It’s almost Halloween — the season of sparkles, wigs, wild colors, and sticky hair spray that somehow lingers until Thanksgiving. 👻
Before you dive into costume prep, here’s a reminder: the real fright this year isn’t tangled hair or glitter fallout… it’s what’s hiding in your hair products.
Many conventional gels and sprays are loaded with harsh chemicals that can irritate the scalp, cause buildup, and dry out delicate strands — especially for kids. The good news? You can create fun, creative looks without the scary stuff.
Here are five non-toxic Halloween hair ideas to help you style safely for the whole family — no tricks, just treats.
1. Shape and Shine with a Vegan Hair Gel
Need to spike up your little superhero’s hair or slick back a witchy bun? Skip the crunchy, alcohol-based gels.
Try our Classic Hair Gel — a vegan hair gel made with clean ingredients that give flexible hold and soft shine. It’s perfect for shaping curls, taming flyaways, or keeping braids in place all night long. The best part about it is that it doesn’t linger in your hair to harden after your day is done.
2. Prep with a Gentle Baby Shampoo
Before you start styling, give hair a clean slate. Use a gentle baby shampoo that removes buildup without stripping natural oils.
Our Hair & Body Babywash is safe for sensitive skin, pH-balanced, and free from sulfates, parabens, and phthalates — so even the tiniest goblins can join in on the fun.
3. Detangle Before the Decorations
Nothing ruins costume prep like knots and tears (the crying kind). Mist a non-toxic detangler through damp hair to make brushing easy and painless.
Our Classic Leave-In Conditioner softens strands and adds slip so you can braid, twist, and curl without breakage — and it leaves behind that signature clean, floral scent.
4. Add Texture the Clean Way
Adults, this one’s for you. Whether you’re helping your kids get ready or adding a touch of texture yourself, reach for a cruelty-free hair product that adds natural texture and control without residue.
The Classic Styling Balm gives effortless hold, frizz control, and that soft, touchable finish — so your hair looks spellbinding, not stiff.
5. Post-Party Cleanup: Keep It Kind
After trick-or-treating, gently wash away glitter, chalk, and spray with a mild cleanser and re-hydrate with your favorite conditioner.
This helps prevent dryness and keeps everyone’s hair healthy and shiny — long after the candy’s gone.
