Emo Hairstyles?

[Jamie]

I don't understand emo styles. An example is the picture below :

I don't see this too often in person but what is the deal with the blonde and black stripes in only part of the hair? I personally think it is ugly.

I don't understand it either but I do see it on a lot of 12 to 20 year olds. I guess it is a young faze thing. Once girl, must have been about 14, has her hair done a lot like the picture above and I asked her who did her hair and she said she did, and followed by asking what made her decided to do it that way, she said to be different. So I would imagine that is why most do it, to look different.

I thought this was a trend like 5 years ago. It still happens!? I never liked it, even on the younger girls. It pulls away from the natural beauty of the face and puts too much focus at the four head.

Hi Stephany,

There is no question 2014 is the year of being extremely original with hair color, length, hair cut and style. Although EMO fell out of popularity some years back, it has slowly returned because it offers another avenue of hair originality.

Right now so many people are adopting very radical Unicorn hair colors to achieve that over-the-top originality. I'm not surprised by any hair colors, styles or off-the-way designs I see these days. It's part of the times.

Yes Britanica, in some ways the concern with face shape, skin and/or eye tones and trying to enhance natural beauty has flown completely out the window. Yes, it was a trend from about 5 years ago, but it's back.

I'm sure trying to look beautiful and concerns for face shape, eye and skin tone issues will eventually return. They're just not that important to many people - especially younger ones - at this point.
