WICKED EASY HALLOWEEN HAIR IDEAS: CONJURE UP A SUPER CUTE UPDO IN NO TIME
Most people think Halloween is all about the costumes. Us? We say it’s all about the hair. Which is a pretty convenient philosophy to have when you wait till the last minute to put a costume together (don't worry, we're guilty as well).
But just because life is hectic or Halloween slipped your mind, that doesn’t mean you should throw on last year’s get-up and call it a day - not without finding a fresh Halloween hairstyle to rock alongside it!
In fact, we’ve got you covered with three totally killer, low-maintenance Halloween updos that will solve your no-costume prob in minutes.
A spritz of Style on Steroids, a dab of Root Cover Up, some glitzy hair accessories, a little sparkle...and voilà! There you are!
A fierce and fab Scary Spice (you know you’ve got some animal print-gear in your closet). Or, if you prefer, a kickass Wonder Woman (leggings, V-neck and arm bands pull the look together) - or even a Wednesday Addams braid to give your get-up that gothy feel.
The best part? It’ll look like you had it planned all along. Trust us.
1. SCARY SPICE HAIR: HERE'S HOW TO GET THE LOOK
- Make two small pigtails on both sides of a center part
- Wrap each pigtail into a bun and secure with pins
- Wrap a thin, gold wire around each bun
- Spray Style on Steroids and tease hair for extra volume
- Fill in part and hairline using Root Cover Up to make hair look thicker
2. WEDNESDAY ADDAMS HAIR: HERE'S HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Want to recreate Wednesday’s dance scene braid hairstyle?! Check out Amber’s Halloween updo tutorial using Style on Steroids, our color-safe texturizing spray that helps give hair long-lasting memory without drying it out.
- Start with your hair in two low ponytails and section out your bangs
- Apply Style On Steroids to give your hair texture
- Braid both sides of your hair
- Pull each braid through so that they're flat to your head and tighten
- Pin in a criss-cross fashion so that the braids stay put
- Position, curl your bangs and spritz Style On Steroids again
3. WONDER WOMAN HAIR: HERE'S HOW TO GET THE LOOK
- Saturate wet hair with Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, then blow-dry using a brush and tension. Go over with a flat iron. Pull your hair up into a high ponytail, spray Cult Favorite on a brush to catch flyaways and create a smooth finish, secure with an elastic
- Fill in part and hairline using Root Cover Up
- Spread a glitter gel around the ponytail elastic (we love The Product Junkie Extraaaa Glitter!)
- Continue to spread the glitter up through the ponytail and down onto the head in small streaks
- Finish with Cult Favorite to tame fly-aways and lock in the style
