Harley Quinn Hair Is A Halloween Must-Have

by Allie Gemmill

If there's one movie character that will be at the top of everyone's list this Halloween, it's Harley Quinn. The Suicide Squad's resident villainess has a look that utterly to-die-for look that can be easily replicated. Bonus: it's just the right mix of mischievous, sassy, and sweet to fit the many stages of Halloween exhilaration you're sure to experiences when you wear it. No matter how you choose to create your Harley Quinn costume though, the one element that cannot be foregone is her hair. In Suicide Squad, she has long white hair with pink and blue ombré ends (probably permanently dyed from that dip in the chemical bath). When fighting, she puts it up into pigtails to remind everyone she's got a sweeter side (can't forget about that, puddin').

Harley Quinn's look is the literal definition of iconic; in Suicide Squad, she's ditched her legendary harlequin costume and is revamped to modern perfection. This Halloween, you'll want to make sure you get the latest, updated version of her costume just right. Whether you're recreating Harley Quinn's sartorial statement to the letter or you're picking and choosing your favorite pieces to create a recognizable but personalized look, you're not going to want to skip a thing. Here are some ingenious and easy ways to get the perfect Harley Quinn hairstyle.
