The Creepiest Hair for Halloween

This look is all in the crimping iron

Why should Halloween be all about the costume? These creepy, wacky Halloween hair styles pair perfectly with some of the scariest costumes out there. This look is easy to replicate at home: Blowdry hair straight with volumizing mousse. Follow with a crimping iron on just the middle part. Add a temporary red hair dye for added effect.
