10 Emo Bangs Styles to Try
Want to try out emo fringe? From two-toned looks to blunt side-swept bangs, check out the variety of styles you can try to sport this look.
1. Side Swept and Classic
We like to call this the grown-up version of emo bangs. A side-swept style paired with long straight strands makes this style accessible while still maintaining a statement. The feathered finish offers a grown-up alternative to a teen-friendly emo style.
2. Blunt Bleach Blonde Bangs
By cutting your bangs a little wider than you usually would, you let your cheekbones do all the talking under a set of strong and blunt bleach blonde bangs. When taking care of bleached hair, use a purple shampoo like Nexxus Blonde Assure Purple Shampoo and Conditioner. We love this set because is has keratin proteins in it to help smooth and strengthen your hair while the violet pigments help prevent brassiness.
3. Feathered Bleached Bangs

If you’re really feeling bold and looking for a way to streamline your hair care routine then pair a short bob with a pair of super blunt bleach blonde fringe. Maintain your bleached color with Love Beauty and Planet Blooming Color Murumuru Butter and Rose 2X Concentrated Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner. This will make your color last through washes and maintain its health.
4. Asymmetrical and Short
This style is proof that hairstyles that include bangs aren’t all high maintenance. An asymmetrical style like this is a great way to air-dry and go. Not for the faint of heart, this length is definitely a commitment, so make sure you’re ready to make the cut!
5. Classy Micro Bangs
If you’ve been rocking rooted blonde hair, you might be looking for some ways to mix this look up a bit! Why not add some dimension to your face with some micro bangs. We love the way this hair color contrasts with darker brows.
6. Purple Bob + Micro Bangs
Make double the statement with a purple-pink bob paired with a thin set of micro bangs. This is perfect for anyone who wants fringe, but doesn’t want to commit to a very blunt style.
7. Air Dried and Teased
Let your thick strands air dry and tease the front to achieve this beautiful statement style. Add more texture and enhance your air-dried look with Suave Dry Texture Finishing Spray.
8. Thick Straight Full Bangs
Hair that’s both thick and straight can be really difficult to deal with. Lessen the load by opting for a set of thick full bangs that are a great mix of classic and emo. Allow your makeup and clothes to dictate if your style is more emo or classic depending on the day and your mood.
9. Face-Framing Layered Emo Bangs
Soften the transition into emo bangs by opting for face-framing layers. Wear your hair up or down, and let your emo bangs take center stage. The blunt eyebrow brushing cut and length keep this look firmly in emo territory.
10. A Pop of Pink
Does anything scream emo more than a pop of pink highlights? This blonde-gray base pairs perfectly with pink highlights. This pastel pink hue is subtle yet noticeable nod to the emo trend.
