Ania Cozzolino
This style is most often seen amongst the people who are inspired by punk rockers. In 1990, this hairstyle got a lot of popularity in the Asian culture, Chinese and Japanese rockabilly and punk music groups.
Devilock is horror punk hairstyle which looks daunting evil in appearance. The signature Devilock haircut includes long, pointed fringe that falls straights on the front over the nose and ends over the chin while the sides and back of the head are kept shorter.
It is ideal for medium and long length hair. Here, the back and side are not cut shorter while the back hair pops out from the sides like the wings haircut. All the remaining hair combed forward and styled into a straight and long pointed fringe. The top looks a bit messy and muddled completing the bad boy vibes.
This grimy devilock look can be achieved by cutting the side and back hair short while leaving few hair strands longer from the front and top is kept enough long which can be styled into messy spikes later. It can be a great choice to adapt for Halloween parties.
You do not have to spend a lot of time in styling the spikes, just brushed up the top hair to make them stand in the upright direction after that, use a hair spray to hold the spikes and pointed long hair strand in place.
Boys with curly hair do not have to worry about achieving this devilish hairstyle anymore, because of its sleek and glossy structure as you can turn your natural curls into devilock hairstyle dramatically. Style the front fringe through a hairdryer.
There is no need to apply any gel or pomade as in this case, the curls look better in a dry rough texture just like a bedhead look. To give it a natural appearance and to hold the curly lock you can use the matte-finish hair product.
Having such a modish combo can give you hundreds of styling ideas that will provide you a promising transition from punk weekend look to a formal office look as well, for example, you can style this ideal length hair into a pompadour or slick hairstyle.
Here is the most sophisticated version of the classic that you can carry without looking like a weirdo. Short taper fade at the side and back hair, Sweep back the top hair and pull forward few hair strands in the form of pointed fringe to achieve Devilock features.
The devilock is a hairstyle created by Misfits bassist Jerry Only in the late 1970s.[1] In an early 1980s interview, Jerry Only claimed that the devilock was based on a "tidal wave" hairstyle seen among the 1970s skateboarding communities. In the same interview, former Misfits vocalist Glenn Danzig explains that his version of the hairstyle developed from an imitation of Eddie Munster's hairstyle. A style similar to the Devilock was sported earlier - for instance the elephant trunk hairstyle of the 1950s, the Surfari's cover picture of 'Gum-dipped Slicks' (1964) shows a member of the band with a devilock-like quiff,[2] as did the guitarist from the contemporaneous Tornadoes of Bustin' Surfboards fame.[3]
In a devilock, the sides and back of the hair are kept short, while the front is kept long and combed forward.[4] In the late 1990s, the devilock experienced a resurgence of popularity in Asian markets that saw the hairstyle spread from punk rock to mainstream culture. Following popularization in Japanese and Chinese rock groups, the hairstyle's name was appropriated by Noriaki Endo in his chain of retail clothing stores.[5][6] The "Devilock" brand currently sponsors music events called "Devilock Nights" throughout Southeast Asia.[7]
The devilock hairstyle is a hairstyle in which the hair on the sides and back of the head is cut very close to the scalp, and the front portion of the hair is allowed to grow very long. This long front portion is generally styled into a spike that points straight down the face towards, or even over, the chin. The use of gel, pomade, hair spray, and other styling products may be necessary to achieve this. The band The Misfits, which emerged on the American punk rock music scene in the late 1970s, is generally credited with developing the devilock hairstyle. The band's bassist, Jerry Only, claims that the devilock hairstyle was adapted from the already-existing tidal wave hairstyle often worn by skateboarders of the era, while the vocalist, Glen Danzig, has stated that the hairstyle was intended to pay homage to the hairstyle of Eddie Munster, a child character on the 1960s American television program The Munsters.
There are at least two versions of the devilock hairstyle. One is generally considered more appropriate for short hair, while the other is typically recommended for those with long hair. The shorter version of the hairstyle typically involves keeping most of the hair cut very close to the scalp, although shaving the head totally bald is not usually recommended. The hair around the forehead, which is often used to create a facial fringe in many hairstyles, is then pulled down over the face and manipulated into a spike, often using hair products such as gel, pomade, or hair spray to help the hair retain its shape.
The longer version of the devilock hairstyle is generally recommended for those who have very long hair, and don't wish to cut it. The average hair length for this version of the style is about 8 inches (20.3 centimeters). The hair is typically combed forward over the face. Hair spray, gel, or pomade may be applied to the hair at this point, and it is then generally twisted into a spike with the hands. A downward-facing hair dryer can often be used to dry the style into this position.
It is believed that the devilock hairstyle has been popular among fans of alternative music since it was adopted by The Misfits. Bands such as AFI and The Cure have also been known to perform while wearing this hairstyle.
With a playing style virtually unmatched in its raw, pounding and ferocious approach, guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein has been stomping stages and shredding strings around the world for more than 30 years now.
Tom actually recently cut his hair off, but in the picture it was a short-medium length shaggy cut. A few layers in the front so it can be swept off to the side. Actually if you go to CIWWAF's myspace, or I think Tom still has some older pictures up on his myspace that show his hair better than my picture does. Like I said he's recently cut it short but I prefer the longer style he had going a few months ago.
As for what I know about him, he's only about 5'5"-5'7", brown hair, brown eyes. He honestly is one of the sweetest guys I've met. He's a bit shy, but if you can find him I highly recommend talking to him. He's incredibly nice and gives the best hugs. Very gracious too.

Another gallery for emo girls with blonde hair shorter than shoulder. The usual emo hair for females: cut short, just above the shoulders. Tips and streaks are the most widely used version. Side bangs is also a common trait.25 comments
A toned-down version of the famous mohawk haircut popularized by David Beckham. Instead of shaving the side of your head, you just glue up the middle part or make the central strip of hair stand up so that it is in the style of the mohawk. The faux hawk resembles the mohawk when styled but can also, if desired, appear to be a conventional emo hairstyle.12 comments

The "shag" cut, with the so called "emo sweep" at the front, sloped to cover, so only one eye is visible for most parts. Emo hairstyles does not necessarily have to be short and hidden face sort of thing though it is usually of that fashion.

Emo or anime? Blue hair on a female emo girl tends to indicate shyness or introversion, a correspondence which seems to have originated with Ami "Sailor Mercury" Mizuno from Sailor Moon. - tvtropes.orgLabels: blue hair
The meaning behind Devilock is open to interpretation, as is the case with many songs. However, there are several prevailing interpretations that shed light on its underlying themes. One interpretation suggests that the devilock mentioned in the song refers to a hairstyle affiliated with punk rock culture. The devilock hairstyle features long bangs draped over one eye, often associated with rebellion and the punk subculture. This interpretation considers the song as an anthem of rebellion against societal norms, embracing individuality and freedom.
While the devilock hairstyle can be seen as a metaphorical reference, the song itself delves into a broader sense of rebellion and breaking away from societal constraints. It resonates with those who identify with the punk philosophy and embrace individuality.
