This has been and still is one of the most popular emo hairstyles for girls and boys in particular - I see many people with this kind of hairstyle at my bus stop and to be honest I like it! The looks are similar to the long bangs to the comb-over approach. However, on this style of emo hairstyles, the back of the hair exposes a long tail and is dragged to one side of the head in most cases. For example, if the bangs are naturally or combed to the right side, then the tail would be cut and left on the left side of the head/ face.
The comb over is also called 'scene hair' and a large range of popular bands use this type of emo hairstyle, such as Green Day and My Chemical Romance. The popularity has increased over the years and you men have been influenced by these bands to copy their style of haircut.
The emo hairstyles for girls may consist of a straight fringe above the eyes and reasonably long hair extenstions dyed usually black but other lighter colours such as white blonde are also accepted.

The guy emo hairstyles consists of the same straight fringe slightly above the eyes (and in some cases covering them) and cut straight with layers just below the jaw line.
