Halloween is such a magical time! I love seeing kids light up with excitement for costumes and candy. As Ella Kohn from my mission is to help you feel empowered with style, and that absolutely includes our little ones. This year, let’s make getting ready for trick-or-treating a breeze. We’ve gathered a fantastic collection of easy Halloween hairstyles that are super fun and surprisingly simple for parents to recreate. Get ready to create some spooky, silly, and stunning looks that your kids will adore!
Spooky Spiderweb Buns
Spiderweb buns are a totally trending Halloween look! They’re perfect for adding a creepy-cool vibe to any costume. To create them, simply part your child’s hair down the middle and create two pigtails. Then, twist each pigtail into a bun. Use a fine-tooth comb to draw lines from the center of the bun outwards, mimicking a spiderweb. A little black hairspray can make the webs pop. These are great for kids of all ages, from toddlers to tweens!
Witchy Wands and Braids
Transform your little one into a magical witch with this playful style. Start by creating a few simple braids, maybe two pigtails or a single braid down the back. For the “wand” effect, carefully tuck a sparkly star or a small, lightweight novelty wand into the end of each braid. Secure it firmly with an elastic or a bobby pin. This look is fantastic for active kids because the braids keep hair out of their face. Make sure the wand is well-secured!
Ghostly Braided Ponytails
Want a ghostly good hairstyle? Ghostly braided ponytails are simple and spooky! Part your child’s hair and create two high ponytails. Braid each ponytail loosely. As you braid, you can slightly pull apart the sections to give it a wispy, ethereal look. White or silver elastics add a perfect touch of spectral shimmer. This style works wonders for kids with medium to long hair and is super easy to manage during all that trick-or-treating.
Mad Scientist Messy Curls
For the little mad scientist or Frankenstein’s monster, messy curls are the way to go! This style embraces a bit of wildness. If your child has naturally curly hair, great! Just give it a good tousle. For straighter hair, use a curling wand or rollers to create lots of bouncy curls. Once the curls are set, gently separate them and tease them slightly for that “experiment gone wrong” look. A good texturizing spray will add volume and hold. It’s all about embracing the beautiful chaos!
Vampire Fangs Braids
Get ready for some fang-tastic fun with Vampire Fangs Braids! This look is both spooky and stylish. Create two pigtails and braid them. Now for the fang shape: take a small section of hair from the end of each braid and twist it upwards, then secure it so it looks like a little fang sticking out. You can also add a few red hair accessories for an extra vampy touch. It’s a surprisingly simple way to add a creepy element to their Halloween hair.
