A short spiked-up emo hairstyle is typically characterized by short, choppy layers and spikes that are styled upwards. Our model looks stunning in this hairstyle. The look is best suited for the brave and needs a product for hold and shine. You will need to use a strong-hold hair gel or pomade to hold the spikes in place to achieve this look. You can create the spikes by using your fingers to pull small sections of hair upwards and then applying the gel or pomade to hold them in place. You can also use hair wax or clay to add texture and make the spikes stand out. To style a spiked-up hairstyle, you must start by washing and drying your hair. This highlighted emo hairdo is tapered into the head around the back and sides for shape and smoothed down through the front to complement the face, while the crown is teased and spiked up and out for texture. Once your hair is dry, apply a small amount of hair gel or pomade to your fingers and work it through, focusing on the top and front sections.

You must touch up the highlights once every six weeks and keep the color vibrant and fresh. Use your fingers to create the spikes by pulling small sections of hair upwards and then applying more gel or pomade to hold them in place. You can use a hair dryer to help set the style and make the spikes more pronounced. To maintain the style, you may need to touch up the spikes with the additional product throughout the day.
