It's that time of year again when the air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and the spirit of Halloween is in full swing. As a natural hair enthusiast, you're probably already brainstorming the perfect costume and hairstyle to complement it. Well, look no further! LushUs Hair has got you covered with five spooktacular hairstyles that will have you looking boo-tiful this Halloween.
Bewitching Braids
Who says witches can't have fabulous hair? Channel your inner sorceress with a mesmerizing braided updo. Start by sectioning your hair into two or three parts, depending on the thickness and length. Braid each section, then gather the braids at the crown of your head and secure with bobby pins or a hair tie. For an extra touch of magic, weave in some colorful hair extensions or accessories like beads or ribbons.
Tips for Bewitching Braids:
- Use a leave-in conditioner like our Sea Moss & Papaya Hair Yogurt or hair serum like our Jamaican Black Mint & Rosemary Hair Elixir to keep your braids smooth and shiny.
- Experiment with different braid patterns, like fishtail or French braids, for a unique look.
- Finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep your style in place all night.
Haunting Headwraps
Headwraps are a natural hair staple, and they can also be the perfect Halloween accessory. Opt for a bold, patterned headwrap in shades of black, orange, or purple to channel your inner voodoo priestess. Wrap it around your head, leaving some of your natural curls or coils peeking out for a touch of mystique.
Tips for Haunting Headwraps:
- Experiment with different wrapping techniques, like the turban or halo style, to find what works best for your face shape.
- Accessorize with earrings, pins, or even a small hat or fascinator for added flair.
- Use a headwrap made from a breathable, stretchy fabric to ensure all-night comfort.
Ghoulish Goddess Locs
If you're rocking goddess locs, you're already halfway to a spooktacular Halloween look. Embrace your inner goddess with a sleek, high ponytail or bun, leaving a few face-framing locs to add an ethereal, otherworldly vibe.
Tips for Ghoulish Goddess Locs:
- Use a moisturizing gel or pomade to smooth down any flyaways and keep your locs in place.
- Experiment with accessories like beads, shells, or even small pumpkins woven into your locs.
- Finish with a light mist of hairspray to keep your style locked in all night.
Monstrous Mohawks
For a truly show-stopping Halloween look, consider a mohawk-inspired style. Start by creating a deep side part, then use a styling gel or mousse to spike up the hair on the top of your head, leaving the sides sleek and smooth. You can even add temporary color or hair chalk for an extra touch of spookiness.
Tips for Monstrous Mohawks:
- Use a strong-hold gel or mousse to keep your mohawk standing tall all night.
- Experiment with different textures, like slicked-back sides and a fluffy, textured mohawk.
- Finish with a light mist of hairspray to keep your style in place.
Bedeviled Bantu Knots
Bantu knots are a versatile natural hairstyle that can be easily transformed for Halloween. Create a series of small, defined knots all over your head, then let a few strands hang loose for a devilishly chic look. You can even add temporary color or accessories like small bats or spiders for an extra spooky touch.
Tips for Bedeviled Bantu Knots:
- Use our Sea Moss & Marula Oil Twisting Cream or Guava & Blue Agave Curl Gelle to help define and hold your Bantu knots.
- Experiment with the size and placement of your knots for a unique, customized style.
- Finish with a light mist of hairspray to keep your knots in place.
