Spooky season is here, meaning it’s time to start planning your costume — and, of course, your matching Halloween hair. Not sure where to start? No need to worry. We tapped a handful of hairstyling experts for tips on how to DIY the most popular Halloween hairstyles, plus how to decide on a coordinating costume.
As a starting point, “pick someone who already has similar hair to yours, then do some styling tricks—like wear a clip-in bang,” celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins suggests. It’s the perfect year to try it: Glam goth is on trend so perhaps your Halloween style icon is Wednesday Addams with that hair. Or perhaps you fancy rekindling your love for the Cowboy Carter tour with a nod to the Texan blowout? The ’90s and Britpop beauty are calling, too, after Oasis fever struck so a tribute to Nicole Appleton’s chunky highlights could be equally as popular.
Feeling inspired? Keep scrolling for expert-backed advice on how to DIY this year’s most popular Halloween hairstyles, and get ready to screenshot.
