Halloween has always been my favorite excuse to play with hairstyles that feel a little extra.
Curly hair makes it even more fun because every twist and wave adds character to a look.
I love how a bit of texture can turn something simple into something dramatic without much effort.
Some styles feel spooky, others lean more glamorous, and I find it exciting to switch things up from one year to the next.
