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.

Alternatively, girly emo gals can hold layers in place with a bow-adorned headband.

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.

Your spirit may be deflated but your hair doesn't have to be. Volumize the many layers of your emo hairstyle for a gravity-defying look that will lift your hair -- and maybe even your spirits, too.

For another way to show off your shorter layers, simply brush them forward -- like way forward. Like, as if hurricane-force winds were propelling your locks from behind.
