- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles,
and today I'm going to show you three of my favorite
Halloween Hairstyles Spooktorials.
So the first one we're gonna do today
is the Harlequin pigtails.
Now if you guys remember, we put the pigtails in
and then we colored her hair blue,
so she became the perfect Harlequin.
Okay, to begin this hairstyle, all I did
was put some soft, really soft curls in the end,
and I parted her hair straight down the middle
into two sections.
Now before I do anything else as far as hairstyling goes,
I'm gonna spray her hair pink and blue to match her eyes.
So we're gonna do that.
(upbeat music)
Okay, and when you're all done spraying the hair,
it should look something like this.
I'm gonna take this off now.
It's dry and ready to go.
And we're gonna start the hairstyle.
Now the first thing we're gonna do
before the actual hairstyle, is pull each section of hair
up into pigtails, just a few inches above the ear.
I'm gonna start on this left side.
And make sure that you leave some hair out in front.
Harley had quite a bit of hair just kind
of randomly falling right in front of her face.
And then pull it up into a ponytail.
You can use some hairspray if you want to.
But don't slick it to much, like she was fighting
in the, you know, movie, so her hair looked
a little rough and ragged, and that's totally Harley.
(upbeat music)
And you can see that that shifts the pink a little bit,
which is kinda what we want, we just want a ragged-looking
ponytail like she's been fighting.
I am gonna take a piece now, and make sure
that it has some pink at the ends.
And I'm gonna take it and wrap it around
until this pink shows,
like this.
And then you can just use a bobby pin
to secure it into place.
(upbeat music)
And then, just for a little added bonus at the top,
I'm gonna go back and just backcomb a little bit,
right at the top.
And make sure we get lots of pink showing through.
And this ponytail kinda just looks ratchet.
And there you go.
Now, you're gonna just repeat on the opposite side.
♪ Because you know that I'm coming ♪
♪ A take down, a take down ♪
♪ Well next round's a take down, take down ♪
♪ A take down, a take down ♪
And there you have Harlequin through
the majority of the movie, woo hoo!
The Harlequin piggy tails.
Okay, let's do the final spin for Harlequin.
That rhymed.
She is one tough, crazy cookie.
(upbeat music)
The second tutorial today is the Unicorn half-ups.
So if you guys remember, we took braids.
We twisted them around, we left some
of the hair hanging down.
We added a unicorn horn, and it was the perfect unicorn.
To begin our unicorn tutorial, we parted her hair
down the middle and pulled both sides
up into high ponytails.
I'm gonna take this ponytail and I'm gonna divide
off about a fourth of her hair, and so about,
well maybe two thirds and one third of her hair.
And you can see, I've already done this and straightened
this piece 'cause I wanted it super straight.
The piece on top, I'm going to just run
a little bit of dry wax through,
just to add a little texture to it.
And I'm going to braid it.
And we don't want this to be a super tight braid
because we want this bun on the top to be nice and full.
Okay, when you get your braid done,
secure it with an elastic and then you're just gonna
go back and really puff and pancake and fluff the braid
so that it looks big and really full, lots of volume.
Don't be afraid to just really tug.
(upbeat music)
And then take the braid,
and we're going to wrap it
and create a bun shape right here at the top.
And of course, hide this end.
And then what I'm gonna do is take this,
make sure the straight hair is just falling
straight down next to her ear.
Might even tuck that just underneath.
Like this, and then you're going to bobby pin the bun
in place, down as tight against the head right here
as you can, so that it covers the elastic completely.
(upbeat music)
When you get it pinned and secure, then just go back,
make sure that you like the way it looks from the front,
and if you don't, just fluff and pull,
making the adjustments necessary until you like the way
that the bun is sitting, and where it's positioned.
When you're all done with that, you're just gonna repeat
the same thing on the other side.
♪ Now the fairytale has started ♪
♪ Happy endings I will share with you ♪
(upbeat music)
And you are all done.
(twinkling)
Now just for fun and just to make her look
a little more majestic, we're going to spray
a little bit of white through her hair
and make it even more fun and glittery.
(upbeat music)
Okay, when you get the hair all colored the way you want it,
you're finished.
Now to finish Brooklyn off, we're going to just add,
a unicorn isn't a unicorn without a horn,
so we have this darling little jeweled headpiece
that I found, and then a pretty white cape.
And we're ready to go (twinkling),
okay, let's do the final spin on our unicorn hair tutorial.
I did some glitter down the center part.
If you guys want a tutorial on that,
be sure to leave a comment below.
And yay, here it is.
(upbeat music)
The third Spooktorial we're doing today
is the zombie cheerleader.
This one's one of my personal favorites
because Shaun and Bailey together made the best
football and zombie cheerleader I've ever seen.
But we took hairpins, twisted the hair around the hairpins
to create a crazy, dynamic, like really nutso
zombie hairstyle, which is awesome.
So what I've done is I've started by separating her hair,
and I've just pulled this section,
like a small section at the very back, I've left it out
and I pulled the rest of it up and out of the way.
And we're gonna be just dividing
the sections up her head as we go along.
Now I'm gonna go back and take about a one inch section.
And on her hair is about one inch.
If you have fine hair, or super thick hair,
it may mean you need to adjust the sections
a little bit according to the type of hair you have.
I'm gonna take a hairpin, this is what a hairpin looks like.
It's different than a bobby pin.
And I'm gonna take the hairpin and put it
right at the root of that strand.
Like this, and then I'm gonna begin wrapping the hair
around the hairpin, kind of in a figure eight motion.
So it's gonna weave in and out of those two side prongs.
In and out, in and out, and we're just gonna
keep doing this, and you can see that with my thumb,
I'm kind of holding them and pushing 'em upward,
which allows the room at the bottom
of the prongs to stay open and usable.
And we're gonna wrap until we get to the end of her hair.
You're gonna take your flat iron,
and you're just gonna clamp it, right here at the end.
Try to hang on to that end as best you can.
Clamp it down, just for a few seconds.
All the way up,
like that.
Wrap these ends, if you see, it'll pretty much stay
on there by itself, now that you've clamped it,
but just for a little added security if you want,
do it this way if you can,
there's a couple of other options.
One is to take a little aligator clip like this
and just secure that end in there,
clip it on, so that it holds it tight
while it's cooling and setting.
And a second option is to take, and I like this one,
to take a bobby pin,
and just run a bobby pin right up the middle.
And that helps hold it in place.
A second option, if you don't wanna use heat,
is to wrap the hair on the hairpins just like this,
and when it's a little tiny bit damp still,
and then let it air dry.
You can let it air dry just by itself.
You can air dry it over night,
if you'd really wanna sleep in these.
Or you can even pop 'em under a hooded dryer
for a few minutes, or using a hair dryer on a cool setting,
just kind of air dry some of that hair
so that it tightens up those curls.
Any of the above works just fine.
So let me show you another...
Curl to it, so we're gonna take that hair,
we're gonna take our hairpin, again,
put it right at the root and then begin
wrapping the hair around the hairpin.
So just remember, it's a figure eight motion,
in and out, in and out, in and out,
and you just push with your thumb upward as you go along,
(popping)
to create room for yourself with your hair all the way down.
And then take your bobby pin or your straight iron
and go ahead and straighten it right now.
And then, I'm gonna put on top of this,
using the straightener.
Just hold it for a few seconds,
it really doesn't take tons of time.
And you have a nice curl.
We're gonna go ahead and just do the rest of her hair
going across, and then we're gonna begin going up
until we have her whole head done.
(upbeat music)
Okay, and we are done.
That took about an hour to do, and I did it just by myself
and we counted and there were 45
in Bailey's hair, she has pretty thick hair,
and I did pretty thick sections even,
but if you had a lot finer hair, you could do
smaller sections and it may not take you as long.
When you're all done and you let the curls
cool and set even a little bit more, then the fun begins
because you get to take it all out.
So to take it out, you just release
whatever's holding it on the ends
and just gently tug it off of the hairpin, all the way.
And then you can just remove the hairpin.
At the top, it might be a little untwisty.
And what you get is this really fun zigzagged curl,
as you can see, from the little crimpies that we did.
And it almost looks like rick rack, like sewing rick rack,
which is why they call it the rick rack set,
or rick rack curls or hairpin curls, any of the above.
And, what happens when you get a bunch of 'em,
take this one out,
is that they just get, when you start separating
them with your fingers a little bit,
they just get really full because of the crimps,
and it just creates tons and tons of volume and texture.
(upbeat music)
Now I'm just gonna take 'em all out,
and then I'll show you the finished product.
(upbeat music)
And the last one.
And you have all of your hairpin curls done.
So at this point, what I'm gonna do is
just very gently, separate with my fingers.
Now obviously, this is gonna frizz it some more,
which is what we're looking for here.
So, I don't wanna run a brush through it though,
'cause that will just completely poof it out of control,
and we don't want it out of control.
We just want it really, really voluminous, lots of texture.
(upbeat music)
And we are finished, so let's do the final spin.
Just look at all that curl and volume, it's awesome.
And you can definitely see how you could pull off
a witch, or a lion, or a zombie, or Hagrid.
Yeah, it has a very editorial feel to me even,
something you might see on "America's Next Top Model".
Just tons-- - It's very fluffy.
- Of fluff, and I love it.
