Short Flamboyant Emo Waves With Long High Top


Added: 20 Oct 2011
This hairstyle is perfect for anyone who wants to show off their edgy, emo side with a touch of flair. The short waves add volume and texture to the hair, while the long high top adds height and drama. Our gorgeous model in this hairdo looks stunning and her silver-black smokey eyes and red lips perfectly complement this hairdo with her sharp facial features. Apply a light hold gel or mousse to damp hair to achieve this look. Use a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer to enhance the waves and add definition. Once the hair is dry, use a pomade or wax to shape the high top into your desired shape. Finish off the look with a spritz of hairspray to hold everything in place. This style is perfect for a night out or a concert and will turn heads wherever you go. This flamboyant emo hairdo is best suited for the brave. The sides and back are slicked back and flat to the head, leaving the top out to be dressed up and out and showing off the combination of golden tones added for color contrast. This versatile emo hairstyle will need strong-hold products.

With soft, naturally wavy, and bouncy curls, this simple look creates a subtle beachy look. This style is ideal for short hair because it is simple to simulate at home with the right tools and products. It will take approximately 20 minutes to style this short emo 'do with a long high top.

step 1

Apply some gel-wax to your fingertips then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a semi-wet, textured result.


step 2

Apply a small amount of gel-wax to your fingertips, then place it at the roots above your ear and drag it through as you pull your hair behind your ear. This will create a fresh, semi-wet result.


step 3

Take a section of hair from the front of your head no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller down the hair shaft until it meets the top of your head and then secure it in place with a pin or clip. Continue this step until a row of hot rollers has been applied along the very top of your head. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 4

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 5

Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
