Description
These long glossy emo waves with blunt cut bangs will give a complete makeover to your look. This hairstyle is perfect for women looking for a cute style. This 'do is often associated with the emo subculture, characterized by emotional expression, a passion for music, and a non-conformist attitude.
If you have an oval or diamond shape face, the blunt-cut bangs of this style will shape your face nicely. To achieve this look, start applying a high-shine product to damp hair. Use a flat iron to smooth out the waves and create a sleek, glossy finish. This is a hairstyle for women of any age. This gorgeous glossy emo hairstyle has waves added to the back and sides while the heavy bangs are blow-waved smooth to frame the top of the face for a contrasted look and feel. This brilliant emo 'do is easy to re-create at home with the right tools and products and will need regular trims to prevent split ends. Thin hair that is fine or medium in texture can make this sleek and glossy style work best. A blow dryer should be used if the hair is thin and straight to add volume and texture. Otherwise, it will not look like the style shown in the picture. Once the hair is styled, use gel or pomade to make the bangs into a blunt cut.
This style is perfect for a night out or a concert and will turn heads wherever you go.
This look will necessitate regular trims every 4-6 weeks to maintain the hairstyle's shape. The style has a low shine and moderate density with rocker ends that make it easy to manage. Apply a small amount of smoothing shine to your top sections for shine and hold.

Styling Steps
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
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.
To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.
To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.
When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.
A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.
Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.
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.
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.
