Halloween Hairstyle | Jennishairdays

(Suomeksi alla)

Some last-minute ideas for tomorrow for those of you who are still trying to think of a Halloween costume. If you have no time to go and shop for a costume, or make one, you can always divert everyone’s attention to your hair.

We tried this spider web braid last weekend, and I think I will be making it again tonight, ready for tomorrow. A great hairstyle to do in advance, as it holds very well.

It’s 5 corn rows with strands of hair pulled through to make a web. I left a bit of hair out at the front side, and used a topsy tail to thread hair through. Then just finished with a plastic spider.

A bit easier style is a bubble braid with plastic spiders or other Creepy Crawlers attached. In fact, any braid with plastic spiders, sculls or bats will get attention. You can attach them with little elastics or you can use Halloween rings, that you can find in lots of shops this time of year.

Even easier option is witch hair: just a load of teasing, the messier the better. For witch hair, cat ears, a braided spider and a messy bun for a crow, see my last year’s Halloween post.

One of my daughters has asked me to do bat hair like this one on Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu… I think I’ll try to think of an easier option.

Halloween hiukset

Jos olet huomenna menossa Halloween juhliin, mutta asu ei ole vielä ihan kunnossa, tässä vähän ideoita. Jos aika ei riitä shoppailuun eikä ompeluun, niin aina voi keskittyä näyttäviin hiuksiin.

Hämähäkin verkko on hyvä, jos haluaa tehdä kampauksen etukäteen: se pysyy päässä yönkin yli. Taidan näpertää tälläisen tänäkin iltana valmiiksi huomista varten.

Tein viisi pikkulettiä ja vedin hiussuortuvia hiuslassolla lettien läpi verkoksi. Lopuksi lisäsin muovisen hämähäkin.

Vähän helpompi Halloween letti on ”kuplaletti”, tai oikeastaan mikä tahansa letti, johon laitetaan hämähäkkejä tai muita ötököitä kiinni esimerkiksi pikku kumilenkeillä. Kaupoista löytyy myös muovisia sormuksia, joita voi käyttää lettejen koristeluun.

Kaikista helpoin vaihtoehto on noidan tukka: kunnon tuuperaus ja sotku, mitä takkuisempi, sen parempi. Viime vuoden Halloween-postauksestani löydät noidan tukan, kissan korvat, hämähäkin ja korppinutturan.

Yksi tytöistäni on toivonut tällaista lepakkotukkaa huomiseksi, mutta taidan keksiä jotain helpompaa!

If you’re looking for some scary ideas for Halloween, here’s a great Halloween hairstyle I made today, plus a few from last year…

The spider braid is easy but a bit time-consuming. First, you need to make a half ponytail. Next, with the hair in the half ponytail, make 8 small braids where one of the strands is partly hair, partly pipe cleaner. Then just twist the 8 braids into a ball, leaving enough braid at the end to make the legs. Use some elastics or boppy pins to keep the spider’s body in pace.

After I made this for my middle daughter, my eldest one demanded a bat braid… If you have any ideas of how to make a bat out of hair, please let me know! Might have to wait until next year…

Last year my middle daughter was a witch for Halloween… Witch hair is always easy: just tease the hair into a big mess, and that’s it!

My oldest daughter dressed up as a crow. Apart form her blondest of blonds hair, crow hair was also quite easy: I made a messy bun and stuck some black feathers in it:

And last, but not least, last year’s picture of a little black cat. She was under two years old, and had very little hair to work with, but I managed to braid some pipe cleaner into her hair and twist the braids into cat ears:
