Best Halloween Hairstyles for Kids with Natural Hair

 

Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to get creative with not just costumes, but also hairstyles for your little ones! Whether your child is dressing up as a superhero, princess, or an adorable animal, their natural hair can be styled in ways that complement their costume and showcase their beautiful curls and coils. At CARA B Naturally, we’re all about celebrating and embracing natural beauty, so let’s dive into some fun, easy, and spooky-cute Halloween hairstyles for kids with natural hair.

1. Afro Puff Buns for the Little Superheroes

For kids dressing up as superheroes like Wonder Woman or Black Panther, afro puff buns are a perfect match. This style keeps hair off the face, is super easy to create, and enhances any costume by highlighting the natural texture of your child’s hair.

How to achieve the look:

• Section the hair into two parts and moisturize each section using CARA B Naturally Leave-In Conditioner for added hydration.
• Secure each section into a puff with elastic bands.
• Fluff out the puffs to create volume and use hair gel or edge control for a sleek finish.

2. Princess Crown Braid

For those dressing up as princesses or fairies, a crown braid adds an elegant and magical touch. This hairstyle is both protective and versatile, keeping hair neatly tucked away while your child enjoys Halloween festivities.

How to achieve the look:

• Part the hair down the middle and create two large cornrows on each side.
• Cross the braids over the top of the head like a crown and secure them with bobby pins.
• Finish the look with a tiara or floral headband for extra sparkle.

3. Lion Mane for Animal Lovers

If your child is dressing up as a lion, creating a voluminous mane with their natural hair will elevate the look. This style plays up the natural texture of their curls and coils, making them the king (or queen) of the jungle.

How to achieve the look:

• Start by washing and conditioning the hair with CARA B Naturally Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner.
• After detangling, use a diffuser to dry the hair while maintaining its volume and texture.
• Tease the hair gently with a wide-tooth comb to create a fuller, fluffier mane.
• Add a lion ear headband for the finishing touch.

4. Spooky Spider Braids

If your child loves all things spooky, spider braids are a fun and creative way to embrace the Halloween spirit. This style adds a festive twist to traditional cornrows or braids by incorporating spider web patterns or hair accessories.

How to achieve the look:

• Create small, intricate cornrows in a circular or web-like pattern on the scalp.
• Leave the ends of the braids out or twist them for a more finished look.
• Add Halloween-themed accessories, such as spider clips or web-patterned scrunchies.

5. Puff and Braid Combo for the Busy Parent

For a quick and cute style that matches nearly any costume, a puff and braid combo is perfect. This style is simple to execute, yet looks fun and polished, making it ideal for busy parents who want a no-fuss look.

How to achieve the look:

• Section the hair at the front for a braided section and tie the rest into a high puff.
• Braid or twist the front section, then pull it back and secure it with the puff.
• Use CARA B Naturally Hair Mist for added shine and moisture.

Tips for Maintaining Natural Hair on Halloween:

• Moisturize: Use CARA B Naturally Leave-In Conditioner to keep your child’s hair hydrated under their costume.
• Protective Styling: Opt for styles like braids or twists that protect hair from tangles while your child enjoys Halloween activities.
• Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Keep styles loose and comfortable to prevent stress on the scalp and hair.
• Wrap It Up: After a long night of trick-or-treating, ensure your child sleeps with a satin scarf or bonnet to maintain their hairstyle and protect their natural curls.
