In some cases, 2020 seems to be a continuous unsuccessful Halloween party. But what Halloween party? We can't even have any party at all, let alone a Halloween themed one. Even though this year’s Halloween party will be more like a virtual one, a phone call with your close friends or just a photo shoot, we still can improvise and dress up for Halloween.

While creating a Halloween look, the most important parts of it are the makeup and the hairstyle. In this article, we’re going to talk about Halloween hairstyle ideas that you can go for this fall. By the way, besides the Halloween hairstyles (that sadly you can go for just once a year), here I have for you some more suggestions about the most popular hairstyles for women in 2020.

As there are thousands of looks you can adopt, it isn't easy to decide what you want to look like when Halloween arrives. From movie actors to your favorite cartoon characters, it's up to you how scary or funny you want to be while singing "trick or treat".These are the best 8 Halloween hairstyles trending this year, that will give you some inspiration for the event. Be ready to get the best Halloween look you've ever worn! :)

All you’re going to need for this Halloween hairstyle is a spider pin, some bobby pins, a scrunchie and optionally, a hair donut. Here are the steps: make a ponytail, put your hair in a hair donut or simply spin your hair around the tail. Fix it with some bobby pins, and then attach the spider pin. There are many spider hair accessories you can go for and they don’t cost a penny. You can find some ideas here.

Isn’t it one of the easiest hairstyles for Halloween? I leave you here a “how to” video that I found on youtube, so you’ll understand even better what you have to do:

All women have dreamed at least once in their childhood to become a mermaid, right? This year on October 31st, it’s the right time to become one. Why not enjoy the video call with your friends on Halloween with a colorful mermaid look?

Here’s a little guide: apply a temporary hair color spray in the color you like the most and let it dry. After that, give your hair a beachy vibe with some salt spray or frizz-fighting oil. Then divide your hair and make as many braids as you can on both the sides. After the braids reach below your shoulders, start making the final fishtail. And here you have it, an awesome, messy mermaid looks ready to make you feel like the most beautiful creature of the ocean’s fiction. :)

Do you want to bring a mysterious effect to your Elsa Halloween costume? I've got it handled. Here’s one of the easiest looks you can go for, using a tiny fairy light. All you have to do is to create a mermaid braid and insert a tiny fairy light string through it. The only tough part of this Halloween hairstyle is to hide the battery under the braided hair, but you can handle it! :)

  1. Pumpkin Halloween Hairstyle

Pumpkin Spice Latte is one of the best fall hair colors in 2020, and some women already dyed their hair to be on trend. Even if you’re not 100% into totally changing your look this autumn, you can still reach a pumpkin Halloween hairstyle.

To achieve this look, you have to pull your hair up into a ballerina bun with a large hair donut. Then, use a temporary orange-colored hairspray, and add a leaf at the base of the bun to create the real pumpkin effect. Isn’t it funny to look like a pumpkin on Halloween?

  1. Hair Bow Halloween Hairstyle

We’re already used to accessorizing our hair with a ribbon from time to time, but what do you say about creating a bow made of your own hair for Halloween? This hair bow look can suit a large variety of Halloween costumes. You have to start by teasing a ponytail and add some fixing hairspray. Then, divide the ponytail in half and secure it at the top of the head with some bobby pins.

Spray and pin the bun in a bow shape. As a final touch, take a small piece of hair from one side of the bun and place it in the middle of your hair bun to give a knot effect. Check out this tutorial if you want to know more about how to achieve your desired result.

I think that the Addams family characters are among the most adored looks to get for Halloween. They are both creepy and funny, and the whole world knows them. Wednesday’s braids are already a very famous look yet easy to do, so get ready to have a childish, scary look with just two braids and a whitened skin.

  1. Tinkerbell Halloween Hairstyle

You don’t need to dye your hair to achieve this look, and you don’t necessarily need to have bangs for it. Your way to a Tinkerbell look is simple, you just need to follow some steps: pull your hair up into a hair donut and leave one section of the ends to lean over your forehead. After that, just if you want to, add a blonde temporary hairspray. Finish the look by adding a green ribbon and here you are, Tinkerbell. :) For more details, check out the video below:

Why buy Mickey Mouse ears when you can create them with your own hair? If you want a cute and childish look, Mickey Mouse is a guaranteed success at your virtual or real Halloween party. How to do it? Very easy: make two space ponytails. As an optional step, you can add some colored hair extensions and fix them at the base of the ponytails. Wrap around the hair to achieve the two space buns. Use some bobby pins to fix them, then brush out your baby hair and apply a little bit of hair gel to fix it too. Have a great party, Minnie! :)
