Halloween Hairstyles

If you’re still unsure what to wear tomorrow, at least get your hair in check with some simple hair tutorials by BOSS hairstylist Ramona Villanueava. BOSS HAIR GROUP is Chicago’s top eco-friendly, sustainable and cruelty-free salon space.

Falloween

Specializing in all creative things hair, the Falloween looks are a collection of fun, autumnal style braids. The Halloween hairstyles incorporate muslin, black velvet ribbons and faux Fall flowers for some head-turning looks.

The Mummy Tail

Muslin wrap strips and floral wire create an interesting ponytail that bends and twists into any shape. Explains Ramona, “The muslin strips are an inspiration for me to create a fun mummy/fringe look off the ponytail.”

How-to

First, braid hair tightly at the base of the head with floral wire. For best results, “use a regular tight three strand braid,” Says Ramona.

This style takes a plain Jane braid that wouldn’t normally be worn as is. As a result, the wire dresses it up to for fall festivities.

Next, the muslin strips are folded in half and looped throughout the braid so the ends are left hanging.

“The Nightmare Before” Braid

This look features tulle wrapped around Dutch braids. As a result, it creates contrast and a texture difference. The style starts with two tight Dutch braids down the head. In addition, separate with a middle part from the front all the way to the nape.

How to Make a Dutch Braid

A Dutch braid is like a French braid but it sits atop the hair. So, in interweaving the three strands, add hair under the braid to make the braid pop. Wind the tulle down the braid. As a result, it looks like a cool tulle structure that sits on top of the hair.

A weaving tool is most helpful to get the tulle neatly wound into the braid. Additionally, a plastic tool, like a sewing needle, makes this interesting braid much easier to achieve. Finally, leave the ends out and secure them with a black rubber band.

The Faux Flower-Fall

Weave the dark faux flowers into two loose pigtails to create a soft undone look. Next, secure the pigtails at the end with a black ribbon to pull the look together. For braid beginners, use a three-strand technique. Finally, You can add more dimension and texture with different braiding styles depending on your preferences and skill level.

Hair Accessory Tip

Dark flowers and ribbons are great Fall time accessories to mark the festive October and Halloween occasions. In addition, this look is perfect for an autumn bride or even a wedding party.

The Black Infinity

This half up/half down look was inspired by the beautiful infinity braids visible this Summer. However, this Halloween hairstyle has a Fall flair by adding the velvet ribbon as an accessory.

The infinity symbol, seen in math, looks like a figure eight. As a result, so does this braid when wound. Starting with two strands of hair, a third strand is wound around the two to create a figure eight. Working down the hair, the piece that is the “figure eight” shouldb be kept taught for the full effect of the structure to take place.

According to Ramona, “An infinity braid can use all of the hair down the back of the head, in small sections for detail like this look. Or, even just at the base of the head for a different take on a braid that’s over the shoulder. Heavier fabrics, like velvet, are great to use during the Fall/Winter months to mimic the colder weather that comes upon us.”
