Emo hairstyle is one way to separate oneself from the pack. While everyone can get the same clothes and fashion accessories, a person's hair is totally unique to them. Even make up is often the same and limited to what people can buy in local stores. Hair, however, is totally individual to each and every person, and they can make different styles from what they have which will see them be totally unique.
That said, there are generally certain styles which young women in this subculture like to choose. Generally, because of the pessimistic outlook that they have, there is a desire to keep things jet black when it comes to hair. People who are naturally dark haired find their natural hair color is not sufficiently bleak in tone to do: they will often ensure that it is perfectly black like coal by using hair dyes to make it so.
Occasionally, this is counteracted by a girl who wants to stand out from the crowd. However, in this section of society, people will often look to diametrically opposite colors. Therefore if dark black is not the preferred look, then often it is bleached blond, almost white and incredibly vibrant. This is not a Barbie style of hair color - that would be anathema to any self respecting emo. Rather, it is punky and fierce, and shows that the person has no nonsense when it comes to their lifestyle.
