Trick-or-Treat Ready: 12+ Halloween Hairstyles for Kids That Are Cute and Creative

10. Ghostly Braided Updo

Keep those little faces clear for candy collecting with this clever updo! You can create a few simple braids and then arrange them on top of the head to form a subtle ghost shape. Secure them well with bobby pins. Adding small white bows or ribbons can really enhance the ghostly vibe. It’s both practical and super cute.

9. Vampire Fangs Ponytail

Transform a basic ponytail into something fang-tastic! Gather hair into a high ponytail. Then, section off small pieces of the ponytail and cut them into sharp, angled points to mimic vampire fangs. You can secure these with a bit of hairspray. For an extra pop, use black hairspray on the ponytail or tie it with a red ribbon. Perfect for active vampires!

8. Skeleton Bone Braids

This is a unique look that’s sure to get noticed. Create a few classic braids, but strategically place elastics along the braid to create “bone” shapes. Space them out evenly. It works best on medium to long hair. Using white or contrasting elastics makes the bone shapes really stand out. It’s a fun way to show off a bit of spooky anatomy.

7. Mermaid Scales Fishtail

Dive into enchantment with a fishtail braid that looks like mermaid scales. A fishtail braid naturally creates a beautiful, textured pattern. To enhance the scale effect, gently pull apart the sections of the braid after you’ve finished. A little glitter hairspray adds that magical shimmer. It’s a stunning style that feels otherworldly and is great for longer hair. For more mermaid-inspired looks, explore these mermaid hair color ideas.

6. Monster Tentacle Braids

Get ready for some quirky monster fun! Make lots of small, skinny braids all over the head. Let them stick out in different directions like monster tentacles. Using colorful elastics for each braid adds to the playful look. You can even tease the ends of the braids slightly for a wilder effect. It’s a super fun and silly style.
