Whimsical Balletcore

Taking inspiration from the biggest beauty trend that emerged at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2024, ribbon hair makes for a romantic—and easy—Halloween hair look. Celebrity hairstylist Lacy Redway created these “Barre Braids” at Christian Siriano, where she gathered the ends of two braids into a low bun. The ribbon was then weaved in between to resemble a corset for the ultimate balletcore hair.

Wednesday Addams's Braided Pigtails

For when you want the dark academia aesthetic with a spooky edge, you channel your inner Wednesday Addams. Before styling hair, opt for a nourishing hair serum that will smooth away any flyways and keep hair looking shiny. Simply split hair into two sections, parting hair directly down the middle. Then create a standard braid on each side and secure the ends with clear elastics.

Barbie Half-Up Half-Down

Halloween 2023 wouldn’t be complete without Margot Robbie's Barbie. Lucky for us, there are many different Barbies to choose from. One costume idea this half-up half-down hairdo adorned with an adorable pink gingham bow for a nice added touch.

The Pulp Fiction Bob

When talking about timeless Halloween hair looks, Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction is always in the conversation. The dark blunt bob and matching blunt bangs are a classic and can be replicated easily. If your hair is already short, all you need is a heat protectant spray that also gives hair a sleek glossy finish. If all else fails, opt for a wig.

'90s Pop Icon

It’s hard to pick just one Britney Spears look, but you can never go wrong with one of her famous pigtailed looks in her concert above or “...One More Time” music video era. For these pigtails, simply section hair into two parts and tie up each section just above the ears. Don’t forget to add fun accents like the fluffy pink pom poms, bows, or body glitter depending on the look.

Breakfast At Tiffany's

The makeup look is minimalistic on this one thanks to the sunglasses. Instead, dedicate all your time teasing and pinning hair into a side-parted chignon to imitate Audrey Hepburn's iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's role.

Supermodel Blowout

The ‘90s was the decade that defined the supermodel and what better way to pay homage this Halloween than with the signature supermodel blowout? Use a lifting texture spray to give your hair body and lift.

Princess Leias' Buns

One of the best parts of the Princess Leia buns is that it can be done in less than 10 minutes. Simply section your hair into two low ponytails. Then twist your hair before wrapping the section around the side of your head to cover the ears. Pin it in place to secure it and you’ve got the most iconic space buns for your Halloween hair look.

Bridgerton Black Tie

All you need is a simple—yet elegant—updo to go with whatever 19th-century-inspired ensemble you choose to wear. And you can’t forget a jeweled headpiece to finish off the look.

Morticia Addams' Pin Straight Hair

With her long and glossy jet-black strands, Morticia Addams proves that Wednesday isn’t the only Addams you should take Halloween hair inspo from. Simply use a flat iron to get your hair straight and shiny.
