Looking for Halloween hairstyles that are spooky, sweet, and won’t have your kid screaming before the candy? These 10 cute Halloween hair ideas for girls are scary easy and ridiculously adorable—you’ll wish you tried them sooner.
1. Pumpkin Space Buns
Two tiny orange buns sittin’ like pumpkins on top of her head? Oh, it’s a whole vibe. Add a little green ribbon stem if you’re feelin’ crafty.
2. Spider Braids
Okay, this one lowkey freaks people out—in a fun way. One braid in the middle, spider legs made from pipe cleaners, and boom… she’s got bugs in her hair, and loves it.
3. Ghost Ponytail
Quick ponytail, a lil’ white ribbon, and googly eyes you probably stole from the junk drawer. It jiggles like a happy ghost when she runs.
4. Bat Wing Pigtails
Part it down the middle and swoop the ends up like lil’ bat wings. You’ll mess up one side twice, but don’t cry about it, just try again.
5. Witchy Bun with Glitter
Top bun, black ribbon, purple glitter, and chaos. Sprinkle the glitter like a spell—she’ll probably ask for more, and get it in her socks.
6. Candy Corn Braids
White, orange, yellow—stack those colors in one chunky braid like a candy corn ladder. No one will know it took you 30 minutes and a deep breath.
7. Cat Ear Buns
Twist two lil’ pointy buns up top like kitty ears. She’ll meow at strangers all day, and you’ll secretly love it.
8. Skeleton Clip Mohawk
Mini clips shaped like bones down the center? It’s giving spooky punk princess. Might not survive a nap though.
9. Webbed Hair Net Style
Use black yarn to fake a spiderweb across a bun. Looks super complicated but trust me, it’s mostly vibes and bobby pins.
10. Mini Monster Horns
Gel it up into two tiny twisted horns. She’ll look like a giggling gremlin, and maybe act like one too. Totally worth it.
