Emo is a fashion genre which plays between the Goth and rock styles, and it has been an ongoing fad among the younger generations today. Girls and boys go emo because of the current music and fashion styles brought by the mass media, and of course, hairstyles are affected by this trend. So, if you are trying to follow the emo scene, you might just as well get your tresses done with an emo blonde hairstyle.
So what are the common emo hairstyles which can be done on blonde hair?
Bleached snip crop
Probably the most common emo style followed by girls today is the bleached snip crop. You can easily do this by cutting your hair with a pair of shears in a straight, angular design. You can also add full bangs which go towards a specific side of the hairline. What tends to be rigorous however is the bleaching process, as you have to color your hair white or platinum in order to get the gothic appeal.
Spiked crop
If you tend to be more experimental and would want to be different, then you may as well bleach your hair but rather than doing the snips, you can style your hair upwards using some gel or setting lotion, so as to create spikes. This is a rather old version of emo, and as well blends with the punk and dark metal styles of the 1980s and early 1990s.
The “Nancy Spungen” waves
This kind of emo blonde hairstyle pays tribute to Nancy Spungen, the emo groupie who became the girlfriend of the late rock star Sid Vicious. Girls who follow her style turn their hair into platinum, honey or light blonde, with soft curls and a bouffant effect to create more volume.
The sweet bob cut
Lastly, there are emo girls who want to look sweet and pretty, they prefer apple cut bobs with full bangs to cover their foreheads. In this style, you don’t have to comb your hair to an inward direction; just comb it straight down to the tips.
When following an emo blonde hairstyle, it is important that your hair color plays within the light shades of white, bleached blonde and platinum blonde. Gray and ash blonde types do work with this fashion genre, as long as they stay light as well. The light blonde shade plays a perfect contrast to the makeup, consisting of deep set eyeliner and crimson red lips.
