Everyone
wants to stand out when it comes to Halloween hair and outfit choices -
in a sea of vampires, ghouls and witches this is a little tricky. We
love how the costumes have become less scary and more inventive over
recent years so we have decided to look at a few of our favourite fun
and ‘good’ rather than evil Halloween outfits and the best Halloween
hairstyles to accompany the look.
Harry Potter
Whether
you choose to dress up as Hermoine Granger or Luna Lovegood for your
Harry Potter themed Halloween outfit your hair must be long and wavy.
For Luna Lovegood’s hair you will need to choose a very light blonde
shade such as Bunny Blonde or Paparazzi Highlights and Hermoine
Granger’s hair is perfect for Butterscotch Highlights!
Hermoine’s
hair is a little shorter than Luna’s and her waves appear more natural
and unstyled, a great way of achieving this look is to plait/braid a few
of your wefts together and simply take these out a few days later!
Hermoine’s hair is a little unruly so backcombing the roots of your own
hair before fitting your extensions will give the same look :) Luna’s
long locks are generally more defined than Hermoine’s. To re-create
Luna’s hair you can use a curling wand. This will give the definition to
the curl and allow you to start a little closer to the root than a
tong.
Ragdoll
Dolls
have often carried evil connotations and the ragdoll is no exception;
known for being made out of all the odd left over bits, there has always
been something a little eerie about the ragdoll so this outfit is
perfect for Halloween as it’s so easy to re-create both the outfit and
Halloween hair.
The majority of the ragdolls wear their hair in high up
pigtails with tons of volume. Whether you choose a braid/plait or just
normal pigtails, the more hair the better! Adding a few quad wefts to
your hair is perfect for adding more volume to this Halloween hair
style. It is also a great way of adding a few highlights in a crazy
shade! Bunny Blonde is perfect for dying bright shades or if you wanted
to stick to the more traditional ragdoll red then Burlesque Red is a
gorgeous shade.
Enchanting Fairy
The
enchanting fairy is the perfect Halloween outfit for those who still
like to look girly! To change this look from the evil version you can
keep your make up and outfit to soft colours and glitter and even wear
some flowers or glitter in your hair! The best Halloween hair to accompany this outfit is the waterfall braid/plait. This is super cute and
girly and can be worn with curly, wavy or straight hair. Fit your
extensions first and then follow our guide to creating this look.
The addition of glittery accessories or flowers can really make your
Halloween hair part of your outfit!!
Old Hollywood Hair
There
are 2 main Halloween hairstyles for this look. The first is the
beehive! Think Tippi Hedron in The Birds and Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast
at Tiffany’s. A high chignon or french pleat is the best way to style
your hair for this Halloween style.
You want to add volume at the crown
by backcombing at the roots. Fit your extensions a little lower down so
that your pleat or chignon hides them. The other way of recreating Old Hollywood hair is to try the soft waved bob. A 12-14” set is
perfect for this look. Use large barrelled tongs and pin the curls
whilst they cool down. Once you have curled all your hair and they have
all cooled, unpin the curls and using a soft brush gently brush through
the curls, this should leave you with large soft waves. You can use a
little serum to smooth these. Use a pin to pull back some hair over your
ear and add a jewelled pin for classic Hollywood glamour.
