short emo hairstyles

Emo (short for emotional) is a style of punk-rock music that gave birth to a whole generation of style and attitude. Emo style is mostly black mixed with an assortment of bright colors; this is the same for the emo hairstyles. Short emo hair involves spikes, different colors, Mohawks and the covering of one or both of the eyes.

Mohawk
A Mohawk is a great style for short emo hair. The hair can be cut in the shape of a Mohawk or shaped that way with styling gel.

Color
Color is a big part of the emo hairstyle. Shorter hair can have a combination of several colors or one color (red, green, pink, yellow, aqua, blue or purple) layered with primarily black hair.

Cut
The cut of emo hair is very important for making the style stand out. The cut is usually very choppy and uneven with layers.

Spikes
Spiky hair is obtained with protective spray, blow drying and hair gel. Some short emo styles have very subtly spiky hair that is similar to tussled bed hair, while others choose to have more defined spikes.
