5. Curls – Big, bold, beautiful curls are the perfect addition to an old Hollywood glam costume or a little red riding hood costume. Give those curls a quick spritz of hairspray and you’ll be good to go for the entire school dance or party!

Great styles. I wish i could french braid my own hair but usually it goes into a ponytail.
What a great collection of hairstyles! Some of these would be great for before and after Halloween too! I love all the braided styles.
These are cute styles. I could see my daughter loving these, which means she’d try them on my hair or my youngest daughter’s hair. 🙂
Those pigtails in the second picture were gorgeous! If only my hair were longer. 🙁
I wish I could do the dutch braids but I usually do the pig tail braid(s) or just the pony. My hair does the curls on it’s own usually…
I like the tight bun, but maybe I’m boring! They all look perfect for different costume ideas.
They’re all great styles. Even if it isn’t Halloween. I’ve been loving braids this year.
Love love love the braids! I especially love Dutch braids, because they seem to be more substantial than the regular! I try to do my own braids, but usually have my hair stylist do them for fun every once and a while! So pretty!
Love this post! I’m going to have to practice some of those braids just for every day! So pretty even without a costume!
love these, most of these would go perfect with my halloween outfit as well! just in time!
I love all the braids. Wish I had the patience to learn how to do these, but sadly, I think I’ll stick to the big curls or half-up/half down.
These are all very lovely hairstyles. I like the braids the most and the curls. They are versatile indeed, especially if you’re dressing up for Halloween.
I love the dutch braids! How cool are those, and also the braided crown. I did something similar for my wedding 🙂
I loose long curls and just sleek straight hair!! I love braids, but I never do my hair with them!
*I like loose long curls…
I absolutely adore the pig tail braids! I don’t know why but definitely trying this out this week. And yes loose curls look beautiful, too!
