Other guys emo hairstyles are spiked around the back of the head and they also have a fringe at the front of the head which may give the emo guy a more gothic look.
I have mentioned in the emo hairstyles for girls section that all you need to achieve the hairstyles you want is some dye, a pair of scissors and maybe a razor. Well, it's pretty much the same for boys although some gel mousse and styling hairspray or wax may come in handy when it comes to maintaining your emo hairstyles.
To start off with, it's not easy either - people devote a large majority of their time to achieve the perfect look they are after.
Another factor which makes an emo haircut stand out is that they are not sheared by professional stylists instead anyone can style themselves! Even better is that anything goes, from long sideburns to bold short hairstyle. Guy emo hairstyles are exactly like that and that is exactly why emo boys prefer them so much!
