Many Halloween costumes don’t cover up the head, which means you have to find something to do with your hair. This year, instead of making your hair just a part of your costume, make it the focal point. You have an abundance of options to get creative with, especially if you add in some hair extensions to give you more length to work with. Whether it’s simply tying your hair up in a bun and making it look like a pumpkin, creating some Medusa-inspired curls or even creating a full lion’s mane, you have the chance to truly showcase your hair this Halloween. Here are some ideas for making your hair the focal point of your costume.
Colorful Unicorns and Mermaids
Mythical creatures like unicorns and mermaids are popular Halloween costumes. Instead of buying a costume of one of them, create your own and start with your hair. With a little bit of pastel hair paint, some waves, curls and braids, you’ll create a magical hairstyle that won’t cause any damage to your hair. Using hair extensions is ideal for this costume so you have more length and volume to work with. You’ll be sure to impress at any Halloween party.
Pumpkin Buns
The pumpkin bun will be a trendy Halloween costume this year. If you have straight hair, simply pull your hair up into a tight bun on the top of your head. Paint it orange and add some fake leaves and you’ll be in the Halloween spirit in a matter of minutes. The best Halloween hairstyles are the ones you won’t have to alter your quality hair care routine much for, and this is one of them.
Medusa-Inspired Curls
If you’re feeling really creative this Halloween, you can try your hand at a full Medusa-inspired costume. Clip in hair extensions to maximize volume and create voluminous curls that can’t be achieved without them. When you curl your hair, it’s always a good idea to use leave in conditioner beforehand just for added strength and to give it more hold. Incorporate accessories like gold-painted snakes, flowers and other gold accessories to complete your Medusa look.
Curly Lion’s Mane
For people with naturally curly hair, the easy choice for Halloween costumes is a lion’s mane. This looks best if you have tightly-wound curls, but even loose curls would get the job done. Focus on your quality hair care routine to maximize the volume of your hair as much as possible to get the full effect. Then all you need to add are lion ears and face paint and you’ll be ready to go.
