Oh i love them! I usually go all out for Halloween but this time am missing out on all the fun as I’m the countryside and far too far away from my Halloween party loving friends.
But that said, I think I should do a Halloween hairstyle anyway. Give the cat a bit of a fright 😉

Love your pics so much. Now I wish I wasn’t wearing a witches hat!
Adeline says
I love this mohawk look! I’ve been obsessed with mohawks lately and will have to give this one a try.
Also, that Donald Trump one is hilarious!
Sonia from Sonia Styling says
Oh my goodness, these are AMAZING! I’ll be getting dressed up for a very different reason on Halloween – for Derby Day! Hair and makeup appointments are locked in and I can’t wait to rock a beautiful dress and stunning millinery. Oh yeah, and I suppose watch a horse race or two! 😉

I am so pleased you have the retro hairstyles here, because I need some hair inspiration for my Rosie the riveter costume. 😉
