Halloween Costume Ideas for Long Hair

[stephanieak]

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a good Halloween costume in which I can incorporate my hair. It's 36 inches long so it should be a prominent feature.
I was thinking Pippi Longstocking, but the braids are sooo long I don't know it they would stay up properly. And also not poke eyes out with the wire I would surely need to wrap the braid around.
I'm going for fun and girly!

I know this would require an updo, and I don't know if that constitutes showing off your hair, but you could always be Princess Leia. I used to cosplay as Leia when I had waist length hair, and people were always shocked when I told them it was all my own hair in the styles.

Otherwise, a cool medieval or renaissance look is always great for long flowing locks!

Princess, mermaid (cover your boobies!), elf, fairy, etc. I think longhairs get the best costumes!

There's always hippie, Cher, etc.

Make lots of braids and use wires to turn them into snakes, like a Medusa.

At 36 inches, I'm guessing playing Lady Godiva is out, unless you're really short. Still, body suit + hobby horse, and you're set!

What color is your hair? That might make a difference.

Someone from a movie, like from Lord of the Rings?

Well, I was going to say Sadako from Ringu, but that's not really prissy, lol.
I agree that the princess/Renaissance lady look works great for long hair, since they most likely would have had very long hair unless they were in jail or had been ill.
