Halloween is the perfect time to get creative and push style boundaries. Short hair offers an exciting canvas to try out daring, funky, and downright crazy hairstyles. From vibrant colors to bold designs, these styles will turn heads at any Halloween event. Whether you want a spooky vibe or something simply eccentric, here are 10 Halloween hairstyles for short hair that will complete your costume.
Transform into a punk rocker with a neon Mohawk that screams “rebellion.” This style is best achieved with vibrant temporary hair colors, like neon pink, blue, or green. To style, apply a strong-hold gel to the center of your hair, combing it upward and slightly to the side for a sharp, edgy look. Use spray paint in your desired color for the ultimate neon effect.
Space buns are not only cute but can be transformed into a funky Halloween look with some added glitter and color. Part your hair down the middle, create two small buns on either side, and use glitter spray for extra sparkle. Add hair extensions in bright colors like pink, purple, or silver to bring out a cosmic vibe.
This devilish style requires molding your hair into small horns at the front, mimicking devil horns for a spooky twist. Start by parting a small section of hair at the front, then twist each side tightly, forming them into two small horn shapes. Finish off with a red temporary hair spray to embody the fiery, devilish look.
This hairstyle brings a spooky, skeletal feel. Begin by creating two Dutch braids on each side of your head. Spray the braids with silver hair color to add a ghostly look. Finish by drawing small black details along each braid to resemble a skeleton bone pattern, making this style perfect for a haunted theme.
Add a creepy touch to your pixie cut by creating a cobweb effect on the side of your head. Use white hair gel or paint to draw thin spider web lines across the hair. Use small spider hair clips to complete the look, giving you an instant spooky accessory that will be perfect for Halloween.
Short hair can be spiked into a playful, colorful style using temporary spray paint in Halloween shades like purple, orange, or green. Spike your hair upward with a strong-hold gel, then add layers of colors for a vibrant, playful Halloween look that makes you stand out.
For a more subtle Halloween look, opt for vintage-style waves and add a little vampire flair. Style your short hair into soft waves using a curling iron, then apply temporary red hair paint at the tips. The red tips create the effect of "blood-dipped" ends, ideal for a vampire-inspired costume.
Transform into a magical mermaid with shimmering scales on your short bob. Using a fishnet or scale stencil, spray shimmery colors like blue, purple, and green onto sections of your hair to create a scaled effect. Finish with a light layer of glitter spray for a dazzling, underwater look.
Create a witchy look with a pixie cut and eerie green highlights. Add temporary green hair dye to random sections of your pixie cut to give it a magical, mystical vibe. Add black lipstick and dark eye makeup to complete the wicked witch look.
For an icy Halloween look, style your hair in an "Ice Queen" bob. Use a temporary white or silver spray to frost your hair and add a cool, shimmering effect. Accent the frosted look with subtle glitter at the roots to create a frosty, wintry appearance.
