Advice by Jovan 2-July-2008 Looks like I'm about a year late for this forum! I have super curly hair as well and it looked pretty cool with the front long and the back really short, I just straightened out the bangs every day. From the front it was long and straight, then the back was like POW! super curly and short. I'm talking like 1" long in the very back and about 6"long in the front. I also think that short on one side and long on the other works with curly hair. The gradual sloping look in the back. Totally 80's, but would be rockin to have the colors change as they go around your head.  My next haircut is going to be random mullet. I'm stoked about that one! purple curls with gangsta lines and a few random curly rat tails. Oh Yeah! Curly hair is such an asset I wouldn't ever straighten it all. Just dye it a few wild colors, friz it out, throw it over to the side. You can also get wild colors braided and twisted into your hair, I stopped in an African braiding shop and they had some really cool colors and all types of braids from micros to thick dreads. All this to say, don't try and conform to the straight styles! have fun with your curls, make those lame straight hair girls jealous! you can always straighten your hair if you want, but they can't acheive wild curly colorful hair. Have Fun! Advice by Angel 1-July-2008 ok I'm 16 and have very thick curly hair i have found an awesome hairstyle called scene or emo. I am just wondering if my hair will get really poofy if i cut it that way and please answer me as soon as you can. Advice by Liveitup 27-June-2008 the true emo/punk look is hard to get with curly hair...i have the same problem.all i do is pull my bangs across my face and scrunch my hair with hairgel to control frizz and size. i also sometimes instead of straightening it all the way...i just straiten the top part and let the bottom curl. i am thiking about gettin my hair thinned because it is sooooo thick and full of body and i hate it. but my hairdresser said that it would make it even more puffy...help? should i? thanx Posted by Marylouk 16-June-2008 I have curly hair also and ive tried straightening it but it gets so frustrating i desperatly want to dye my hair pink but i dont know how well it would work because my hair is so poofy i was thinking though if it was short and i curled it so the curls werent so tight it would work. Posted by Shane 16-June-2008 I have VERY natural curly hair. I am also a stylist. I have had just about every hairstyle and color you can imagine. And with everything I have tried the best product for keeping curls under control and for straightening is a little dab of V05. It's the only ting I use and the only thing that works. Put it in your hair while your hair is still wet. Then style. It works great for straightening and keeps the flyaways away. Posted by Lina 12-June-2008 I have really really curly poofy hair so I am going to get temporary highlights in pink and blue with some fake pierrcings. (cant take the real pain) Posted by Sara 11-June-2008 hey so i justt made my own curly hair emo. just layerr it and get bangs that cover one of your eyes. but make sure they only go up to the end of ur nose. Posted by Rose 10-June-2008 Alright, I have a pretty good style for you. First off I get it thinned. next I suggest getting it in a choppy layered, with the shortest be about a little above your cheek bone. That would be the bang length. After, you could get a sharp "V" shape in the back. Even have one side of your bangs longer then the other, and have it very choppy. Oh, you could even have it died in random streaks through out..... That's how I had mine done. It works well when you want to put in up, down, straighten, or what not. Posted by Gemma 25-May-2008 Dont Cut It Short it looks alot worse! im 13 and everyone calls me EMO! So i stick with it! :) i like emo now its cool. Well my hair used to be brown and now its Black with a tint of blue, its shortish, but ive got extentions, and they look amazin, i have big bangs across my eyes and face, my boyfriend loves it, its jet black, and with slices of blonde in, and red, my hair is natrually curly, and a mess! Just leave it, my hair looks good curly and straight! TRY IT OUT! Hope This Helps! :) Posted by Sophie 7-May-2008 i have curly hair that ends up being extremely poofy when straightened so i gave up trying to have straight hair so what i did was cut my hair up to chin length and everyone loves plus it gives you a lot to do and it gets less curly and does not get huge in humid weather. Posted by Mariana 7-May-2008 Trust me, don't but those cheap chemical straightening things at CVS, if you want the real deal, go to a professional hairdresser, and ask for the Thermal Japanese hair straightening. It works wonders! I have super curly hair, and it made my hair pin straight and everytime it got humid i didntahve to worry about a thing! :D So just make sure you know the guy knows what he i so doing. Cause wheni got it my first time, the guy missed like this one chunk of hair, so all my hair was straight except this random curl, it was soooo annoying! So yeah hope that helps. Posted by Gwen 5-May-2008 um people, i have reall y curly hair an have been looking for an emo look for it an think i've found some good results!!!! one of my mates has her fringe cut short so it jus covers her eyebrows and jus straightens her fringe an nothin else, she also dyes it mahogany and adds the final touch of a bow clip - seriously it works!!!! curly hair rules :) Posted by Kari 29-April-2008 ok i have curly hair that poofs when its humid and frizzes real easy...i was down wit the whole straightenin your hair thing untill it was to much of a hassle...so now i leave it curly most of the time...but now i wana get a emo haircut cuz a new school year will be here soon and i just want something new and different...some of yall's coments have helped so far but just one question...should i leave it like shoulder length and get layers?!?!? then i wanted to dye the tips of each layer like red or somethin....i have dark brown hair...if u have anymore suggestions plz tell!! thnx!!!! :) Posted by Meg 12-April-2008 Trust me when I say don't cut it short...tried  it doesn't work. Highlights look cool at first but then as your hair grows it looks odd. What ever you do don't use chemical straighting. This girl at my school did that looked cute for almost 2 years then her hair started 2 fall out. Posted by Pyrochan 28-Mar-2008 I've got super curly reddish hair and for so long I stuck with the "keep it long" thing. Keeping it long is almost as big a hassle as straightening it - I have got a wicked haircut that's all short at the back running to long at the front so I really push up the curls ate the back and pull them long at the front. I also highlighted my hair redder than it is. Like said before, don't shampoo your hair often, it's a killer. So yeah, love your curls, work with them. Who wants straight hair anyway! Posted by Kayleigh 20-Mar-2008   I HATE my curly hair. i love the emo style and culture, it's just my thing. but i just can't straighten my hair. period. its so hard, therefore i usually get my mom to do it for me. but she has started to get really ticked when i asked her to. I desperatly try to straighten my hair but the humidity makes it so messed up. I'm very curious about thinning out my hair and cutting it a little shorter than shoulder lenth. my question is, how will it grow back again it i don't like it? will doing this screw my hair? please help! Posted by Claudine 24-Feb-2008 emo hairstyles are very fashionable today especially for teens.for girls,emo hairstyle are more pleasing to look at for long and black hair. emo usually comes with a bangs that almost cover a face, just make sure that it won't be a hassle to you (ex. when you write something). dont apply any unnecessary hair color ok! it will make your hair look exaggerated. but remember, always feel good about your hair and wear it proudly Posted by Paige 22-Feb-2008 I have curly, very thick hair, and I too have been looking for a cool emo haircut.  I'm considering the assymetrical cut and letting it poof out as well because my friends all think that it would look 10 times better :) Posted by Lamis 15-Feb-2008 i have the wavy thick hair that puffs when it dries too it used to drive me crazy as an emo it teases me but now iam over it even that i had the very short hair cut too i just put some hair gel and leave it. Posted by Jenna 9-Feb-2008 For the girl who wants a punk look for curly hair. Curly hair is the best hair for highlights. I have enough hair for about 5 people and it's super curly. I got really small blue streaks all over my head. The way it twists and does what ever it wants looks awesome. All i do to maintain the curls is use mouse after i get out of the shower and then i let it air dry. I used to straighten my hair, but at the first sign of humidity it would frizz. I've come to love my hair, just gotta find what works for you. Posted by Charlie 27-Jan-2008 hey i have really curly hair and like everybody else said straightening it everyday is just not possible so what i did to get emo bangs were i had my mom cut them and then i got some hair gel stuff and when i get out of the shower i put it in there and then i flipp my hair upside down and scrunch it then when my bangs dry i go and i straighten just the bangs and the rest curly and down and i started a fashion trend doing that in my school and now everybody is wearing their like me (well not really everybody but i think you catch my drift right?) Posted by Jessica 26-Jan-2008 OK, first of all.. whatever you do.. DONT CUT YOUR HAIR SHORT.. i learned that mistake and yes it looks HORRID when humidity gets in the way and it wont stay straight. I am actually growing my hair out now and have been since the beginning of fall. What i suggest you do is if you have long hair keep it long and enjoy your curls. You don't have to hate them at all and like the other girl said, the best part of being emo is that you are who you are and thats the total truth. So maybe.. i suggest you if you have blonde hair get mahogony brown low lights in your hair to make it a little more punkier and if you have brown hair get black low lights (but if you get black lowlights get it done professionally) and with your bangs.. get the cut that angles and covers one of your eyes.. and get layers in your hair to... short layers as well.. it will make your curls look absolutely stunning..  and keep your dark makeup around your eyes and you know.. walla! you got the emo look going on but just with curly hair but you know you could tell other girls out there that you can look great..and punk/emo/goth w.e you wanna call it.. even with curly hair! Hope that helps! *smiles and thumbs up*.. good luck! Posted by Gafuzzy 15-Jan-2008 right on, mcklshirey.  the thing NOT to do with curly hair is shampoo it regularly. shampooing causes an imbalance of moisture and  natural  scalp oil that is death to good curls. most shampoos leave residues that make curly hair behave badly. once you break the shampoo habit, your hair may seem oily at first as  your scalp readjusts to stop overproducing sebum (naturally occuring skin oil). this doesn't last long. get over the limiting idea that being 'emo/punk' means dyed and/or straight hair. it's supposed to be about thinking for yourself, remember? Posted by Lori 14-Jan-2008 What black straighting chemical did you use, because I have tried one before and it really over prossed my hair and I had to cut it all off. Posted by Daniela 21-Oct-2007 Hi, I have curly hair too. And I always cry cause I want a punk hairstyle but I can't cause my hair gets puffy too. I am searching on the net and if I find something I will tell you. Posted by Dani 24-Oct-2007 I have very long curly hair so i can sympathesise with you, straightening it all the time just is not possible, so I compromised and got a side fringe that i straighten and, and keep the rest curly. The other thing i found that really helps if your hairs too thick is getting it thinned, alot of hair dressers are very reluctant to do this 'oh no voluminous hair is so beautiful', but  the less hair you have the less puffy it would be, so i suggest finding a hairdresser that does what you asks and isn't scared to thin. Posted by Mcklshirey 06-Nov-2007 I have curly hair too and the best way to handle it is to avoid anything that dries it out. So let it curl, girl. The best part of being emo is that you are who you are, right? So get an assymetrical cut, let it pouf on humid days, and enjoy all the compliments you are going to get. Posted by Rachel 20-Dec-2007 I have curly hair 2 all you have to do is use the black staighting chemical it dosn't cost much and it makes the hair soft and nice.
