Long Half Up Emo Hairstyle


Added: 15 Sep 2011
This gorgeous long straight hairstyle will have you turning heads. With a dark brunette and pink two-tone hair color, and purple highlights, this look is ideal for many occasions, but especially perfect for summer as it is light, cooling, and softly textured.

Our model looks great in this hairdo with her sharp facial features. The long half-up emo hairstyle is an excellent choice for those who want to show off their edgy side while keeping their hair out of their face. The ends of this multi-colored emo hairstyle are sliced and jagged cut to achieve a piecey finish to the ends. The top is pulled back and pinned to the crown adding height and lift, making this smooth hairstyle best suited for those with round face shapes.

Trims are required every four to six weeks to prevent split ends and keep this hairstyle in shape. A small amount of product may be needed to tame fly-away hair. Styling your hair can be time-consuming, but it can be a breeze with the right products! We recommend using a moisturizer and a molding cream to style your hair. These products will add hydration and hold to your hair, allowing you to achieve the perfect look in no time.

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


step 2

A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 3

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


step 5

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 6

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


step 7

Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.


step 8

Once your hairstyle is complete, hold your hair into place and then pin your hair into your desired direction.


step 9

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.


step 10

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
