Halloween is around the corner, and if you're dressing up as a famous character, nailing the hair is just as crucial as getting the outfit right. Whether you're going for something spooky, bold, or fun, at Crazy Bull, we have the products you need to achieve those iconic styles. From Dracula's slicked-back vampire look to Joe Exotic's wild Tiger King mullet, here’s how to ensure your hair is on point for the spooky season.
Dracula – The Classic Vampire Slick
To truly embody the Prince of Darkness, you need hair as sharp as your fangs. Dracula’s style is all about that classic, slicked-back, vampiric look. You’ll want to use Bull Blaster Pomade to get the perfect shine and hold. Not only will this keep your hair neat and slick all night long, but it will give you that polished, slightly menacing aesthetic that Dracula is known for.
Tip: Use a comb for extra precision when slicking your hair back, and finish it off with a little spray to maintain that shine throughout the night.
Joe Exotic – The Tiger King Mullet
Volume is vital if you want to channel your inner Joe Exotic and turn heads with a bold, larger-than-life look. The Tiger King’s wild mullet needs texture and fullness to capture his chaotic energy truly. Combine Bull Blaster Sea Salt Spray with Space Dust Hair Powder to achieve this. The salt spray will give you that gritty texture, while the powder adds lift and volume to that signature wild mane.
Tip: If your natural hair doesn’t match Joe Exotic's iconic colour, grab a bleached blonde wig to complete the look. You can also use temporary dye to get the full effect.
The Joker – Clown Prince of Crime
If you’re dressing up as the Joker, you know his green, wet-look hair is as essential to the costume as the makeup. Start by dying your hair green (temporary hair dye is perfect for this), then use Bull Blaster Pomade for that greasy, slick finish. The pomade will give you the perfect amount of hold and shine to keep your chaotic locks in place, whether you're going for Heath Ledger’s Joker or Joaquin Phoenix’s.
Tip: After applying the pomade, run your hands through your hair to give it that messy, wild texture that captures the Joker’s unhinged vibe.
Jack Torrance – The Shining
Consider going as Jack Torrance from The Shining for a more low-maintenance costume. His dishevelled look is easy to pull off and makes for an iconic Halloween character. Jack’s hair is simple and slightly unkempt—precisely what you’d expect from someone losing their mind in a haunted hotel. A bit of Space Dust Hair Powder will give you the right volume and texture, allowing you to achieve that slightly chaotic, windswept look with minimal effort.
Tip: This look works best with medium-length hair. Simply apply the powder, tousle your hair with your fingers, and let it settle into a natural, messy shape.
Edward Scissorhands – The Master of Messy
Edward Scissorhands is the ultimate symbol of chaotic creativity, and his jagged, messy hair perfectly reflects that. If you’re dressing as the gothic hero, use Clay Play to create textured, separated strands with a soft hold. Apply a generous amount of Clay Play through the hair, tousle it up, and let your fingers do the rest, creating an otherworldly, spiked style. This look doesn’t need to be perfect—it thrives in its messiness.
Elvis Presley – King of Rock ‘n’ Roll
Want to bring back the King this Halloween? Elvis's signature pompadour is all about volume and shine. To achieve the high, slicked-back pomp, start with Bull Blaster Sea Salt Spray to lift your hair, then follow it up with Bull Blaster Pomade to lock it in place and for that classic, shiny finish to define the quiff. With this look, you’ll be ready to rock the night away.
Harley Quinn – Mischievous Pigtails
Harley Quinn's signature pigtails are fun, flirty, and slightly unhinged, just like her character. You’ll need to focus on texture and volume to pull off this look. Spray Bull Blaster Sea Salt Spray on damp hair to add a natural wave and rough texture, perfect for Harley’s messy yet chic pigtails. Grab some temporary hair dye to add the blue and pink tips to your pigtails if you want to go all out.
Tip: Tie your hair into high pigtails, leaving some strands loose around your face for that playful, carefree look Harley is known for.
Frankenstein’s Monster – Rough, Tough, and Flat
Frankenstein’s Monster is all about the bold, square look. To nail his hairstyle, you’ll need something with a strong hold to keep the shape flat and controlled. Play Hard matte paste is perfect, offering enough strength to keep your hair stiff and structured even as you stumble through Halloween night. Use it generously to keep your hair in place, and finish with a comb to add those sharp, monstrous angles.
