How to Style Your Hair for Halloween: Elegant Looks with Hairtyes

Halloween is the perfect time to play with bold hair statements—whether you’re dressing up as a witch, a vintage starlet, or something delightfully eerie. A little accessory can go a long way, and three standout pieces from TYES by Tara give you serious styling power: the Bombshell Black Hair Bow Barrette, the Tease Black Lace Hair Bow, and the Queen Hair Bow Barrette. Here’s how to style them for halloween—with flair.

1. Classic 1940s Bombshell

Think smoky eyes, red lips, and polished waves. For this look, the Bombshell Black Hair Bow Barrette is your go-to. The satin finish and salon-style clip from TYES by Tara let you anchor your hairstyle with sophistication. TYES BY TARA

How to style it:

  • Start with a deep side part.

  • Use a curling iron to create loose, vintage-inspired waves. Brush them out very gently to get that soft Hollywood wave.

  • At the side or base of a low ponytail, clip the bombshell bow to draw attention to the face. The product page actually suggests styling it “For Straight or Sleek Hair Style into a Side Part or at the Base of a Low Ponytail.” TYES BY TARA

  • Pair it with a bold red lip and winged eyeliner for full effect.

Why it works for Halloween:
Even if you’re going for something spooky, anchoring your look with a polished piece keeps it wearable and elevated—no need to go full monster-mode unless you want to. This bow makes even a subtle costume feel intentional.

2. Gothic Lace Romance

If your Halloween vibe is “twilight enchantress” or “midnight masquerade,” then the Tease Black Lace Hair Bow is your secret weapon. This piece brings delicate black lace into the mix, giving you texture and mood. TYES BY TARA

Styling tips:

  • For long hair: Create a half-up style by pulling the top section back and securing it, then clip the lace bow where the half-up section starts.

  • For shorter or curly/coily hair: Position the bow slightly off-center above the ear or at the crown—this adds visual interest and keeps the look balanced. The product itself recommends placing it “Behind your Ear or at the Crown.” TYES BY TARA

  • Enhance the lace’s romantic feel with a soft smoky eye in charcoal or plum and a dark berry lip.

Why this works for Halloween:
Lace has inherent drama. It hints at antique, mysterious, even slightly haunted elegance. Combined with the bow’s shape, it sits between sweet and sinister—perfect for a subtle Halloween flair.

3. Regal & Refined: Queen for the Night

When you want to feel like royalty—perhaps a gothic queen, vampire empress, or shadow-princess—the Queen Hair Bow Barrette delivers. With a layered bow design and strong salon-style clip, it gives you structure and polish. TYES BY TARA

How to rock it:

  • Pull your hair into a sleek high ponytail or a straight-back low ponytail.

  • Clip the Queen bow at the base of the ponytail so it becomes the focal point. Product styling suggestions include using it “For Straight or Sleek Hair Style into a Side Part or at the Base of a Low Ponytail.” TYES BY TARA

  • Alternatively, go for a half-up, half-down look and place the bow where the top section is tied.

  • Dress up the look with metallic eyeshadow or silver accents to echo the bow’s trim. Add a bold earring to complete the regal vibe.

Why it’s ideal for Halloween:
Costumes that command respect—witch-queen hybrids, phantom royals, seductive monarchs—need a hair accessory that holds its own. The Queen bow does exactly that. It brings straight-up elegance, which makes your character more memorable.

Quick Bonus: Mix-and-Match Tricks

  • Traveling with limited hair accessories? Pick one of these bows and reuse it across different hairstyles. For example: the Bombshell for a wave style, the Tease for a half-up lace look, the Queen for a sleek pony or up-do.

  • For multi-person costumes (friends/family): Choose one bow style for each person, then vary colors or costume themes to make the set cohesive but unique.

  • Anchoring technique: Whatever hair texture you have, all the bows from TYES by Tara use a salon-style barrette closure. This means they’ll stay put—great for Halloween when you might move around a lot or take photos. TYES BY TARA+2TYES BY TARA+2

  • Use hairspray or texturizing mist before clipping the bow to give your base style grip—this helps the bow stay secure and the style appear fuller.
