You know how to create a side part, right? OK, now move it over by like four or five inches so it starts at your temple. Now, you've got yourself an emo side part. It helps create a face-obscuring style that's just perfect for shy, sensitive emo kids who like to hide behind a curtain of hair.
Those jagged, superspiky layers may give off a badass, anti-establishment vibe, but the truth is you spent a lot of time carefully crafting them with that hair straightener you got last Christmas.
Can't get your short layers to stay put across your forehead? A beanie will lock your bangs firmly over your eyes (while sparing others from your angst-ridden stare). Feel free to borrow a beanie from your boyfriend too -- he owes you after dipping into your makeup bag to fulfill his guylining needs.
You wouldn't be caught dead wearing a bright color anywhere -- except maybe your head. And what better way to let the world know you're blue than, well, dyeing your emo hair blue? Seems pretty obvious to us, but we're betting your mom won't get it.
