Emo Punk Hairstyle for People with Curly Hair

I found a neat look that works and is relatively low-maintenance for people with curly hair but want it to be emo. (I have this myself actually).

- Get your hair layered so that it will curl, and medium-length bangs with more layers
- I personally got vivid highlights in mine (bright red, blues and yellows work well) "Peekaboo" highlights are great (meaning hidden underneath) so that the colour doesn't look bad when growing out -Keep it curly!! When it is wet, brush it and make a part (probably side part).
- Use curlling mouse and scrunch (Pantene curl mouse product is great!). Bend your head upside down to get maximum curl
- ONLY blow dry bangs, and straighten only the bangs!!

This looks so much different from the usual emo style. Just because most have straight hair does not mean that ALL emos have it.  Its great to embrace what you've got rather than change it. Saves a lot of time and causes less stress on your hair and for that matter yourself when you're trying to keep it straight all the time. I know...I used to be emo and I would spend over an hour a day on my hair alone. It wasn't fun at all. This look is very different and I found, got a lot more attention. It can be beautiful with curls or when straight. Takes less than 10 minutes to do too! You should consider trying it :) Oh and helpful hint...the emo look usually combines hair/makeup and clothing. So if you're still fretting over curly hair and the emo look, try playing up the eyes or matching the highlight colours with the eyeshadow. Makes a big difference :) Enjoy!

OKAY GUYS. here is what you need to do, first don't worry about the curl as much just worry about containing frizz that's what kills you. 2nd it makes it a whole lot easier if you braid your hair while its wet and sleep with it over-night, this makes it easier to straiten. if your going to blow-dry your hair then you need to get an attachment called a diffuser, its got pegs over the flow of air so that it doesn't frizz your hair out, they work great. my hair is naturally red with black streaks and i do this every day, its flat as  paper.

My hair is about the curliest and thickest of my life. But then I got it layered and it looks MUCH better. And it looks kind of emoish, because it looks like straight haired emoness only curly. I just straighten my bangs and poof each layer separately. Then I take the three layers I have and put about 1/3 of it in the front and the rest in the back. Simple. But for SUPER ease, brush AFTER applying gel, if you use it, and BEFORE mousse, because that stuff works for our type of hair.

my hair has really big curls not small ones that most people have. my hair is also very very thick. so what i do is get layers but you do NOT want to get a razor cut cause it will damage your hair really badly. i take my showers at night instead of mornig cause my hair takes a long time to dry cause it is so thick. well one way is to get emo side or full bangs and straiten them then put your hair up in a pony tail side pony tail or picktails. it looks really good! or you can straighten your bangs and leave the curly part in the back. also do NOT go to short sholder length or lower is good cause with me the shorter my hair is the curlyer it is.

ok listen up. i have really curlier hair an 4 all the people who say to not wash your hair i found a way that u can an your hair will still be gorgeous use a shampoo that is made for for women of color. it helps your hair stay less frizzy and to make it emphasis put some low lights in and even like hot pink or red. put a couple bows in the front still leaving bangs to cover your eyes an cut it kinda medium length. if this helps i am glad.

A Pixie cut looks great with curly hair I used to have REALLY short curly hair and it looked great and had almost zero work to do with it. Just remember not to cut it any less than 1 1/2 inches in the front.

My best answer is get it chemically straightened or if you don't want to use chemicals just go to a hair salon get a straighten perm. That's whams I use. Don't use a brush when it gets frizzy try to use a wide-toothed comb if you can. I have curly hair too and I find if I straighten it (with a straightner) and it gets frizzy use a dryer sheet. It works well.

1. Keep it long, go for just past your shoulders or down to your chest (this is the best).

2. Keep it ALL the same length - only a few slightly shorter curls at the front is ok.

3. Wet your hair and come it out. Give yourself a side parting, but quite close to the middle of your head.

4. You need to add a side bang . . . its kinda the same for straight hair but it has to be smaller cos otherwise it looks rong . . . it wont work tottally like a straight side bang but it does not need to . . . to do this make a small triangle with the top point on your parting (if your not sure about it look up how to get a side bang on you tube or something just make it smaller cos they're probably doing it for straight hair) - put this to one side.

5. Put hair mousse on and leave to dry, dont blow-dry, towel dry OR tuck it behind you ears!

6. When it's dry put most of it infront of your shoulders, as you've put mousse on it it will stay down and not go frizzy . . . leave the "side bang" to hang over your eye or where ever it wants . . . generally let your hair look slightly messy but just makesure its fairly flat.

7. If you want you can add bright streaks!!

Follow these 7 steps and you will have your tottally emo/punk looking curly hair . . . believe me it doesn't look like some someone curly trying to be emo . . . it TOTALLY works.

good luck dudes

I have really curly hair. its right at my shoulders. what i do is i apply a leave in conditioner right when i get out of the shower. then i straighten my bangs. i let it dry naturally, it works best. sometimes i even go to bed with my hair a little damp. it makes it not a poofy in the morning. all i have to do when i wake up is put a little watwer in it. it works amazing!!! try it!!!
