Emo/scene hair?

I'm a guy, and I've been looking to have emo/scene hair for quite a long time now.
I've been straightening my hair and I've had it layered, razored, ect... but it's still really bulky and stiff almost. I have very thin, but VERY VERY thick hair. I want...

medium/long hair, and I'd rather not spike it or mess it up in the back.
I might dye it sometime, but not any time soon.

Should I just get a bunch more layers and try to thin it out as much as possible?

The picture is of me a month or so back, it's much longer now.

Try looking for a picture on google,printing it out,and bringing it to the place you get your hair cut.
thats what I do.

I've taken a picture to a hair salon before and the girl still didn't do it quite right.
When I dye it, I'll probably to black with white tips, hahaha.

Is there any way I can help keep my hair in strands versus it just flat after I straighten it?
I get a lot of comments from people saying I have like helmet hair, hah.

Haha scene hair is gay, grow your hair out like a real man.

Be a thrasher not a puzzy

I totally agree with downassnikehomie
emo/scene hair really sucks
in my opinion guys with that kinda hair look no different to emo girls.
seriously..

but watever- if your into that gay look so be it..
dont do any more layers that will puff it up even more

I agree with the two people above me
and I think girls mostley do that stuff
but quick/serious question
are you gay
that hair is nasty
grow a dick

well,
from your picture,
I say your hair looks pretty hott...
but you should get it thinned out a bit.
