Trend reports are telling us that from retro housewives to vampires, Halloween costumes are going to be all about this year’s most popular big (and small) screen characters. I consulted Pantene Celebrity Stylist, Danilo, and he helped me out in a big way with quick, easy, at-home how-tos on the biggest styles expected to be seen this weekend.

Note: Danilo is a Pantene stylist so his product recommendations are largely Pantene, but if you have favorite products at home, feel free to use those when creating your frighteningly fabulous look!

Retro housewife: Mad Men style

  1. Start by using the Pantene Pro-V Smooth Shampoo & Conditioner to help tame frizz and leave hair silky
  2. Apply the Pantene Restoratives Frizz Control Ultra Smoothing Balm to damp hair
  3. Blow-dry hair using a natural or combination bristle round brush
  4. Wrap big sections of hair around a 1-inch barrel curling iron, wrapping from root to end for deep waves (wrap the front of hair away from the face and curl ends under)
  5. Part hair to one side and apply gently brush hair with a natural bristly brush to keep curls together (using a synthetic brush will separate the curls creating a more tousled look)
  6. Finish the look with the Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Maximum Hold Aerosol Hairspray
