Homemade Gray Hair for Halloween

Go gray for the night.

When Halloween comes around, it's time to get creative with your costume, which often includes authenticating your hair color to match the ensemble. You can become a scary witch with a mass of wild gray hair, or streak gray through a fake beard to become Rip Van Winkle. The process is simple, takes only minutes to accomplish and can be washed out when you are done. All you need to do is decide on your style.

Things You'll Need

• Gel
• Corn starch
• Baby powder
• Grey color-depositing hair spray

Instructions

1. Tease, curl or style your hair into the look the costume dictates.

2. Apply hair gel to the areas you want to color. This will help the coloring products adhere to your hair.

3. Sprinkle corn starch or baby powder to the gelled areas to give them a gray look. Shake out the excess powder.

4. Spritz your hair with a hair spray that deposits gray color; find it at a novelty or beauty-supply shop. Shake the can well to mix the color. Spray liberally. It will cover your hair with the gray color while setting your style.

Tips & Warnings

• Wash your hair afterward with a clarifying shampoo to strip out the products.
