Curly Hairstyle for Halloween
Vampire Red
What’s more iconic for Halloween than vampires? Channel your inner bloodsucker with a rich crimson colored wig or temporary hair dye. Layer in dimensional red tones like burgundy and violet for added depth. Finish with a deep side part and glam curls. Add a chic cape, fake fangs and bold lipstick to complement your vampire vibe.
Zombie Green
Slay a zombie look with ghoulish green hair color. Dye your ends a kelly green shade while leaving roots dark for an “emerging from the grave” look. Rough up your texture with sea salt spray and tease sections for messy decayed hair. Create hollowed cheekbones with makeup and finish with tattered clothing.
Witchy Purple
No Halloween is complete without a witch costume. Get the look with inky purple-black tresses. Use a semi-permanent hair dye to color your locks a rich raven purple hue. Braid small sections for a witchy texture. Swipe on bold purple lipstick and dress in dark capes and dresses.
Neon Orange
Stand out on Halloween with electrifying orange hair! Use temporary hair color sprays in pumpkin orange, blood orange, or amber orange shades. Amp up your color with a streak of highlighter yellow. Pair your vivid locks with a futuristic costume.

Spiderweb Gray
Tap into your spooky spider sorceress potential with creepy gray webs in your hair. Use colored hair spray to create spiderwebs along your part. Accessorize further with hair clips of spiders and webs.
Finish off your gothic look with a smoky eye and black lace choker.
Skeletons Black and White
This skeleton-inspired look slays with black and white contrasting hair. Dye your roots jet black, leaving lengths stark skeleton bone white. Use temporary color like overtone masks for bold yet non-damaging hues. Create faux exposed scalp and sunken eyes with makeup for a haunted skeleton vibe.
Mermaid Blues
Not all Halloween hair has to be ghoulish! Channel whimsical mermaid vibes with oceanic blue tresses. Use clip-in hair extensions in aqua, teal, and blue-green shades. Curl into beachy waves and embellish with starfish clips. Don’t forget a vibrant blue-hued makeup look to complete your under-the-sea siren style.
Bewitching Ombre
An ombre hair dye starting dark at the roots and transitioning lighter towards the ends adds bewitching dimension. Opt for rich autumnal ombre shades like black to burgundy, chocolate to caramel, or orange to gold. Add fun hair accessories like witch hats, broomsticks, or bat clips.
Pastel Rainbow
For a more playful Halloween look, go bright and bold with rainbow pastel hair! Use washout hair chalk or temporary coloring spray in shades of pink, purple, blue and peach. Scrunch your tresses into spirals to show off the vivid colors. Pair with fairy or unicorn costumes for a cute magical style.
