Halloween is a few weeks away, which means everyone finally has an excuse to munch on candy and dress up however they want. From witches to Wonder Women, the costume possibilities are virtually endless. If you’re not sure who you want to dress up as this year, then consider getting creative with one of these fun, simple Halloween hairstyles—no trip to the hair salon required. 

1. Mermaid

This curly hairstyle works perfectly for all hair types. If you already have naturally curly or wavy locks, add mousse to damp hair and blow dry with a diffuser. Carefully create soft, just-out-of-the-ocean texture with your fingers by separating tighter ringlets into larger waves. If you don’t have a natural curl, you’ll need to use a curling wand to get the look. Finally, part your hair in the center and perhaps clip in a seashell or wear an elaborate crown—now, all you need is fins instead of legs.

2. Wednesday Addams

Center part your hair and braid on either side to pose as everyone’s favorite Addams family character. Slip on a black collared dress you’ll instantly become the witty, gothic life of the party. As a bonus, you can put on a straw hat and a prairie dress to magically turn into the much peppier Anne of Green Gables.

3. Genie

Use a brush and some gel to slick your hair into a tight, high pony. Secure it with an elastic. Next, use a half-inch wide piece of hair to wrap around the ponytail, disgusting the elastic and creating a smooth, sleek finish suitable for your big Halloween party or an I Dream of Jeannie remake. Slip into a silky ensemble, and you’ll be ready to take off on your magic carpet ride.
