5 easy Halloween hairstyles
1. Spider web hairstyle
First on our list of easy and scary DIY Halloween hairstyles is this wonderful art piece from Poppy Hairstyles!
Begin by creating a stylish and intricate hairstyle by dividing your hair into four sections at the front. Secure the remaining hair at the back into a chic half up ponytail.
Further enhance the look by splitting the two middle sections into halves and tying them together. Next, tie the remaining halves with the right and left squares, respectively.
Divide the middle section again and tie the right and left halves with their corresponding strands. Combine the two remaining strands and incorporate them into the half up ponytail.
For a textured and messy appearance, backcomb the half up portion, and ensure the style stays in place with a touch of hairspray. You can use the NuMe Freeze Please Strong Hold Finishing Hairspray.
This step-by-step process results in a uniquely styled hairdo perfect for any occasion.
2. Big bouncy curls
If you are looking for last-minute, easy Halloween hairstyles, this one by Chloe M Kerley is for you!
To achieve big, bouncy curls, start with freshly washed and dried hair. Apply a heat protectant to shield your locks from potential damage. Section your hair into manageable portions, securing the upper layers to focus on the lower sections initially.
Opt for a large-barrel curling wand or iron to create voluminous curls - we recommend the award-winning NuMe Megastar X Flat Iron. Take one-inch sections of hair at a time, wrapping them around the wand away from your face. Hold for about 8-10 seconds before releasing.
Continue this process throughout your hair. Once all sections are curled, allow them to cool completely. Gently run your fingers through the curls to loosen them for a softer, more natural look.
To enhance the bounce, flip your head upside down and shake the curls out slightly. Finish with a light hold hairspray to set the style and maintain the big, bouncy curls throughout the day.
3. Hallo-kween hairstyle
We are absolutely loving this Hallo-kween hairstyle by @sexyhair! This is one of the easiest DIY Halloween hairstyles, and one of the most attention-drawing ones without any doubt.
All you need to do is put your hair into two side ponytails, and make gentle waves with your NuMe Megastar Flat Iron.
For effortless waves using a flat iron, begin by sectioning your hair. Take a small portion, clamp the flat iron close to the roots, and twist it 180 degrees away from your face. Gently slide the iron down the hair shaft, maintaining the twist.
Repeat, alternating the direction of the twist for each section. This technique creates loose, beachy waves.
Once all sections are waved, run your fingers through to blend and add a texturizing spray or sea salt spray for a relaxed and tousled finish.
4. Hallo-kween hairstyle
Achieve simple Halloween waves by braiding slightly damp hair before bedtime. In the morning, undo the braids, revealing effortless waves.
Enhance the festive vibe by incorporating temporary hair color, themed accessories, or even glitter for a magical touch. This quick and easy method ensures a bewitching hairstyle without much effort.
Of course, you can also do them with a flat iron or a curling wand!
5. The Harley Quinn hairstyle
Get ready for a hassle-free Halloween 'do! No need for fancy props or accessories—this hairstyle is ideal for those last-minute Halloween prep sessions.
Just grab two chunks of your hair, give them a splash of pink and blue temporary hair dye, and twist them into adorable little space buns. Seal the deal by misting the ends of your hair, and you're all set!
How do I tease my hair for a costume?
Teasing is a big part of many easy Halloween hairstyles. Here is how you can easily tease your hair for a costume:
- Start with dry, brushed hair. Never brush or iron wet hair because it can lead to damage over the long run.
- Take small sections, hold them taut, and backcomb towards the roots using a comb or teasing brush.
- Repeat, working section by section, until desired volume is achieved.
- Smooth the surface lightly with the comb, and use hairspray to set the teased areas.
For added drama, consider incorporating accessories or styling your teased hair into the desired costume look, whether it's a glamorous updo or wild, voluminous locks.Head over to the NuMe shop for some awesome accessories.
How do I make hair stand up for Halloween?
To make your hair stand up for Halloween, you can use a combination of styling products and techniques. Start with clean, dry hair. Next, apply a volumizing mousse or spray to add texture and volume.
Continue by backcombing or teasing small sections of hair near the roots to create lift. Use a strong-hold hairspray to set the teased sections in place.
For additional height, consider using hair gel or wax to sculpt and shape specific areas. You can also use hairpins or clips strategically to help hold the hair in an upright position.
