How To Get Scene Hair

In order to have scene type hair, you need to grow your hair and bangs long enough. If your hair is too short you may want to add to extensions. Bangs should reach at least to your cheeks. If you want long bangs then you should make sure the hair goes past your chin.

You can either get your haircut professionally or try and do it yourself. If you go to someone it is a good idea to take pictures of the exact style that you want.

* In case you are cutting the hair yourself, taper the bangs in such a way that they cover only one eye.

As for the rest of your hair cut the layers very blocky or choppy.

The back of the hair should not touch your shoulders. It has to be kept hardly a few inches below your hairline, at the nape of your neck.

You will need to straighten your hair if needed. If your hair is straight then you are lucky and can skip this step.

Next you will want to color your hair. The best colors are black or bleach blond or both.

* After coloring your hair, you will be required to add streaks. For blonde hair, bright blue or pink will look good. In case of black hair, it is best to go for blonde streaks.

You can style your emo scene hair further. Using wax, separate the layers piece by piece. With wax covered fingers, and pull down on the hair. The layers will stand separate from one another, looking hot. Use a light hairspray to make the hair stay in place.
