hair costume ideas will help transform your character costume into an iconic pop culture moment or iconic character from our vast library.
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s can easily be recreated with a high bun and a small tiara.
Betty Boop
Betty Boop can be identifiable through a high, tightly curled raven braid and tight bun combination.
Princess Leia’s Side Buns
Princess Leia’s signature hairdo from Star Wars continues to enthrall and intrigue audiences today. Her iconic look features two long braids coiled around her head and intertwined to form a crown-like design. It can be worn tight with minimal volume or loosely with increased volume.
Bubble Braids
A bubble braid is an easy and beautiful way to spice up a plain ponytail or low bun. Teasing your hair before applying elastic bands and using different elastic counts and accessories can create a high-volume style. This look is perfect for those wanting to channel their inner unicorn or fairy godmother.
Betty Boop’s Raven Hair
To complete a Betty Boop costume, assemble the outfit according to the pattern or purchase one ready-made. Finish the look with red high heels, a red garter, and Betty’s signature eyebrows. Use black eyeliner to create thick cat eye effects for added impact.
Ariel’s Mermaid Braid
To achieve a mermaid-inspired look like Ariel from The Little Mermaid, seek professional help for dyeing your hair in vibrant blues, purples, and sea greens. Pair the look with appropriate attire and accessories for the perfect under-the-sea ensemble.
Space Buns
Space buns have long been a festival hair trend. To create the look, start with a clean middle part and secure each side into two sleek pigtails. Braid each ponytail around each other into a bun shape for an elegant effect. Add ribbons or dainty headbands for an extra detailed style inspired by Janelle Monae.
