16. The Steampunk Clockwork Ballerina
Merge the grace of a classical dancer with the rigid beauty of clockwork machinery. The Clockwork Ballerina style starts with a flawless, high-shine ballerina bun positioned perfectly at the crown of the head. Use a smoothing pomade to ensure there is not a single flyaway hair, creating a clean, mechanical perfection.
The artistic contrast comes from the accessories. Wrap a series of interlocking brass and copper gear chains around the base of the bun. Secure a vintage-style clockwork key to the back of the updo, making it look as though you must be wound up to dance. This hairstyle is highly creative, narrative-driven, and sure to spark conversations at any Halloween gathering.
