Emo is short for emotional as any young person would know. If you don't know what emo hairstyles are, then you must be too old to know. Young people are into these fad hairstyles and they seem to be here for now.
Girls are into emo as much as guys and this picture shows how a typical emo hairstyle has everything to do with an emotion at the moment. The nice thing about these hairstyles is the fact that you don't need a hairstylist. You can cut your own hair or do it with the help of a friend. Usually shorter works better but long works too. One side is usually longer than the other. She looks like she just grabbed the clippers and went for it. Cutting a little here and then a little there and then spiking up the top, it is as simple as that. Her hair is bleached a white blonde color.
Emo hairstyles are not for the faint at heart. They are for those who love to stand out in the crowd and yes, people will look at you, so dare to be you.
