DIY Curly Hair Costume Ideas
Curly hair is the perfect accessory for any costume or dress up opportunity...it just takes everything up a notch! The hardest part is figuring out what you want to be! Let the Curly Costume fun begin!
This biggest challenge can be finding time in your busy schedule to plan out your costume. Is is such a time saver to be able to pull something together with items from your own closet and accessories you may have laying around the house. Plus, its more fun to DIY your costume than to spend tons of money on something you only wear for a few hours. You will be surprised how easy it is to be festive and take part in the fun with just a few ideas of inspiration!

 

The Curly Pirate🏴‍☠️

This look is especially easy if your days are filled and time is a factor. This look comes together rather quickly and  works perfectly on multi-day curls. Find your favorite silk elastic headband or bandana scarf to start your transformation. Next divide hair into 2 small sections near the front of the face, and braid to add that swashbuckling detail that screams "Arrrgh!"  Add tiny gold cuff embellishments to give just a touch of "treasure" to the look. Refresh curls with Rizos Curls Beach Waves Texturizing Spray to create fullness and body, like a day spent at sea at the wheel of a pirate ship. Round out the look with a corset or ruffled linen blouse with a vest paired with black leggings or skirt and tall boots.
Add an optional eye patch to have everyone admiring your Pirate's Booty! 

 

 

The Queen: Selena 🌹

 

Anytime we can channel the Queen, we never miss an opportunity to pay homage to THE Selena! Forever " La Reina"!  This costume is so iconic you can literally find all accessories ready made in stores or your favorite online retailer, however with a little creativity, glue gun and some rhinestones you can whip up this look in no time at all.  Starting with hair, we will need to tame our curls to mimic the sleek style needed. Hydrate curls with Rizos Curls Refresh & Detangle Spray to detangle and manipulate curls into a low ponytail that sits at the nape of the neck. Add Light Hold Gel to give no crunch hold and keep hair laid and slayed. For good measure, add a few sprays of Rizos Curls Alcohol Free Hairspray to polish of the style and ensure it stays in place for a full night of trick or treating. Place on your head, your Selena-inspired jeweled newsboy cap to mirror her unforgettable look. Add that rhinestone bustier, black leggings and belt to have people taking a double take. Can't forget the signature red pout and hoop earrings! And don't worry, if bold red lips are not your normal look, just remember "Anything for Selenas!"
