Halloween 2023 Hair Tips and Trends
Are you ready for Halloween 2023?
This Halloween, you can expect to see plenty of new stylish looks. We predict Halloween 2023 being filled with retro hairdos, collectable Barbie styles, Elvis Presley pompadours, Taylor Swift costumes, and Addams Family looks. Read below for a preview into the top Halloween hair trends, and get ideas for how to style your hair to create your ideal Halloween costume.
Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams
For this hairstyle we recommend getting clip-on bangs. Wednesday Addams’ look is a simplified take on the Dutch braid. Start by parting your hair in the center. Next, make two loose braids beginning just behind the ear. Then wrap the braid around the head and tuck one braid under the other and pin it down. Alternatively, create her classic hairdo with two braids and a center part.
Margot Robbie’s Barbie
To recreate Barbie’s hair, begin by dividing your hair into two sections. The top layer should be teased on the inside to give the hair a voluminous effect. Next, use a hair tie to keep the teased hair section in place and hide the hair tie underneath a large bow. Make sure to settle the hair in place with hairspray. This should create a high ponytail hairstyle, or Barbie’s version of the half up half down look.
Ryan Gosling’s Ken
We predict that Barbie’s Ken costume will be one of the more popular costumes of Halloween 2023. For this Ken look, purchase a bleach blonde wig and part your hair to the left side. You can create a texturized hair look using Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray which you can purchase at the Riccardo Maggiore Salon. Remember to bring some of that Kenergy with your look!
Taylor Swift Fearless and Speak Now Era Costume
Dress with your friends as Taylor Swift’s eras from her eras tour! For her Fearless or Speak Now look, we recommend parting the hair to the left. Then divide the hair into 6-10 sections. The top and bottom sections should be separated for an easy curling process. With a medium sized curling iron, begin curling the back and lower sections of hair, and then work your way forward. This leaves the top layer of hair for last, and this method allows the top curls to be freshly curled and voluminous. Add some hairspray to complete the look, and you are ready to go!
Halle Bailey’s Little Mermaid
Transform into Halle Bailey’s Little Mermaid! You can create her Little Mermaid Adventure Hairdo through wearing your natural locks down and pairing them with a pink headband. Add doe-eyed bronze makeup to create the majestical look. Optionally, add hints of Bailey’s mermaid hair color by purchasing golden-red hair extensions. Take the extensions to the hair salon, have them styled, and make sure the ends of the hair are curled. Now, your beautiful mermaid hair is ready to be worn out of the sea, and everyone will want to be a part of your world.
Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula
For this look get a white hair wig and cut the hair in layers. Flip the wig upside down and apply dry volumizing hair spray onto the wig. Next, style the wig with hair gel to create a swooping hair effect. Once the hair is styled to your liking, add strong hold hair spray. Leave the wig to dry overnight and voila!
Austin Butler’s Elvis presley
To create the Elvis Presley look make sure to style your hair when it is unwashed. Apply hair gel in your hands and douse the hair in gel. The more hair gel the better for this wet-look. Next, comb the hair into place and slick the sides tightly to the scalp. Create a pompadour hairstyle and leave one strand of hair loose in the center of the face. When the hair is combed to your desire, use plenty of hairspray and make sure to wait for the hair to dry before moving.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw
To create the Carrie curls, use volumizing hair spray and heat protector spray. Make sure to use a thin curling wand for tighter curls. For an alternative option using less heat on your hair do overnight curls and follow the tutorial below: https://youtu.be/d6hF1C-PZSw?si=loPdmVtAJQvnPWGd
This hair tutorial does a great job at recreating Carrie Bradshaw’s curls with minimal heat. After using the curling iron on the uncurled strands, spray volumizing hair spray. For additional volume, separate the top and lower parts of the hair, tease the lower parts, and comb through a few strands of hair to give the curls a more natural look. You can also add gel to wet hair and use a diffuser to dry. See the link below.

Go as Shakira in her BZRP session look! Simply straighten your golden-brown locks or purchase golden extensions for your look. Alternatively, create her typical beach wave hairstyle. To create the natural look, follow the hair tutorial below for heatless hair curls. Make sure to use lots of hairspray to keep your waves gorgeous and bouncy.

Olivia Rodrigo SOUR Album Cover and Prom Concert
For the Olivia Rodrigo SOUR album cover costume, wear your hair in loose curls. This is an easy costume and it is perfect for a last minute look. Here, wear her butterfly bangs with a center part and add hair oil for additional shine. For the SOUR prom concert costume, curl your hair with a thick curling iron and separate the curls into medium-thick sections to make this loose curl look.
To further create the messy hair look, tease a few outer strands of hair. Finish the hairstyle, with Oribe’s Thick Dry Finishing Spray and keep the hair voluminous all night!
