Some people might be cool with blending in with the crowd, but that wasn't my MO. I've always wanted to stand out in the best way possible. Let's just say emo hairstyles gave me a safe haven to do that.
My first emo hair was an emo haircut with full bangs. I toyed with that for a while by dyeing the bangs several colors. After that, I decided to grow out my hair and opted for my favorite emo hairstyle which is long black hair with long side swept bangs.
New emo hairstyles for girls are emerging, from bright-colored hair to darker ones. Here are 62 unique hairstyles for your next emo hair.
With an outfit that looks like she just stepped right out of a cosplay, this hair is absolutely alluring. The hair has a v-pattern at the front which focuses on the red gem on the forehead. This is a unique emo hairstyle that is versatile.
Most emo hairstyles these days involve braiding the ends of your hair. If you get bored of straight hair, you can decide to braid it for a different look.
