Braiding the longest layers of your emo hairstyle is a great way to show off your eyes -- you know, on those rare days your eyeliner didn't run down your face during a good cry.

For an even funkier take on an emo hairstyle, ask for superchoppy, uneven top layers and extra thinned-out, wispy layers. Your haircut will bounce beautifully as you bob your head to one of the many sad songs you play on repeat.
