Who said that the kiddos get to have all the fun for Halloween??
Halloween is the perfect time to dress up and doll up as your favorite characters, artists, and other spooky legends.
Usually, it’s our Mini Mixers and kiddos that get to change into adorable versions of their favorite icon, but adult curls deserve to have some fun too!
The best part is this: you don’t even have to alter your hair texture to get into the Halloween spirit.
There are plenty of costume ideas that are centered around natural hair, so you don’t have to change a thing about your curls. (Except for maybe the color…)
Need some help figuring out your perfect Halloween costume? These picks will highlight your curls in all of their glory:
