Winona Ryder’s character, Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, sports an iconic tousled ponytail with sculpted goth bangs, perfect for Halloween when paired with pale foundation, a natural lip, and dark eyeliner. Karla Valenzuela, Sam Villa Ambassador and Redken Artist , recreated this look without needing to cut any hair, making it ideal for those who want a no-commitment option. For a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this style, see the details from Valenzuela.
How To:
Step 1: To recreate Lydia Deetz’s Beetlejuice-inspired Halloween hair, start by sectioning off the top of your hair from behind the ears to the crown to create a high ponytail. Leave 2-3 inches of hair around the hairline to blend and style later.
Step 2: For the rest of the hair, create a braid at the back, leaving the hairline pieces out, and tuck the braid under the top ponytail to conceal any extra hair.
Step 3: Apply root lift spray and blow-dry the hair using a paddle brush to shape and control it, then secure the ponytail tightly with elastic and bobby pins for a firm hold.
Step 4: To shorten the length of the ponytail, tie two elastics, attaching a bobby pin to each. Pin the elastics into the interior braid about 4 inches from the base of the ponytail, securing them by crossing from left to right. Fold the ponytail up and pin again to create added volume and lift.
Step 5: Once the ponytail is set, use a flat iron to create loose, undone waves at the ends for a more organic look. Clip in bangs and use shears to texturize them, giving them a spikey, edgy feel. Finally, apply a styling gel to sculpt the bangs into sharp, random sections and finish the look with a strong-hold hairspray to keep everything in place.
