Halloween costumes are all in the details, folks, and Halloween hair color sprays, combs, and chalk can help accentuate your fancy dress look. Whether you opt for something sweet or downright terrifying (as we're currently bingeing the best Halloween movies, we're all for exploring the terrifying route), they're a sure-fire way to get spooky season-ready. 

Funky-colored strands will set you apart from the amateurs, so you might as well go big or go home—just make sure to take proper care of your locks when removing your temporary hue once the frightening festivities have come to an end. 

As there's no better way to secure victory in the costume contest than with a cool costume and 'do, browse outfit inspiration for easy Halloween costumes and polish it all off with our edit of temporary hair colors below. See you at the Monster Mash!

What care should you have when dyeing your hair for Halloween?

To ensure you prep your hair properly before loading up on your Halloween color spray, we asked an expert to share some top tips for getting it right. "Do a deep conditioner before [you apply] to help even out the porosity, and make sure you have a clarifying shampoo on hand for when you have to wash it out," says Kristina Dimoplon, stylist at Live By the Sword Salon (opens in new tab) in Brooklyn, New York. 

Dimoplon also suggests that those with processed and dry hair might risk getting stains on their strands, and those with "super" beach blonde hair should consider a wig as an alternative. This way you'll avoid staining your blonde tresses beyond spooky season. 

No matter what you're doing for Halloween—going out, staying in, dressing up or dressing down—we highly recommend indulging in the scariest movies on Netflix. in the lead-up to get you in the mood. October wouldn't be complete without 'em!
