How To Style Your Wig In Halloween

Styling your wig for Halloween can be a fun and creative process. The style you choose will depend on your costume and personal preferences. Here's a general guide on how to style your wig for Halloween:

1. Character Inspiration:

   • Research and gather reference images of the character you're portraying. This will help you recreate their hairstyle and look as accurately as possible.

2. Heat Styling (if applicable):

   • If your wig is heat-resistant, use heat styling tools to create curls, waves, or straight styles. Always use low heat settings and a heat protectant to prevent damage. This is especially useful for achieving precise looks.

3. Wet Styling (for synthetic wigs):

   • For synthetic wigs that can't withstand heat, you can use water and setting products for styling. Dampen the wig with a spray bottle and style it while wet. Once you achieve the desired style, allow it to air dry. Wet styling is excellent for creating spiky or controlled looks.

4. Accessories and Details:

   • Enhance your wig's style with accessories. Consider using hairpins, clips, headbands, hats, scarves, tiaras, or other costume-specific items to add authenticity to your character.

5. Cut It

   • I know it’s Halloween, but don’t be afraid here. You can cut the wig to better fit your face shape and desired look. Just remember, start with small snips. Trim the ends, add layers, or create braids and updos to match your character. Customizing the wig to suit your unique interpretation of the character can result in a more impressive and realistic appearance.

6. Powder the Part

   • Use a light wig spray or hairspray to set the style in place and prevent flyaways. Be cautious not to overspray, as excessive product can make the wig heavy or stiff.

   • By applying dry shampoo or baby powder to the part and hair of a costume wig, you’ll be able to take out that super shiny look that all Halloween wigs seem to have. This will create a more natural look and keep the hair from looking too plastic-y.

     If you took it a little too far with the powdering, you can give your wig some of its shine back by using a hair oil like argan oil or Moroccan oil to put some sheen back in your wigs’ hair. Just go sparingly so your wig doesn’t end up like an oil slick.

Finally Don't Forget Color Match the Scalp

Take the concealer you would use for your own skin and dab it lightly on  the part of the costume wig.be able to apply, dab, and blend concealer into  the part to give it that desired natural look. No one will be able to tell your bright red, Little Mermaid hair isn’t really yours.
