay swept across your forehead/eyebrows, first decide where you want your part to be. A good guide is from the corner of your eyebrow back to the back of your head. Then, with wet hair, comb your hair into the style you want to achieve and use bobby pins to keep it in place as you sleep. After a few weeks, your hair should stay swept over by itself. -
QuestionHow do I tell my hairdresser to give me long bangs?
Community AnswerJust inform her/him that you want long bangs before the cut and styling begins. If the stylist doesn't know how to do this, then ask for one who does. If you have a particular style of bangs in mind, try to bring along a print-off of the image, or have it on your smartphone to show. -
QuestionWhat do I do if I have curly and thick hair?
Community AnswerStraighten your hair first, then when you go and cut your hair, ask the stylist how to get your hair thinner (often by layering). This will help to reduce the curly volume and you'll be able to style it with greater ease.

QuestionI want to get just my bangs dyed, but I think it might look weird. How can I dye just my bangs and get it to look good?

QuestionWhat if my parents don't like emo people because of how they look but I want to change my hair, and I need their permission?

QuestionIf you have really straight, medium long hair. How do I get my hair puffier?
Community AnswerTo make it "puffy", tease all of the hair on your head, then spray it with hairspray and let it sit for 4 to 6 minutes. Then, comb it back down with your fingers. Don't use a brush or comb, it will just hurt and make it flat again.

QuestionMy mother wont let me dye my hair or get a fringe, what should I do?
Community AnswerConsider adding some colored hair extensions or adding streaks to your hair with colorful hair chalk. This won't be a complete dye job, but you'll still have some colorful streaks. You can also talk to your mother again, and try to convince her that this is what you really want, and offer to help pay for the dye and hair cut.

QuestionIs it alright if the length of my swept fringe is down to my chin?

QuestionI wear glasses and I find it difficult to put my bangs over my glasses. What should I do?
Community AnswerYou don't have to have bangs. Most emos prefer to, but you can still be emo without bangs. If you truly wish to have bangs, just have them on the eye you don't depend on as much. If you want though, you can put the hair under the glasses. Emo is more than appearance.
-
QuestionHow can I persuade my parents to let me do this?
Community AnswerTell them that you will be good and that it will make you happy. They will understand. If that does not work, explain to them why you want it and maybe compromise with them on how much emo it will look.

QuestionI was born without bangs. So how do I create a fringe?
Community AnswerEveryone is born without bangs. You have to get bangs cut/styled out of your hair if you want them. It can help to train your hair to flow in a specific direction before cutting it. Before you actually go to get a fringe, grab a section of your hair, put it in the direction you want your fringe in, and style it this way every day. After a few weeks, it will naturally go to the side you want it to be on. Then you can go and cut your hair (ideally at a hairstylist, but there are tutorials to cut it yourself as well).
-
QuestionI have really short hair cut to my chin. How do I make it emo?

QuestionHow do I know what color to choose for my hair?
Community AnswerAsk a trusted friend or hairdresser what color they would think would look good with your hair type, face, eyes, etc.

QuestionWhat if my parents don't let me do any of this?
Community AnswerYour parents are the bosses, so if they say no, that's the end of that. But if you sit down and have a talk with them, explain how this would make you happy, maybe they would be willing to change their minds.
-
QuestionWhat if I have one side of my head shaved and want my hair covering my eyes too?
