One of the most essential aspects of your Halloween costume is your hair. It’s so important to plan your Halloween hair color and style before ordering your costume to guarantee success when it’s time to dress up.
Whether you start with a costume in mind or with a hairstyle, you need to make sure they’re a match made in heaven. So, with this in mind, we introduce you to some stunningly spooky Halloween hair ideas that you can rock this year if you’re celebrating on October 31st.
1: Space buns
One for Star Wars fans, space buns are a brilliantly simple Halloween hair idea that you can do yourself at home or with the help of your stylist.
As for costumes, space buns look awesome when you dress up as a cat, rabbit, or any other cute animal, for that matter.
As mentioned, they’re also a brilliant look for fans of the Star Wars movies—why not dress up as the iconic Princess Leia this Halloween to really show your Hollywood class?
2: Vampire-inspired jet black hair
If you’re a fan of the Twilight movies, Vampire-inspired jet-black hair is a winner. This is one of the easiest Halloween hairstyles to go for, requiring minimal effort, simple styling, and zero maintenance.
Straighten your shoulder-length hair and opt for a central side parting at the front before sweeping it naturally to one side.
Finish your look with some ruby red lipstick and spend some time on your eyelashes to draw attention to the best features of your face.
3: The pink pixie
Are you looking for a cute Halloween hair idea that will turn heads at any party you attend? The pink pixie might just be the look for you.
There are many ways to cut and style pixie hair, but we recommend a cropped, bright pink look for Halloween. You can even sweep your hair to one side, as in the example above, if you don’t want your fringe to cover your forehead.
For something a bit left field, you could always go for spiked up pink pixie hair, but it’s not a look for everyone. If you’re dressing as a punk rocker for Halloween, it might be a decent choice.

4: The were-wolf cut
Werewolves are one of Halloween’s scariest characters, so freak out your friends with wolf cut hair this October.
The wolf cut is a combination of the mullet and the shag, and it’s a trendy and much-loved style among many women this year.
The beauty of the wolf cut lies in its length and depth, helping to hide thinning hair and help your hair look voluminous. It’s best for women with darker hair tones, as in the example above.
5: Cyan mermaid hair
Did you love the remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid? If so, this cyan mermaid hairstyle could be the dream choice at Halloween this year.
With so many people using Halloween as an opportunity to dress up as their favorite characters, we love the contrasting tones in the hairstyle above.
This look is so attractive that you don’t even need to dress up as a mermaid to dye your hair this Halloween. It can also be a stunning cut for numerous other costumes, so feel free to get creative!
6: Beetlejuice!
Given that 2024 is the year of the Beetlejuice remake, we couldn’t write this article without paying tribute to this awesome movie.
It’s also our favorite Halloween crazy hair idea, and it’s a solid option for both men and women, as shown in the image above.
If you’re planning to go green for Halloween to resemble Beetlejuice, make sure you use a temporary hair dye. After all, you probably don’t want to turn up to the office on the Monday after Halloween with a crazy green hairdo!
7: Harley-Quinn-inspired pigtails
One of the world’s hottest baddies is Suicide Squad’s Harley Quinn. She’s an amazing choice for any Halloween lover out there looking for a simple yet suggestive costume to wear to a party this Fall.
One of our favorite things about Quinn’s look is the contrasting red and blue pigtails; the signature of this look.
If you get the ripped clothing right and carry a baseball bat, you’re all set. Oh, and don’t forget Harley’s bold red lipstick to finish the look!
