Costume? Check. Candy bucket? Check. Now for a little Halloween hair magic!
A simple ponytail, bun, or a few colorful accessories can turn an everyday hairstyle into something delightfully spooky. You don’t need professional styling skills—or an entire afternoon—to create a look your child will love.
Browse our photo gallery below and let your child pick a favorite. Set out your supplies before you begin, start with detangled hair, and keep the style comfortable enough for all the Halloween fun ahead.
Your Halloween hair kit: A brush or comb, gentle hair elastics, clips, and your choice of Halloween ribbons or ready-made hair accessories.
A quick timing tip: Allow about five minutes for a simple style on already-detangled hair. More detailed looks and handmade accessories will take extra preparation.

The best finishing touch? Letting your child make it their own. A slightly crooked bow or a wonderfully messy bun can be part of the Halloween charm!
