As soon as the clocks struck October, twinkly lights and festive holiday features began popping up everywhere. If you’re of the camp that still can’t believe 2022 is a mere 3 months away, chances are you haven’t even begun to think about what to wear for Halloween this year. Whether you’ve already got a party planned or tend to leave things up until the last minute, having a few easily achievable hairstyles to create a costume in a pinch is key. Read on for a few of the easiest ways to transform your look this Halloween!
While many of us had great getaways this summer, now that fall has hit we’re committed to catching up on our favorite shows. Whether you’ve watched these hits, are waiting for the release or simply need a pop culture costume to get behind, we’ve got you covered.
Squid Game
Grab a tracksuit and don your best bed head. Squid Game is the latest Netflix release to go viral. The hit show, which takes place in South Korea, features players that are competing in a game of life and death for a cash prize. The player's outfits are fairly easy to create — a simple green tracksuit with your player number. When it came to the hair, due to the chaotic nature of the show, was worn down and natural and skin was sans makeup.
Product Picks: To achieve the perfect Squid Game texture, reach for KEVIN.MURPHY BEDROOM.HAIR for that just napped on look.
Bridgerton
Bridgerton proved to be the breakout show at the start of 2021 and included all the eloquence everyone loves most about period pieces. Even starting a new genre on the heels of the Cottagecore trend, Regencycore focused on empire waists, elbow-length gloves and intricate updos. Taking inspiration directly from Bridgerton, feel free to capitalize on natural texture, add a few curls or sprigs of flowers to a simple twist and call it a day.
Product Picks: Opt for Keune Style Curl Cream to enhance natural ringlets or Style Soft Set Spray to touch up hair for a soft hold after curling.
SATC Reboot: And Just Like That...
Although we’re all missing Samantha — Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda are back for the reboot of Sex and the City: And Just Like That… To create the look, think about pairing your best Sunday brunch look with vivacious curls or a killer blowout. If you want to go the tradition route, simply pick up a tutu and rock the iconic look from the original intro.
Product Picks: If a gorgeous blowout before brunch is what you're after, reach for Redken Quick Blowout to give you gorgeous results in less time!
The Many Saints of Newark
Although not much is known about this movie yet — what we do know is that James Gandolfini’s son Michael Gandolfini is already receiving accolades for his performance. In essence it is a prequel to The Soprano’s — which made quite a comeback during lockdown binges. Whether you’re opting for Tony, Carmella or classic Paulie, grab a high shine gel and slick your hair back or create a voluminous blowout.
Product Picks: Keune Brilliante Gel is ideal for slicked-back styles while Redken Big Blowout is a must-have for a voluminous blowout Carmella would definitely approve of.
Succession
Whether you’re obsessed with cousin Greg, Shiv, Kendall or Roman — you can easily pull off a costume with a power suit and a great pair of sunglasses. The world is waiting for the return of Season 3, and if you haven’t caught up yet we highly suggest that you do. Full of family drama, treachery, the theme song alone will give you chills. Pair your 5th Avenue best with a fresh haircut or a polished style and a touch of Chanel No. 5.
Product Picks: Keep your fresh cut looking its best with Wella Professionals EIMI Texture Grip Cream.
Yellowstone
If there’s anything that we learned over lockdown, it’s that Kevin Costner just keeps getting better. Set in the beautiful backdrop of Montana, the series follows a family who owns the largest ranch in the US as they try to keep their legacy alive. The outfits alone will make you want to sign up for horseback riding lessons. For the sake of Halloween, if you have a pair of jeans and something slightly resembling cowboy boots and a hat, you can easily recreate an ode to the Dutton’s.
Product Picks: Messy-sexy, lived-in hair is a must on the ranch. To get a look that could rival Casey's gorgeous locks, stick to KEVIN.MURPHY HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY for undone greatness.
