Halloween hair: spooky styles to try

Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to get into the spirit than by experimenting with some spooky hairstyles? Whether you’re dressing up for a party or just want to add a touch of Halloween flair to your look, we’ve got some hair-raising ideas for you. Here are some spooky styles to try this Halloween season.

The classic witch

Channel your inner sorceress with long, flowing locks. Use a curling wand to create loose waves, and add some temporary black or dark purple colour spray for that extra witchy vibe. Finish the look with a pointed hat, and you’re ready to cast some spells!

Vampire chic

For a vampire-inspired look, go for sleek, straight hair with a deep side part. Add a touch of red hair chalk or spray near the tips for a “bloody” effect. Pair this hairstyle with a dark, dramatic makeup look, and you’ll be ready to roam the night.

Zombie mess

Embrace the undead with a messy, disheveled hairstyle. Tease your hair at the roots to create volume and use a texturizing spray to give it a gritty, “just-rose-from-the-grave” texture. You can even add some green or gray temporary colour for a decaying effect.

Pumpkin spice curls

If you’re looking for something cute rather than creepy, try some pumpkin spice-coloured curls. Use temporary orange and brown hair chalk to add streaks of colour to your locks, then curl your hair with a medium-barrel curling iron. This look is perfect for those who want to celebrate Halloween without going full-on spooky.

Ghostly braids

For a hauntingly beautiful style, try some ethereal braids. Create loose, messy braids and pull out some strands for a wispy effect. Use a white or silver temporary colour spray to give your hair a ghostly glow.

Halloween is the perfect time to get creative with your hair. Whether you’re going for a classic witch or a cute pumpkin spice look, these spooky styles are sure to turn heads. So go ahead, let your hair down (or up, or sideways) and have some fun this Halloween season!
