When you think of Morticia Addams, the image of a pallid face framed by raven black hair falling over a clinging black dress, suddenly pops into your mind. Hocus Pocus’ Winifred Anderson sports a full head of flaming red curls, while Tim Burton’ s ragdoll Sally wears waist-length cherry hair and Annabelle has a thick fringe hanging over thinly drawn brows and two golden blonde plaits with red bows.
So far so good…but, what about the not so famous spooky evil fairies, skeletons, queens, mermaids and monsters that crowd the Halloween underworld? If you are seeking some Halloween hair inspo, look no more. We got you.
Flower Power
Crowns, tiaras, headbands, tucked behind the ears, pinned to the side…literally, everything works. A word of advice: let your hair loose and stay clear of plaits, ringlets and anything that remotely resembles a chignon to avoid the blushing bride look.
When in doubt…just add Glitter
Who said that glitter is only acceptable during festival season? Channel your inner girly girl and sprinkle some sparkly awesomeness on your roots. Downside: it might take ages to was off. Upside: com’ on it’s glitter, do we really need to explain!?
Easy peasy headpeasy
Not a big fan of hair styling? Planning on giving meaning to years and years of studying Youtube tutorials and embarking on a full body makeup that won’t leave much time- or patience- for anything else? Have no fear, you can still shine bright like a diamond, with the right headpiece.
Just Wi(n)g it
Halloween is the time to carve pumpkins and go trick or treating, but it can also be an opportunity to experiment. You have been drooling over the latest pastel trends and you still hope to come across a unicorn one day -you never know!- but a) your boss would probably fire you if you went into work looking like My Little Pony b) you are afraid you would grow easily bored of a bold colour c) no way you are dying your hair again because #healthyhairjourney is life and gets you free gummy bears too, which is always a plus d) you are not too sure whether the colour would suit you or you would end up looking like a cheap Cosplay. Whichever answer applies to you, there is one and only solution: just wi(n)g it!
Matchy matchy
Not too sure about what hair colour you should go for? Don’t stress, match your makeup and forget the rest. Ps: If you manage to wear matching underwear from four to five days a week -date night obviously not included-, this will feel like an easy win. Preach.
From flowers to glitter, to head pieces or just straight Wi’n’g it, not to forget the simple yet effective choice to match, we hope you enjoyed this read!
