How do i turn my hair 'emo' looking without the haircut?

well, i love the careless look that 'emo' hair has. my mom would freak out it i got my hair cut short; and it would look horrible 'cause my hair is really thick. i always need it layerd. how to i keep the side-bangs look without making one side poofy and the other unusually small? pictures would be great of people with medium hair length and the side-bangs as well as that choppy look; cause i don't really know how to do it.

first of all u need the hair cut and even if u have thick hair i will work because theyll cut ur hair with a razor and that will lessen the appearance of thick hair and puffiness.....and u can use a hair wax,cement,or cream to get that choppy look...get some hairstyle pics and show them to ur stylish and have him/her tell u how to style the hair

make sure they cut the hair with a razor not scissors

The best way to go, is to get a haircut.

TRUST ME. I tried doing eveything with my normal layered hair and it just didn't look as great as what it looks like now.

Ask for choppy layers, but keep the length.

It'll look really great since you have thick hair, it will be easier to add extra volume to it.

I personally like that one, my hair is somewhat like that, but without extreme volume. hahah

Remember to tell your hairstylist that you want to keep the length.

If you want other hairstyles be sure to go here and take a look:

Emo hair isn't really about the cut of the hair, it's about the way it's styled and coloured.

Emo hair originates from Manga styles (japanese cartoons) and usually still attributes as a long sweeping side fringe (though not always required.)

Emo hair can be about being yourselves, the aim is to just do what you think looks good on you!

I found a website for you full of examples:

When it comes to dye, just think about the colours that suit you best and that you wouldn't mind having in your hair, pink, red, black and blonde streaks and the most popular colours.

Style:

1. Wash and condition

2. towel dry

3. Use styling mouse or gel to brush backwards

4. Style around your face, have spiky bits at the back if you want.

Finish off with a cute DIY accessory, bow or necklace, such as something from LoveBites and Bruises: http://www.lovebitesandbruises.com

This will show a flair of originality that scenesters try to go for to make them stand out and be original.

Best of luck with it! :)
