Halloween Hairstyles: No Costume Required

Halloween costumes can be a costly expense for a getup that will only be worn once a year. If you're looking for a way to partake in the festivities without breaking the bank, consider focusing on your hairstyle. Many hairstyles can be designed as the focal point of any look, making a costume beyond what's already in your closet unnecessary. Consider these easy show stopping looks:

1. Colorful Locks

Temporary hair dyes are available in hair salons in Davie, FL as well as Halloween shops, pharmacies and department stores. Some are as easy to apply as hairspray and they offer endless possibilities. Opt for a silver spray and a cardigan to play the role of a sweet (or scary) senior citizen. Delve into the rockstar lifestyle with a leather jacket and a firery red hair color. You can even add a plethora of hues in a rainbow assortment to become a magical unicorn (simply add a horn to a headband). In either scenario, temporary colors are one of the most versatile options for Halloween hairstyles that are the focal point of your look.

2. Spider Bun

Summon your inner Halloween diva and sport a spooky spider on your head. To get the look, create a bun on the top of your head for the body. Pull out eight small strands from the bun and braid them to create the "legs'' of the spider. The legs can also be created by inserting black pipe cleaners into the bun if you're looking for more simplicity. Once you're done, hot glue some craft googly eyes to a hair clip and viola- instant spider goddess. Add a black top and black leggings for an unforgettable and inexpensive Halloween look.

3. Medusa "Snake" Hair

Medusa is best known for her head full of "snakes". While we don't recommended adorning your scalp with real snakes, you can create the look in several ways. One of the easiest includes creating a series of twists and braids throughout your hair. A stronghold gel or pomade can help them to stand up and produce a more believable illusion. Another option is to style your locks in a traditional bun or simple updo. From there, tuck small plastic snakes strategically into the hair. You can also get the wild look by adding curled pipe cleaners throughout the hair.

4. Pretty Princess

If spooky isn't your vibe for Halloween, consider a classic pretty princess look. Add a cheap tiara to an elaborate updo or keep it simple with glossy, straight locks and a crown. Pair it with your favorite dress for an instantly recognizable and inexpensive D.I.Y. costume.
