Food Coloring = Temporary Hair Dye

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:08:00 +0000

Things You'll Need

Empty bottle or shampoo bottle
Shampoo
gloves
Food coloring (any color)

It is semi-permanent and usually takes two to four weeks to completely wash out of your hair. The longer you leave the food coloring in, the darker the color of your hair, and the longer it lasts. Colors show up better on lighter hair than darker.

Mix several drops of food coloring and a couple tablespoons os shampoo in an empty shampoo bottle. The more food coloring you use, the darker the shade of color created. Put the top on the bottle, and shake it well to mix. You can add a couple of drops of water if it seems to thick.
Wet your hair thoroughly, and then massage the food coloring and shampoo through your hair. Be sure to cover your entire head of hair evenly if you are trying to dye your whole head. You can also separate segments of your hair and dye only part of it.
Leave the food coloring in your hair for six to 12 hours. If you have blond or light brown hair, six hours is probably enough. If your hair is dark brown or black, leave it longer.
Jump into the shower, and rinse out the colored shampoo. Towel dry your hair, and then dry it with a blow dryer, or let it dry naturally.
Avoid washing your hair for three to five days. (I know it's nasty...) After that, you can wash it as you normally would, but each time that you wash it, the color lightens. Depending on how dark you dyed it, the food coloring completely washes out within a month.

Great Emo Graphics

Emo Bob Hairstyle

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:07:00 +0000

The emo bob is usually really short in the back and spiked up, then has long fringe in the front that sweeps over one eye or both. Now the look can go for both girls and boys.

This is a great example of the emo bob.

And this is another great example:

And this is the same general style but on a girl.

See how it works on both girls and boys? So don't worry if you show a guy to your stylist to show what haircut you want if you're a girl, or the other way around.

Yet another example, (my personal fav).

Sumerizing what was already saidXx

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 23:50:00 +0000

Although the origin of emo culture or sub-culture lies in emo music genre but lately, emo hair fashion and emo hairstyles have been widely acknowledged as true emo’ strength. Besides, many people feel the real coolness of being emo can come only if you can display a good looking emo hairstyle. In the modern world, emo is classed as a separate culture, which is a combination of various things such as emo makeup, emo music, emo styles, emo fashion, emo clothes, emo attitudes and above all, emo hairstyles.

Many new trends are emerging on the realm of emo hairstyles, which are generally influenced by the basic norms such as long choppy layers, messy and uneven cuts, black dyed hair and deliberate messy looks. However, several new and cool trends in emo hairstyles reflect various modifications in the traditional emo hairstyles. For instance, shaggy haircuts, cropped hairstyles, deep and bright hair colors, medium emo haircuts, blonde emo hairstyles and many other trendiest trends are visible on the radar of emo hairstyles.

Accessories

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 17:02:00 +0000

People that have the emo and/or scene style tend to love to accessorize, usually they overaccessorize but they somehow pull it off.

Bracelets, LOTS of bracelets is one of the ways to accessorize like a true emo, but that's not everyone's style, there are many other ways to accessorize like an emo.

Converse and Glasses can also help certain people with the emo style, but not all can pull it off.

Carrying a Skateboard around can also help for some people, and cool Belts is deffinetly a yes.

Rings and Armbands are cool too.

Buttons are also something that the emo trend has begun to accessorize with.

But of course the main way to pull off that emo look is to just put on what you want, look how you want to look, and make up your own stuff.

Emo, Scene, Skater, Goth, Rave

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 00:17:00 +0000

These things all have their differences, and are usually easy to tell apart.

Emo: Straight hair usualy (sometimes spikey or just messy) Usally dark colored hair and makeup along with clothes (but tend to add bright colors as a contrast). Tend to be heartbroken, caring, random, expressive people.

Scene: Bright hair and clothes, teased or poofy hair. Happy and self-concious.

Skater: Laid back care-free style along with messy (usally long) hair and baggy clothes.

Goth: Midevil like, dark colors always, almost dead looking, love black and hate any bright colors. Probably think they're vampires...

Rave: Loves all bright colors and having wild hair. Crazy party animals.

Attitude

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:38:00 +0000

Attitude is everything. Typically you will be expected to be depressed and insecure. But it's more important to be sensitive and quiet (and who wants to be that depressed idiotic stereotype anyway??). This is an example: _--Avoid confrontation; you have to be introverted and too wrapped up in your own emotions to care about the opinions of others. But you can defend your opinions viva the internet provided you get very emotional about doing so.--_ I mean come on!!! EVERYONE knows that emo is about being emotional and sweet most of the time because usually the emo knows how it feels to be low on life, so they try and help their friends with their problems. So forget EVERYTHING you've EVER heard about those lame stereotypes that people just make up because they don't really know the emo and only see their shy, quiet side, and just let yourself be what you wanna be, emo is really just expressing yourself and not trying to fit in. BE YOURSELF!!!! If emo isn't yourself, then get lost!

Emo Music

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:58:00 +0000

Emo is first and foremost a music genre so you need to be involved in the music scene to avoid being called a poser. Learn to play an instrument! Or at least buy one! If you can't play you can always claim to, and you will gain instant credibility by merely owning it. Just take lots of picture of yourself holding it at creative angles to post on the internet. Can't afford a guitar? Write lyrics! Emo poetry can cover a wide range of emotions and making up your own style of writing is part of the process. Use poetry as a way of venting your problems. Don't have any problems? Then you're lucky as hell!!! The type of bands you listen to strongly reflect on you as an emo. Bands like Bullet For My Valentine and Fall Out Boy are a good bet, but it's more credibly to listen to obscure unsigned bands with names like Reservoir Death. If the music has emotional lyrics then it's emo. (duh emo stands for emotional hardcore, or just emotional)

Emo Clothing

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:23:00 +0000

Emo kids typically dress to express their inner feelings to the world. Emo kids don't pick out outfits ahead of time, they wear whatever they want, whenever they want. Almost everything has a sentimental or personal value. And a lot of the stuff you see will have cutom markings, or drawings done on them. They do NOT dress to stand out, or to look different. It's all based on how they are feeling when they put that item of clothing on. Although, a lot of emo kids will always be found wearing a dark style. The style includes: -Tight shirts with either NO logos or emo bands - such as Fall Out Boy or Hawthorne Heights. -Tights jeans with faded colors, usually black. -Bracelets, or necklaces with sentimental value. Emo's just don't put on things to make them look cool. -Belts, usually checkered with an awesome looking belt buckle. To sum it all up, emo's have their own sense of fashion. It's ALWAYS unique and ALWAYS has a personal side to it.

Basically emos wear a lot of black, but unlike goths this is usually paired up with some bright and funky colours, for example if you were wearing dark jeans and a black shirt, you might wear a bright crimson red tie and white jacket, with matching or contrasting accessories. Band t-shirts are also popular, but make sure you buy a band you actually like and know a bit about, and not just some popular band like 'My Chemical Romance' just because you think they might be cool. For emos being clued up to music is a must, and you will look totally shallow and fake if you wear a band name that you don't know anything about. Hoodies are also a must, especially as jackets are not really in the emo fashion picture, so think about motifs such as skulls, stars and crosses. If you are very confident with your style you might also get away with some printed ironic catchphrases and logos, but you should stay away from anything that actually says 'emo' as you will look like a major wannabe. Layers are also a good emo look, such as a t-shirt over a long sleeve shirt, or a long sleeve stretch top under a vest top. Scarves are great for creating a layered look as well, and also brightening up dark outfits. You can get thin silk and linen scarves to wear in the summer, just loosely draped around the neck purely as an accessory. Those big long stripy winter scarves are very cool and you can also get cute matching mittens or even better fingerless gloves which are very much part of the emo look.

Emos never wear sports logos such as Adidas or Nike - way too mainstream, but the odd article of designer clothing is acceptable, such as a really nice pair of tight jeans or a super stylish black shirt, as long as it doesn't have the label in a really obvious place. Jeans of course as mentioned should be tight for an emo look, and also well cut. The emo style usually stays well away from scruffy, so make sure all your trousers are the right length so they are not dragging on the ground and getting tatty, and also the right fit for your legs.

Shoes should be flat, think funky pumps for girls and Converse or Vans trainers for girls and boys. Stay away from big chunky boots as this will look at little too punk, especially when teemed with skirts and tights for the girls. High heels are acceptable in some cases.
Accessories are not vital, but they can help to jazz up a dark outfit. Layering accessories is a popular emo look, such as having lots of bangles on your wrists, or lots of necklaces. Cute tote bags and little backpacks are good too, but stay away from designer or leather handbags, as they look way to formal and showy for this emo style. Piercing and tattoos are also popular, but in moderation otherwise you are straying into punk/goth/metalhead territory.

(I'm going to keep saying this and probably get anyone's nerve who's reading this, but these are just guidelines with MY taste mostly, you can and SHOULD make up your OWN taste. Be creative and fun and funky. Best of luck.)

(This is a crappy pic of some clothes I have, not the best of course because I have almost no jewlry on...I hadn't gotten that far in my daily fixing up yet.)

Long Emo Hair

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:24:00 +0000

Long emo hair
Long hair needs to be really well cut, with lots of sharp, funky layers to create definition and stop the hair from looking out of condition and lank. It can be too damaging for long hair to keep dying it different colours, so it might be a good idea just to dye it the basic black, and then use temporary clip-in hair extensions for splashes of colour. Also if you have very thick hair then layers can help smooth out the overall shape and stop it from looking too bushy. If you want to create more volume in a longer style, you can spray the top back layers of your cut with a good holding hairspray, and then gently backcomb with a brush. Keep the longer bottom layers and the fringe straight to maintain that look of well groomed sleekness.

Mid-length Emo Hair

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:55:00 +0000

Mid-length emo hair
Mid length emo hair is great for showing off those really choppy sharp styles, so get your layers razor cut and use straightening irons and hair serum to make the finish really modern and sleek. You can also have fun with colours, such as streaks or even clip-in extensions, which come in a range of funky bright dyes. Experiment with accessorises as well, but remember that Emo styles are rarely 'up dos', and the shape of the hair comes from the cut and textures, rather than styling the hair into standard pony tails, plaits, French twists etc.
(See example of Trace Cyrus below.)

Short Emo Hair

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:52:00 +0000

Short Emo Hair
Shorter Emo hair styles are all about shape and a good guideline to a basic cut is short and snappy at the back, and longer and sharply razored-in at the front. A simple style to create is to rub a little styling wax into your hair with your fingers and then mist over with hairspray. Then use straightening irons all over to finish off with a smooth, glossy look. The fringe and front sections of the hair are normally left to fall sleekly across the face, or you might want to clip them back with some funky hair grips. Short emo hair is also excellent for recreating spiky styles, and to get those really well groomed, sleek spikes straighten the hair first, and then use a little hair wax to sculpt the spikes upwards.
(See example below.)

(This is a picture of my hair, I know it's crappy but I got bored and realized I sort of have the same hair that I'm describing.)

More on Emo Hair

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:50:00 +0000

Emo hair styles encourage people to experiment with the shape of their hair from the cut right through to the accessories, and can be a fun way to individualise your personal look. Clips, grips and hair bands can be used to accentuate and create various shapes, and colour can be added in blocks or streaks to create volume and texture. Emo hairstyles can be any length, and can easily be created at home, although it might be a good idea to get the basic cut done by a professional to get those really sharp, razored-in layers. There are no particular rules when it comes to cutting the hair for Emo styles, just get inventive with choppy layers and fringes, but whatever length you have these styles are normally longer at the front to cover and frame the face.

Emo Wordrobe

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 16:32:00 +0000

Wordrobe
Choose the perfect clothes. Clothes are extremely important, and will help form the basics of your look, define your own style and change your look. Although every person is unique and has their own taste, there are some basics to perfecting the Emo wardrobe. Follow these instructions and you get there:

Choose black or navy coloured skinny jeans to wear(you can have different colors if you like even though this would most likely result in you looking like a rainbow) - skinny jeans are optional, there are also baggy jeaned emos out there (those would be more skater though.) They look great when they are ripped and combined with a (usually silver and black) studded belt. You can also try chains hooked onto your belt, badges, or patches.
A dark coloured zip-hoodie is a classic must have. Try black, or dark purple. Stripes also work very well; red and black, purple and black and so on. This hoodie and the skinny jeans form the basics of your wardrobe.
Wear band t-shirts. These are great for comfortable everyday wear. Find lots of bright colored t-shirts. They can have cartoon characters on them, or they can just have an interesting print - the important thing is that you are comfortable being seen in it. Wear the classic 'shirt and tie'. Find yourself a white shirt with a collar, and wear a black or red tie with it. This also looks good with a black shirt and red tie. Get some proper shoes. Converse, Vans, and DCs are common, but pumps and Doc Martins are also acceptable. Try writing or drawing on your Converse to add a personal touch.

Arm bands, chokers, wrist bands and piercings all help define your own personal style and add to the Emo look.
Remember that Emo is more about the music than the clothes.
People think that Emos have to wear dark colors. There are other colors to wear. Many wear bright, neon colors, such as hot pink, bright green, and bright yellow.
It's a good to get an idea about the Emo culture, since you are trying to immerse yourself into the scene. Falling into sterotypes will only make people hate you; ignorant posers are never popular. So don't just dress Emo if you don't know anything about it, or you will definitely be called a poser.
Don't become the generic "I hate life", "I'm so depressed", "I cut myself" or "I want to die" Emo kid. If you feel this way you should consult a doctor. Emo is not about being depressed.

JEWELRY/ACCESSORIES

Short chains with crosses or skulls are great for the boys/girls. Only for girls, small choker style beads are always cute.
Small funky colored wrist bands with a small, random insignia on them are great.
Spikes are okay as well (but again, more Goth).
If you're a girl, wearing different types of earrings is funky.
Again, if you're a girl, little girl clips in the hair is always a yes (cute).
Arm warmers are cute for both, boys and girls.
Horn-rimmed glasses : If you don't need glasses don't wear them, you'll look and feel really stupid and be blind.

Go thrift shopping!

Thrift shopping (charity shops)is so, so cool for an emo; your look is completely unique, nobody else will have the same stuff, and you avoid that poseurish mall-bought look. Some things to look out for:

Vintage t-shirts
Lots of plain tops (long or short sleeves) for layering
Skinny jeans - these are harder to come by on a budget as unfortunately jeans are one of those things where you get what you pay for, but if you hunt around you might find a decent pair that someone's thrown out. They'll be slightly worn too, which is always good.
Alternatively, you CAN buy skinny jeans cheap at chain stores. Actually, never be afraid to go into chain stores for anything. Just because they cater to the mainstream doesn't mean you can't find some great stuff there, and it tends to be cheaper than specialist stores. As long as you don't deck out in all the latest fashions, it should be fine.
Scarves, cute stripy socks, children's hairclips, safety pins, wristbands, fingerless gloves - these are all things that can be found very cheaply and are definitely emo.
Get some shoes...they aren't so cheap. There are some staples that just can't be bought cheap, so save up for a pair of converse sneakers, a cool band hoodie and perhaps a pair of good-quality jeans. If you get the bulk of your wardrobe cheap then you can afford to invest in a couple of dearer items.

Emo Eyeliner

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:03:00 +0000

Eyeliner
Apply cover, blush, or powder first as these products not only make application of eyeliner easier but also help it to stay.
Draw a line on your upper lids, from the center to the outer portion, narrow to wider.
Finally draw a line on the lower lids using the same technique above.

(This is how I do mine)
Take your eye paint or eyeliner and apply it carefully on the bottom of your eyes. Make sure you get close to the lash line. Start on the inside corner of your eye and make a thin line going to the outside of your eye.Then add more black over the top, keep adding black till you cannot see anything more! This gives it a dark emo effect.
Apply your eye paint/eyeliner in the same manner on top. Try for a rounded edge on the outside corner of your eye.
Apply a healthy amount of eye shadow to your eyelids after the eyeliner has dried.
Apply two coats of black mascara.
Use foundation in a tone slightly lighter than your skin tone, or your own skin tone.
Put a tiny bit of lipstick on. Blend it well into your lips and blot some off for a tinting effect. Or you can just smooth on some foundation along with powder to add that pale lip effect.

Do your make up as bold as possible. Applying a striking amount of eye-liner is standard in the Emo scene. Do not apply this kind of make up to go to work, or if you're school does not allow such things, or you'll find yourself in trouble. If there's a potential for smudging, then try using eye pencil instead of liquid eyeliner.
The Emo look usually includes being as pale as your natural skin tone will allow. Keep your skin pale and use suncreen to make sure you don't end up with an ultra tanned, sun kissed look which will take you very far from looking Emo. Also, the clearer and paler the skin, the more striking your makeup will look. You can also get a whitening foundation. This isn't extremely important so don't go overboard with this - you don't want to look like a clown.
Dark nail polish is recommended. Black is normal, but other colors such as dark green, dark purple, or even black and white stripes could work. Make sure your nail polish doesn't chip or wear out, or it'll start to look cheap. But also bright colors will work, whatever you feel like doing at the time.

Quick note: If you have a very light skin complexion and maybe even darker eyes, you may want to use like a dark brown (close to black) and/ or a crimson color. This will not be to harsh on your skin tone!

Emo Style

noreply@blogger.com (EstheticEmily) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 22:32:00 +0000

Personality
Emo is an abbreviation for "emotional". Emo hairstyles convey the mentality and emotions of the person flaunting them along with their individuality and the way they think.
Hair
Emo haircuts are usually spiky and shaggy a definition of how you felt at that time. It's an all over the place crazy style so use gel and hair glue to your advantage. Adding hair glue to the bangs in the front to make them straight and stiff is a must when trying to create the emo hairstyle. You can add gel to the back of your hair as well to make it stand out if you have the back shorter. If the back is long and shaggy just mix and match gel and hair glue to make it a crazy bold effect. Uneven pieces framing the face. Black color with crazy highlights. Choppy all over the place crazy haircut. Unnatural uneven look to give it more spunk.
This is a great example below.

Straighten your hair
For a longer lasting sleek hair, go for rebonding. Or you may simply iron your hair, though it is not advisable to do so often as it can lead to dryness and damage. If you have naturally straight hair, good for you, as you can simply skip this step.
Examine your facial features carefully and determine which feature you wish to emphasize, to enhance, or to downplay.
Create distinct layers by dividing your hair into sections and cutting them into layered lengths. If you want to have indistinguishable layers, simply cut portions of hair downwards for that sleek uneven cut.
Keep your emo hair smooth and sleek by cleaning and trimming it regularly.
Since emo is just expressing yourself you don't really NEED to have jet black hair, but it helps to get that sleek look.
The Emo style does not need any professional hair stylist; you can obtain by using the scissors of your kindergarten brother or even a pair of shears instead of scissors order to cut hair. Do not worry about the uneven hair you get in return, the much asymmetrical the more better. A large number of Emo styles attributes a patch of triangular hair all around the face or the lopsided hair or some fringes covering on eye.
You can go for a classic short bob, with or without bangs that cover one eye; dye it black, dark brown, or platinum blond. It looks especially good when the back is teased up with hair gel. Pink/black/baby blue/neon green layered hair for girls is becoming popular. The top layer is usually cut short and is made to stick out - spiked, in a sense. You can even teaase your hair. Think outside the box. Emo has its roots in the punk scene, and isn't just limited to black. Hair can be dark brown, black, blond, or any color you want as long as the cut is expressive of a punk rock culture and has a little Emo flare.
Accesories can vamp up a look. Little bows have become extremely popular, as have large clips or even ribbons. Play it up and create your own unique style. Remember that there are no rules to looking and being Emo - you can do whatever you want.

Grow your hair out in the front and side parts so they cover a good portion of your face. Some people grow out the back. If it's short in the back, you can spike it up with gel, but this looks tacky if it gets too long. Layer your hair. Get long layers about half way down your hair, and short the rest of the way up. (If you're a guy don't worry about layering your hair, unless you want to.) Straighten your hair, with either an iron or gel. If your hair is wavy, just use hairspray/gel to weigh it down. Or, you can use what are known as 'emo weights.' Not being the actual name, these clips come in difference sizes and different types for different purposes, but actual go under a layer of your hair to weight it down. New types exist that do things such as hold it up, or spiral it. Dye your hair black and maybe add some red or blonde streaks. Flip your hair upside down and blow-dry it. It doesn't matter if it is dry already, the heat just accentuates the layers in your hair. Accessorize your hair, once you're happy with the color and style. Bows are always your best choice, along with other funky hair clips. Don't forget the eyeliner! Girls can never have too much. If you're a guy, go moderate on the eyeliner and forget accessories. Leave your hair just everywere like it is in the morning. Mostly works great! If you have short emoish hair you may want to spike it or just mess with it after your morning shower.
