Have you chosen a spectacularly spooky Halloween costume yet? The right Halloween hairstyle can go a long way toward making your costume pop–some characters just wouldn’t look right without their signature ‘dos. 

Here, I’m going to teach you three creative Halloween hairstyles that are perfect for your Halloween costume. Do you want to look creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky? The gothic crown braid style is perfect for your Wednesday costume– disembodied hand not included! If you’re planning on reuniting with the 90s, a retro half-up, half-down hairstyle is the perfect accompaniment for your Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion costume. And if you’re channeling The Princess Diaries, this Mia Thermopolis-inspired updo is worthy of teenage royalty. (Plus, it’s so easy, you’ll have time to master the perfect princess wave!)

Here’s how to do all three of these Halloween hairstyles–they’re so easy, it’s scary!
