9. Halloween Hairstyle Ideas: Wednesday Addams

Maybe Morticia is not your jam, but what about her creepily adorable daughter Wednesday? As Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday is already the talk of the town (the show is coming out in November on Netflix), you’re still on time to show the world your version of the young Addams girl. The original Wednesday wears her hair in two extra long plaits and a middle part - an easy look that you can recreate with the addition of clip-in hair extensions, but Ortega’s look features a set of dark curtain bangs too. Want to give it a go? Then grab a pair of clip-in bangs to make the most of your Halloween costume without committing to your scissors.

10. Halloween Hairstyle Ideas: Arwen Undomiel

Are you a fan of the fantasy world more than horror movies and comic books? Then you’ll love to buy pointy latex ears and go as Arwen, Aragorn’s love interest and one of the most iconic characters living in Middle Earth. If you have a man to dress up as Viggo Mortensen, then you know you’ve already bagged that “best costume prize”. All elves of Lorien and Rivendell have incredibly long and healthy tresses - the perks of being a nearly immortal being, I guess - but if you haven’t exactly being following the Valar hair care routine then you can always get a set of clip-in hair extensions to recreate this look.

Is your fantasy style more badass than ethereal? Then Daenerys Targaryen - the Mother of Dragons - from the Game of Thrones franchise is the perfect Halloween costume for you.

The infamously light tresses of a Targaryen make the perfect braided do.

12. Halloween Hairstyle Ideas: Cersei Lannister

Is a Targaryen’s blonde too much? Then go Lannister gold - you won’t regret it. Cersei might not have been the best queen in Westeros - and the incestuous affair surely made it even grosser than it needed to be, but one thing is guaranteed: she knew how to slay a braided updo. The Lannisters were famous for their golden, sandy blonde hair - reminiscent of the mane of a lion, which also happens to be the family’s banner. Check out our range of blonde hair extensions to find your perfect match.

13. Halloween Hairstyle Ideas: Rhaenyra Targaryen

You thought I forgot about the latest Targaryen that everyone is rooting for? Absolutely not. Princess Rhaenyra’s iconic hairdos have already been the talk of the town - so much that HBO’s official TikTok account has also released a couple of interesting tutorials.

Arctic Monkeys also included a piece called “Chun-Li Flying Bird Kick” in one of their albums. But why is Chun-Li so popular? Well, not only she’s a total badass, but her looks have become such a sensation that 90s Chinese fashion was influenced by her as well. What's the First Lady Of Fighting Games' go-to hairstyle? A set of iconic space buns, of course.

17. Halloween Hairstyle Ideas: Kitana

There’s no way you can mention fighting games without talking about Mortal Kombat! Its viral theme song, the incredible character design and its infamously bloody graphics have made history throughout the 90s and early 00s. This video game was a nightmare for parents, probably second only to GTA San Andreas - and it’s easy to see why.

Recreate her looks with the aid of natural black hair extensions.
