From spooky spiderwebs to whimsical unicorn horns, these styles are sure to be a hit. Get ready to have a blast creating these looks together. It’s all about making memories!
14. Spiderweb Braids
Spiderweb braids are such a cool visual. They look intricate but are surprisingly simple to achieve. You can adapt them for various hair lengths, making them super versatile. These are perfect for a spooky vibe that isn’t too scary for little ones. To get those clean web lines, try using a fine-tooth comb to section the hair before braiding. This helps create crisp, defined patterns that really stand out. It’s a fantastic way to add a touch of creepy-crawly to any costume.
13. Medusa’s Serpent Curls
For a truly mythical look, Medusa’s Serpent Curls are amazing. You want to achieve voluminous curls that really mimic snakes. A good quality hairspray is your best friend here for hold. This style works wonderfully for longer hair, letting those curls cascade. For an extra touch, try adding small hair accessories that resemble snakeskin. It really elevates the whole Medusa effect and gives it that extra oomph. Your child will look like they stepped right out of a legend!
12. Mermaid Waves
Enchanting and effortless, mermaid waves are a dream for any little sea creature. Think loose, flowing waves that have that perfect beachy effect. Using a curling wand is my go-to for this look. It’s suitable for most hair types and lengths, which is always a plus. To keep those waves looking great all day, I recommend a texturizing spray. It adds a little grit and hold without making the hair stiff. Your little one will shimmer like a mermaid. For more inspiration on achieving this look, check out these mermaid hair color ideas.

A unicorn horn braid is pure magic! You create a sleek, upward-pointing braid that looks just like a unicorn’s horn. It’s such a fun and whimsical choice for fantasy costumes. For that extra sparkle, a glitter hairspray is a must. It adds that enchanting shimmer every unicorn needs. Make sure to secure the base of the braid tightly. This ensures your unicorn horn stays perfectly upright throughout all the Halloween festivities. It’s a truly spellbinding look.

10. Skeleton Buns
Skeleton buns are a playful and recognizable Halloween theme. You create two high buns. Then, use bobby pins or hairspray to form little bone shapes. It’s a really fun idea for active kids who might be running around a lot. The buns stay put. For an extra spooky touch, try using black hair chalk. It really enhances the skeleton look. Your little skeleton will be ready to boogie all night long. It’s a cute, spooky combo.
9. Ghostly Braided Updo
This ghostly braided updo is charming. You create a braided updo and shape it to look like a sweet ghost. White ribbons or hair accessories really help achieve that spectral effect. It’s a wonderfully sweet style for a gentle Halloween look. To keep stray hairs perfectly in place for a polished finish, a good hairspray is key. This style is so cute and really captures that friendly ghost vibe. It’s a winner for sure.
