There’s such a variety of ways the emo style can be cut that you can find one to flatter any facial shape. If you have a wide or round face go for layers in the front sections and crown. Long, sideswept bangs that just hit the corner of the eye look best with a heart shaped face and longer styles for longer faces. It can be worn short, medium or long. It’s all about how you want to express yourself.
