Skeleton Bone Braids
This is such a cool and unique idea for Halloween! Skeleton Bone Braids create a visual effect that looks like bones. You’ll want to section the hair carefully. Start by creating a Dutch braid or a French braid. As you braid, strategically leave small gaps or loops within the braid itself. These gaps will form the “bone” shape. It takes a little precision, but the result is incredibly striking. Consider using white or bone-colored hair accessories to complete the look.
