Hairoween - 3 Easy Low Maintenance Halloween Hairstyles for 'Basic Witches'

Inspire even the most Halloween-phobic clients with these no-fuss, easy Halloween hairstyles that will have them looking more 'reem' than scream.

Sleek Scarface Blow-dry 

If blood, guts and gore ain't your client's thing, why not suggest Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic Elvira Hancock hairstyle from the film Scarface? It's a classic look that's rooted in Hollywood history and yet still looks cool.

Vicente Eixarch, Stylist, Gina Conway comments: "To achieve Michelle Pfeiffer's iconic Elvira Hancock hairstyle, first blow-dry with a round brush. Spray Aveda Volumising Tonic on the roots for a slight lift and to create some texture. For the mid-length and ends use Aveda Pure Abundance Style prep, this will leave hair smooth and hold the curl at the end of the hair in place."

Margot Tenenbaum – Hair Accessory Queen

With hair accessories still firmly in the spotlight, who better to use as Halloween hair inspiration than angsty Margot Tenenbaum in Wes Anderson's 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums? 

Gina advises: "To create this style blow-dry hair straight using a paddle brush. To create the sleek finish, use a straightening iron. Finally, apply a tiny amount of smoothing fluid to smooth any flyaway hairs." 

To finish the style off, attach two chunky barrettes either side of the parting.
