Halloween is the perfect time to get creative, and your hairstyle is no exception! Whether you’re going for something cute, creepy, or downright dramatic, a unique hairdo can elevate your costume. Here are some spooky hairstyles that will help you embrace the Halloween spirit.

Classic Witch’s Hair

To create that quintessential witchy look, start with loose, wavy hair. This could be your natural hair or a wig in a fun color. Use a curling iron to add some curls and volume. Next, tease the crown for added height. Add stripes of green or any other color dispersed through your hair. You can either add clip-in extensions, use green hairspray, or dye your hair. Consider adding a black witch hat to complete the look.

Spider Web Updo

This intricate hairstyle is perfect for a spooky but elegant look. Start by pulling your hair into a half-up up half-down style. Secure the hair on top of your head with a hair tie and separate it into small strands to braid and weave other small strands of hair through to create a “web”. You Finish with an insect or spider hair clip on the top!

Blood Drip Hair

 For a hairdo that’s both stylish and gory, try the blood drip braid. Begin with a classic braid or a fishtail braid. Once you’re satisfied with the braid, use red hair gel or temporary hair dye to create a “dripping blood” effect, and stain the hair red.  This look is perfect for a zombie or vampire costume.

Poison Ivy Look

Channel your inner villain with a Poison Ivy-inspired hairstyle (you can choose any other character too!). Start with long, flowing red hair. This could be a wig or your natural hair.  Accessorize with fake leaves or flowers woven into your hair for a natural yet spooky vibe. This look is perfect for those wanting a glamorous, nature-inspired comic costume!

Corpse Bride Hair

Combine elegance with a spooky twist by going for a Tim Burton hair look!  Corpse bride hair is the perfect mix. Start with flowing soft waves. Get blue hair spray in several shades. Once you have colored (or dyed) your hair, use white hair chalk to create details.  You can also enhance the look by doing your makeup to match.
