Idea #1: long blonde hair

We had a ton of costume ideas for long blond hair, so we've narrowed them down to our two favourites:

The villainous Harley Quinn and that sweet little ol' Red Riding Hood. These iconic looks are ideal if your locks are long and blond and super-easy to create.You can let your long blond hair hang loose, free and lovely for Red's look. And for Harley Quinn, simply tie your hair in pigtails, add that famous touch of pink and blue to the other, and you're ready to take over the world.

Idea #2: black hair

Now, for a moment, close your eyes and imagine (if you dare) the villains from your childhood stories and the movies that terrify you now that you're grown.

Picture witches, vampires, and Gothic seductresses, and tell me, in your imagination, what colour is their hair? Isn't it black?

It seems we love our baddies to have raven-black, gleaming hair!

Short or long, we reckon black's top for Halloween. For short hair, we love both the Zombie Flapper and the delightfully sinister-looking Immortal Seductress Gothic Vampire costumes.

Idea #3: Medusa’s hair

Finally, if you're ready to ramp up your hair to the absolute max, you're gonna love this fascinating idea – a Halloween costume that offers a complete Medusa hair and dress make-over. 


The outfit comes with a 2-piece snake headpiece, making this a deceptively simple and scarily radical look... no matter what your hair type or colour!
