Halloween parties are organized in abundance and it is the intention to appear a little original there. You can no longer get away with pulling a sheet with two holes over your head. It is time to spice up your Halloween outfit.
True to the theme of 2022, we have listed the best Halloween characters for you with all the matching grooming products. Throw your fake vampire teeth in the trash, time to get inspired.
Eddie Munson (Stranger Things)
Surely we can say that Stranger Things season 4 was the stunner of 2022. And specifically one character won the hearts of audiences around the world: Eddie Munson. The trailer park, metal loving leader of the Hellfire Club. He was the reason Metallica's "Master of Puppets" hit No. 1 on the charts again, as well as the reason his iconic hairstyle returned to the scene. With his recognizable look, you can transform yourself into this Hellfire fanatic. You need a few products to recreate his iconic cut.
Uppercut Deluxe 's foam tonic will strengthen, enhance and define curls. So if Eddie were to use one product, it would definitely be this one. This hair tonic gives your hair a light hold and adds volume. Now if you need even more volume, use this tonic before you blow dry your hair.
This lightweight cream is perfect for creating Eddie's natural look. Also, this product is perfect for a hairstyle where you want to create a slight shine without making it less natural. In addition, this cream brings volume and texture to the hair and can be used from short to long hair.
3. Denman D4 - Original Styler
This brush is suitable for both smoothing longer hair and defining curls. Actually, this brush from Denman is made for brushing hairstyles like Munson's. So should you want your hairstyle to look like his, this is your brush.
Elvis Presley
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time. Elvis f*cking Presley! Of course, this man has always been an icon, even in this day and age. But, why he is in the 2022 list is of course because of the mega popular movie that came out this year. This icon has his own style and this is certainly reflected in his dance moves, choice of clothing but also especially in his hair style. With the following products you will quickly be able to create your Elvis cut. At least you won't have to buy such an itchy wig.
The brand we automatically associate with the King of Rock'-n-Roll is Schmiere. This German brand is completely inspired by 1950s hotrods & pin-ups. We can well imagine that Elvis might have discovered Schmiere during his army service in Germany.
1. Schmiere Extra Strong Pomade Water Based.
This pomade contains a kind of oily resin that you apply into your hair. Don't worry, because it is water-based, this can be rinsed out of your hair in no time. But if you go for Elvis, then you go for this greasy product. This pomade is syrupy, sticky and offers the very strongest hold a water-based pomade has to offer. Due to 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 Hair Spray
Once you've got your Rockabilly hairstyle, of course you'll want to keep it in shape. With Doo-Wop hairspray you can be sure of this. You create extra volume (just like Elvis) and a mega strong hold. You can easily keep your hairstyle in shape all day (or night). The finish is shiny but not too shiny.
3. Schmiere Foldable Comb in Leather Case
You can't get a hairstyle like that of the King of Rock'-n-Roll with just any brush or comb. No, only the best of the best from that era were allowed to be used. Just look up pictures of him, you'll see that a quality comb went through here. So the collapsible comb is the perfect match. This one can be stylishly taken anywhere so you can be sure your hair will stay put. This comb is made of stainless steel and birch wood and the case of cowhide leather.
Lt. Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw (Top Gun 2022)
Alexa, play "Highway to the Dangerzone - Kenny Loggins". Speaking of hit movies of 2022, Top Gun: Maverick is of course not to be missed. This movie created a global change, as the mustache has returned. The mustache has made its long-awaited comeback and man oh man, how happy we are about that. Time for a change this Halloween: shave off that beard, it's mustache time.
Once you go for the mustache, of course you have to groom and style it. With this mustache wax from Reuzel, you will create a natural-looking shine and tame the stiffest whiskers. The strong hold will make your mustache completely controllable. This mustache wax is strong enough to get you through any day, night and party.
If you want to recreate the look of Bradley Bradshaw, the mustache is not enough. No, in fact, in addition to the stylish mustache, The Rooster also includes a mega good haircut. To recreate this, Morgan' s sea salt spray is a good match. This spray gives your hair the loose, natural look with lots of hold.
To finish your hair you can use this natural paste from Morgan's. The matte finish keeps your hair looking natural but also gives your hair volume and texture. This paste is easily distributed through your hair and can be rinsed out without any problems because it is water-based.
Ragnar (Vikings)
The legendary hero from Viking times has become known to the vast majority of the Dutch people in 2022. This male character is loved (and makes many people fall in love), making him the perfect character during this Halloween.
This snake oil is an all-rounder. Moisturizes your skin, conditions your hair & beard, and contains a warm adventurous scent. This oil will take good care of stiff beard hairs so your beard won't look unhealthy. Of course, Vikings do have a nice feral side so it shouldn't get too neat.
This beard balm from Dick Johnson will style your beard the way you want it. So even a little more feral, but in your desired manner. 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 combing your longer beard hairs. The brush is made, to stay in the viking vibe, of wild boar bristles. 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 of a Game of Thrones spin-off, you think "this is not going to be anything. But nothing could be further from the truth.
House of the Dragon is a mega hit, in part because of the controversial Daemon Targaryan. This brash, rebellious and controversial blond warrior is certainly recognizable. His long white hair can be worn in multiple styles, as long as it is straight, shiny and healthy.
1. Bullfrog No-Yellow Enlightening Shampoo.
