Food Coloring = Temporary Hair Dye

Things You'll Need

1. Empty bottle or shampoo bottle
   
2. Shampoo
   
3. gloves
   
4. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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

Some of my fav graphics.

Emo Bob Hairstyle

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
