Explore Halloween-themed hairstyles for the ultimate hair-raising look.
The spooky season is finally here, so it’s high time to dress up for a costume party and find a matching hairdo. From the iconic catwoman’s braided ears and ghost buns to pirate bandana styles and movie character-inspired ‘dos – Halloween hairstyles offer multiple creative ideas to complete your festive glam. Get ready to celebrate All Saints’ Eve with these scary-but-stylish looks!
This last-minute braided style is worthy of your attention because it’s fairly easy to recreate and looks good on all hair types. Start by sectioning off and braiding the two hair sections closer to your face.
Attach an elastic to each braid by sliding it down the strands a bit to form two triangles that look like cat ears. Grab your straightener and clamp the braids with it, making the angles sharper and more defined. Finish off the look with matching makeup, and you’re ready to rock!
If you have naturally curly hair, you might love this bandana hairstyle that pairs well with a pirate costume. To get the look, part your hair down the middle and braid both sides of the head while leaving the front tendrils loose.
Cover your head with a favorite bandana and tie the ends at the back. For a more authentic appeal, attach hair piercings, charms, and beads. Now, put your pirate costume on, and head off to treasure hunting.
Don’t have much time for a hairdo? No problem! We’ve got your back on this one. Here is a cool style that won’t take you long to make. Gather your hair in two high pigtails first. Next, create buns out of them by twisting and wrapping each hair section around the base of the pigtail.
Cover the buns with pocket tissues and secure them with a clear elastic. For a final touch, draw the eyes with a black marker. Ta-da! Now you have cute little ghosts out of your locks!
Wednesday Adams is by far the most recognizable Halloween character whose thick, black tresses and gothic dresses steal the show every year. Embrace your dark side with this signature crown braid hairstyle! Create two braids and wrap them around your head by moving from the top to the opposite sides.
Secure everything with bobby pins, and you’re good to go. Want to sport Wednesday’s wispy fringe too? Try to make fake bangs by leaving your ends unbraided and pulling them through the crown braid to the front instead of tucking them in.
We all love perky ponytails for their swishiness and volume. So, how about wearing one for a Halloween party as a nod to this Barbie-inspired hairstyle? Start out by separating the front section from the rest of your hair. Pull your locks up in a high ponytail.
Create a side part style with your front strands and tie the ends at the back of the head, just below the pony. Use some hair gel and a soft brush for a sleek finish. Flip the ends out for a more playful look and the ultimate Barbie-core vibe.
If you’re still unsure about your Halloween glam, let us make things a bit easier for you when it comes to picking out a spooky hairstyle. Give these hairdos a try and enjoy the party!
