The spookiest season of the year is right around the corner, which means it's time to start planning those Halloween costumes. Although you put a lot of effort into the clothing and makeup, it is equally important to consider your hairstyle to complete the costume. Discover 4 simple Halloween hairstyles that anyone can pull off in minutes:
1. Zombie Bride
To get the full effect of a zombie bride look, the costume relies heavily on facial makeup. After adding white or green makeup to your skin, simply leave your hair in its natural state and adorn it with a veil. This is also an affordable costume that will allow you to repurpose an old formal dress or wedding gown found at a local thrift shop. If you want to take the look a step further, you can add a black wig or tease your hair to give it a “bedhead” look.
2. Creepy Clown
While some might argue that regular clowns are creepy enough on their own, this Halloween look takes it a step further. Traditional clown makeup is taken up a notch with the addition of haunting smiles or illusive stares. When it comes to a hairstyle to complement this costume, however, there is a lot of room for creativity. Some opt to use a temporary red dye for a classic clown look, while others experiment with rainbow colors or stick with their natural hue. Likewise, you can opt for a polished style with a fun updo or opt for a messier look with loose waves or curls. We recommend trying out a few different looks to see which one works best with your makeup and costume.
3. Horned Creature
When it comes to Halloween hairstyles, accessories play a big role in executing the perfect look. For this horned creature look, a pair of horns is all you need. If you prefer to skip the accessories, you can create smaller horns using your hair. Simply create two small ponytails on the sides of your head. Wrap the length of the ponytail around the base of the hair tie and then shape them to look like horns. Pin them in place using bobbi pins and spritz with hairspray to keep the style in place throughout your Halloween celebrations.
4. Cute Cat
If zombies and creepy clowns aren’t your style, consider a cute and simple approach. You can easily create the look of “ears” by creating two small buns on the top of your head. This works well if you are going for the look of a cat, tiger, lion or any animal with notable ears. Afterwards, add a small amount of facepaint or eyeliner to create whiskers and a nose for an effortless Halloween look in minutes.
