October is in full swing and all horror enthusiasts know what that means: Halloween! Halloween is no longer celebrated only in America, as it is starting to sink its claws into Dutch society. Halloween parties are being organized in abundance, and the aim is to show up a bit original. You can no longer get away with throwing a sheet with two holes over your head. It's time to spice up your Halloween outfit.
In the spirit of 2022, we have listed the best Halloween characters for you with all the matching care products. Throw your fake vampire teeth in the trash, it's time to get inspired.
Eddie Munson (Stranger Things)
We can certainly say that Stranger Things Season 4 was the hit of 2022. And specifically, one character captured the hearts of audiences around the world: Eddie Munson. The trailer park, metal-loving leader of the Hellfire Club. He was the reason that Metallica's “Master of Puppets” was back at number 1 on the charts, and also the reason his iconic hairstyle returned to the streets. With his recognizable appearance, you can transform yourself into this Hellfire fanatic. You need a few products to recreate his iconic look.
The foam Tonic from Uppercut Deluxe will enhance, improve, and define curls. If Eddie were to use one product, it would definitely be this one. This hair Tonic gives your Hair a light Hold and provides a bit of extra volume. If you need even more volume, this Tonic can be used before you blow-dry your Hair.
2. Uppercut Deluxe Easy Hold
This lightweight cream is perfect for creating Eddie's natural look. This product also fits perfectly with a hairstyle where you want to create a light shine without making it less natural. Additionally, this Hair Cream brings volume and texture to the Hair and can be used for short to long Hair.
3. Denman D4 - Original Styler
This brush is suitable for smoothing longer Hair as well as defining curls. In fact, this brush from Denman is made for brushing hairstyles like Munson's. So if you want the hairstyle to look exactly like his, this is your brush.
Elvis Presley
You ain’t nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time. Elvis f*cking Presley! This man has always been an icon, even in this era. But, why he is on the 2022 list is, of course, because of the mega-popular movie that came out this year. This icon has his own style, which is certainly reflected in his dance moves, clothing choices, but especially in his hairstyle. With the following products, you'll quickly be able to create your Elvis hairstyle. At least you won't have to buy an itchy wig.
The Brand we automatically associate with the King of Rock’n-Roll is Schmiere. This German Brand is fully inspired by the 50s hotrods & pin-ups. We can well imagine that Elvis could have discovered Schmiere during his military service in Germany.
1. Schmiere Extra Strong Pomade Water Base Type
This Pomade contains a type of greasy resin that you apply to your Hair. Don't worry, because it's water-based, it can be rinsed out of your Hair in no time. But if you go for Elvis, you go for this greasy product. This Pomade is viscous, sticky, and offers the strongest Hold a Water-Based Pomade has to offer. Because of the castor oil in this Pomade, your Hair will not harden and dry out. The best of both worlds, perfect for the Rock’n-Roll life.
2. Schmiere Doo-Wop Hairspray
Once you've got your Rockabilly hairstyle, you naturally want to keep it in shape. With the Doo-Wop hairspray, you are assured of this. You create extra volume (just like Elvis) and a mega strong Hold. Your hairstyle can easily be kept in shape all day (or night). The finish is shiny but not too shiny.
3. Schmiere Foldable Comb in Leather Case
A hairstyle like that of the King of Rock’n-Roll is not achieved with just any brush or comb. No, only the best of the best from that time could be used. Just look up photos of him, you can see that a quality comb has gone through it. The foldable comb is therefore the perfect match. It can be stylishly taken anywhere, ensuring that your Hair stays in place. This comb is made of stainless steel and birch wood, and the case is made of cowhide leather.
Lt. Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw (Top Gun 2022)
Alexa, play “Highway to the Dangerzone - Kenny Loggins”. When we talk about hit movies of 2022, Top Gun: Maverick cannot be left out. This film has created a worldwide change, the Moustache is back from being gone. The Moustache has made its long-awaited comeback, and man oh man, are we happy about it. Time for a change this Halloween: shave off those Beard, it’s Moustache time.
Once you go for the Moustache, you must naturally take good care and style it. With this Moustache Wax from Reuzel will create a natural-looking shine and tame the most stubborn whiskers. Thanks to the strong Hold, your Moustache is fully controllable. This Moustache Wax is strong enough to get you through every day, night, and party.
2. Morgan’s Sea Salt Spray
If you want to recreate the look of Bradley Bradshaw, the Moustache is not enough. No, besides the stylish Moustache, The Rooster also includes a mega good hairstyle. To recreate this, a Sea Salt Spray is a good match. This spray gives your Hair the loose, natural look with lots of Hold.
3. Morgan’s Matt Hair Paste
To complete your Hair, you can use this natural Hair Paste from Morgan’s. The matte finish ensures that your Hair looks natural but also gives your Hair volume and texture. This Hair Paste is easy to distribute through your Hair and can be washed out without any problems because it is water-based.
Ragnar (Vikings)
The legendary hero from the Viking Age became known to the majority of the Dutch public in 2022. This masculine character is loved (and makes many people fall in love) and is therefore the perfect character for this Halloween.
This snake oil is a jack-of-all-trades. It hydrates your skin, cares for your Hair & Beard, and contains a warm adventurous scent. This oil will take good care of the stubborn beard hairs so that your Beard will not look unhealthy. Of course, Vikings have a nice wild side, so it shouldn't be too neat.
This Beard Balm from Dick Johnson will style your Beard as you wish. So also a bit more wild, but in your desired way. This balm contains a warm, masculine scent of vanilla and whiskey. Exactly how we think this Viking hero would smell.
This masculine Beard Brush is perfect for Combs your longer beard hairs. The brush is made, to stay in the Viking vibe, from wild boar hairs. The coarser beards can be brushed with this Beard Brush from Dick Johnson.
Daemon Targaryan (House of the Dragon)
And then the star of this mega popular series, House of the Dragon. Usually, spin-offs are not as good as the first series. And especially when you hear about a spin-off of Game of Thrones, you think 'this won't be anything.' But nothing is further from the truth.
House of the Dragon is a mega hit, partly due to the controversial Daemon Targaryan. This cheeky, rebellious, and controversial blonde warrior is certainly recognizable. His long white hair can be worn in multiple styles, as long as it is sleek, shiny, and healthy.
1. Bullfrog No-Yellow Enlightening Shampoo
The uncle of the main character has White Hair without yellow tones. To create this white Hair, you will need to eliminate the yellow tones from your Hair. The best way to do this (if you don't feel like going to the hairdresser) is through a good Silver Shampoo. This Shampoo from Bulfrog neutralizes all yellow pigmentation from your Hair and contains the classic barbershop scent.
This bestseller from Forte Series will transform unruly Hair into wonderfully silky soft Hair. This Hair Oil contains Argan Oil and has the power to make your hair soft, healthy, and strong. Through the nourishing formula, your Hair is protected from external factors so you can face any battle with ease. Even if those are the battlefields where Daemon occasionally finds himself.
3. Denman D81M Style & Shine Brush
This brush is specially designed for the Grooming and Styling of all hair types and textures.

All in all, there are plenty of original Halloween costumes for men to think of in 2022. The fun part is that you will be one of the first with this costume, as no one knew about these characters last year. You will also be quickly recognized, so you won't walk around as some dressed-up unknown weirdo. That's a relief. But above all, we think these products will give you a lot of pleasure, during Halloween, but also afterward.
Happy haunting!
