Why Halloween Hair?

Let the terror begin. Fancy hairstyles aren’t exactly my forte. I mean, yeah, I can do a simple braid, but I’m typically at a loss for anything that is more complicated.
Okay, so Halloween. I gathered a few hair ties, rolled up the sleeves, and got right down to work. What did I get? The most unbelievable great spider bun with my child beaming in pure joy over the thing.
I learned that Halloween hairstyles are not scary in the first place, because with a little imagination and basic supplies, you can make your child’s ordinary outfit spectacular.
