Head Games: Halloween Costume Wigs

Black Widow Red & Black Wig

Black Widow Red & Black Wig

Add dramatic flavor to this year’s look with Halloween costume wigs. Whether you are sporting a funky afro to complete your Hendrix disguise or a long blonde wig and a schoolgirl uniform for an “early” Britney Spears costume, wigs can help define your completed look. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. Last year’s long fake hair can become this year’s braided or trimmed style. If you’re going to dress up this year, go all the way by selecting the perfect style from the many Halloween costume wigs that are available.

Decide what look you are searching for. Since so many wigs can be used with a variety of costumes, this can make the decision easier. Even if you pick something a little plain, you may get more mileage out of it by using it again the following year.

Halloween costume wigs can make your look stand out, but they can also drive you insane! If possible, try on your wig before purchasing. Some are  larger than others and may slide into your face. Expect this to happen once in a while, however if it simply will not stay on, it may not be worth wearing. You will end up ditching it anyway before the night is over, or risk finding it floating in the punch bowl.

Even the most basic wig can be dressed up. Add life and uniqueness to your fake hair. A blonde or brunette wig can be braided or pulled into pigtails. Add a hair pick to your afro. Some temporary spray-on hair color can be used on wigs as well.

Remember, even though you are sporting a fake hairdo that does not mean you can neglect your real one. Always be prepared to lose the wig, should it grow cumbersome. Keep a real hairbrush in your pocket or purse so that you can remedy the situation. Inevitably, your real hair will probably not look the greatest after supporting a hair hat all night.

If you plan to do a lot of moving around during your Halloween festivities, consider whether a wig will be worth your trouble. Dancing the night away could mean a lot of sliding and slipping on your head. There are also a variety of “hair glues” available in the form of Hair bonding adhesive, if you’re willing to spend the extra money and add in more prep time.

Maybe the wig thing does not appeal to you, maybe it is simply too much headache for a night of crazy hair? There are other options! Consider doing something unusual with your own hair, something that is not permanent of course. Those same temporary spray-on hair colors can be used on real hair as well. So turn your blonde into a bright red or evil black in minutes. Just keep in mind that these can get messy, and wear off quickly if you have a tendency to touch your locks.

Halloween costume wigs can add that extra pazazz to your holiday look! There are many to choose from, or create your own unique style with accessories, colors, or simple braids and hair bands. Choose a style that is versatile, so it can be used for years to come without purchasing a new one! There are even Halloween costume wigs made for children. Enjoy yourself this holiday, and let your hair have some fun too!
