Let the Hair do the Talking

Halloween is one of those fun times when you get to be someone else for a day. Beyond the traditional costumes and makeup, why not opt for a creative hairstyle that also doubles as your costume? Here are some great ideas for easy DIY Halloween hairstyles that you can pull off without a degree in cosmetology.

You know how it goes – on Halloween, you always feel the pressure to go all out with your costume. But who has the time or money to spend hours applying makeup and buying expensive outfits? This year, instead of stressing over the perfect costume, let your hair do all the talking.

For everyone from the DIY beginners to the more experienced stylists, the right Halloween hairstyle can elevate a simple outfit to something truly spooky. All you need are some hair accessories, hairspray, and these 25 fantastic hairstyle ideas that’ll make you say “Now why didn’t I think of that?”

Imagine attending a Halloween party dressed as Medusa. Instead of finding a snake costume or mask, you curate your locks to represent the menace of her serpentine nest. Use green color spray on your hair, twist it into numerous small braids, intertwining some faux snakes, finishing with a deep setting spray.

Begin by washing and thoroughly drying your hair.

Spray on some temporary green-colored hair dye.

Next, create multiple small, tight braids all over your head.

Intertwine a few rubber snakes within these braids.

Use a heavy-duty hairspray or gel to hold everything in place.

And voila! Your Medusa hairstyle is ready.

Mermaid Waves

Who doesn’t fantasize about being a magical mermaid at least once in their life? You can actualize this dream during Halloween by styling your hair into beautiful, gleaming mermaid waves. Mermaid-inspired hairstyles can lend an ethereal feel to your overall costume, and the best part is, they’re surprisingly easy to create.

Whether it’s Ariel’s bouncing red curls or a silver-blue hue more reminiscent of a siren, the ocean gives us endless sources of inspiration. With a splash of color and texture-infusing technique, you’ll turn heads as you swish that magical mermaid mane around.

Recall Aquamarine’s fabulous sea-green locks with loose cascading waves? Just like her, you too can transform into a dazzling mermaid this Halloween. All you need are some hair coloring spray, shimmering hair pins, and a few minutes in front of the mirror with your curling wand.

First, apply a temporary blue or green dye to elevate sea-like colors.

Curl your entire hair section by section, ensuring loose, bouncy waves.

Add some sparkle with beautiful hairpins spread out evenly across.

Use hairspray to retain those luscious curls.

If there are extensions required, clip them on.

And there you have it, authentically Alluring Mermaid Waves!
