The scene hair style work best with the proper styling and wardrobe; some do it right, others just look ridiculous.

Here are the best scene hair cuts for boys, pictures included:

Short Emo Cuts – if your hair is short, better just grow it out and have more of a medium-length scene style, because you’ll just look preposterous with short hair. My advice, of course. No offense if you’re one of the shorties and you think you look très cool.

Medium Emo Cuts – This is the way to go if you’re a dude, but that’s just my humble opinion. Something like this:

Now let’s move on to emo hair cuts for girls. The typical approach is to color your hair to get the best effect. In fact, if you’re not coloring your hair, you may be doing it wrong, unless you’ve got black hair or naturally freakishly blonde hair, which is pretty rare.

Many profess that “messy” is the way to go. I don’t really know of any scene hair cuts that are not at least a little messy, so that’s a pretty broad statement. But the idea is that if you tease your hair up in such a way that it gives it a nasty, tousled look, then you might be doing it right. Check it out:

This girl went straight and short with her cut, and bleached the hell out of it. For a glow-in-the-dark look with style that screams, she’s doing it right.

Mix it up. Go straight, short, multi-colored, messy and put it all together to get something like this.

If you’ve got long hair and don’t want to cut it off, fear not. It is totally possible to pull off a way-cool look with long hair. You no doubt noticed the images above, but check out what this borderline-goth look is doing for the girl with a pink accent:

Don’t go out of your way to straighten those golden locks. So your hair is naturally wavy or curly? Awesome. Don’t fight against your hair, work with it. Make your curls into something beautiful. If you try to straighten it and it fails, you’ve got a not-quite-straight hair look that’s trying to be something more. You missed the mark.

Use color to your advantage, but don’t go so crazy if you’ve got a job to keep in the corporate world. They’ll hate all over you. Remember that the more you color your hair and the more bleaching you do, the worse your hair will look. Color it for a while, let it go away and take care of that mop on your head. You don’t want crappy frazzled dried-up hair, and you need to take good care of it if you really care.

I am bald. No, not in the gross-old-guy-with-a-smooth-patch-up-top kind of way or in that weird Britney-loses-her-mind way. I’m bald in the Bruce Willis/Chris Daughtry kind of way. I’d say like Vin Diesel, but I’m not that stacked. I’m bald by choice. So, what the hell am I doing writing about hair? Well I’ll tell you. I was walking down the street the other day thinking to myself that my hairstyle (or lack thereof) is the only one that is not bound by time. It is classic at the same time as being edgy. It takes people by surprise, not because you’ve never seen a bald dude before, but because people are “supposed” to have hair.

That is why these new-fangled hairstyles like emo and scene hair will never last beyond the current generation. It will die out like the bowl cut, the Marge Simpson tower, the Princess Leia buns, the curly Parliament wigs and countless others. It’ll look pretty freakin’ cool for about 5 years, but once you get out of high school (MAYBE college, but that’s pushing it) you’re going to want something a little less “dated”.

I hope I didn’t offend you into going to another site now; I’m just getting my opinion out there. That being said, I did say that it looks “pretty freakin’ cool” so I’m going to show you just how cool it can look by giving you examples and resources to find some awesome looking emo/scene hair.

Hair is a weird thing. People “read you like a book” based on your hair. Much like the phrase “you can tell a lot about a man by looking at his shoes”, you can tell a lot about the person by looking at their hair. Is it unkempt? Dirty? Greasy? Over-styled? Multi-colored? Gelled? Moussed? Permed? Gone? Why do people put so much effort into the hair they choose? Does it really speak to others about the quality of your person? How does emo hair differentiate you from your peers? Does it really say who you are, or does it say who you want to be? Will you change your hairstyle to match others just to fit in? Is it all just a game and you don’t take it seriously? Should you take it seriously?

There’s about a zillion questions that probe much further into the psychology behind personality traits there than I ever want to attempt to answer, but I’ll deal with a few of these in this site, in particular those relating to scene hair and the culture that feeds it. I hope you find interesting material here that isn’t one-sided or closed-minded. I hope this site takes you to places you like to go. Enjoy.
