15 Scary Things to Hang on Your Door This Halloween

First impressions are important. So why not make a spooky one this Halloween with your front door? If your guests or trick-or-treaters can make it past the porch, they will definitely appreciate all your effort. From halloween wreaths to creative door hangings and accessories, these ideas are are just what you need to set the mood this Halloween. Check out the 15 creepy, crawly and creative ways to decorate your door below.

1. Mummy Wrapped Door: The back of the door might look a little messy, but the front looks awesome. Statement-making, inexpensive decor FTW! (via East Coast Creative)

2. Eyeball Wreath: We might get the jitters just making this wreath and having all those googly eyes watching us. This project is easy enough that the kids can help make it, but totally spooky enough to hang on your door. (via Tried and True)

3. Spooky Decals: If you have a glass door, a scary decal like this would be just the thing to up your spooky stoop game this season. (via Practically Functional)

4. Skeleton Hands Wreath: Need a hand? Head to the dollar store and stock up on skeleton hands to make this creepy wreath. Then spray them down with silver, black or your party theme colors. (via Tried and True)

5. Magnetic Spiders: These creepy-crawly guys look great on the door, but would also be a scary surprise for your guests if you place ’em all over your house for your Halloween party. (via Leigh Laurel Studios)

6. Bloodshot Eyeball Wreath: Obviously there is nothing scarier than a bulging, bloodshot eyeball. But secretly, we kind of love the extra bit of color the red gives this gory wreath. (via A Pretty Life)

7. Black Cat Wreath: For something more on the cute side, add some ears and pipe cleaner whiskers to a fur-wrapped foam wreath. Me-wow! (via Shaken Together Life)

8. Monster Door: Ready to turn your front door into a cute but “scary” monster? Just use two plates for the eyes and tape for the mouth and hang some streamers for hair. Rawr, indeed. (via Modern Day Moms)

9. Yarn-Wrapped Wreath: Give your door some Halloween flair with this easy project that’s perfect for a “crafternoon.” All that wrapping might take you a couple hours, so start putting together your Netflix queues with some frightening flicks. (via Happily Intended)

10. Spider Web: Create this crawly wreath with chopsticks, twine and lots of plastic spiders. Even though you know it’s plastic, it’ll still make your skin crawl. (via Go Make Me)

11. Skeleton: Take a little inspiration from The Nightmare Before Christmas’s Jack Skellington this Halloween. All you’ll need is a sheet and some black duct tape to get the look. (via Events to Celebrate)

12. All-Season Wreath: If you’ve only got time to make one wreath, this is the wreath to make. The grapevine and moss are the perfect backdrop for cobwebs and spiders for Halloween, and then you can switch it out for Thanksgiving and Christmas decor. (via Hello Natural)

13. Bat Swarm: Cut out a bunch of bats using felt or black paper and then tape them all over the front door and house. Cleanup is minimal, and the look at night is pretty amazing. (via Country Living)

14. Spider Wreath: This looks pretty sophisticated for a project that costs under $5, don’t you think? That bright pop of green showing behind the spider legs makes us shiver. (via Paper and Fox)

15. Pinecone Monster: Pinecones aren’t just for Christmas decor — especially when you paint them green and add some sharp teeth. Well, he has fangs, but this guy doesn’t look too terribly ferocious. (via Craftaholics Anonymous)

I have such a love/hate relationship with haircuts. While I love the feeling of a fresh look as much as the next girl, I hate having to spend $100+ for a simple cut and blow dry session. During my recent trim, I talked with my hairdresser, Jack Rehak of Jack’s Hair Design in Hinsdale, Illinois, about ways to keep a haircut looking new and best practices for keeping hair healthy. Here's what he had to say!

Here's How Often You Should Cut Your Hair, According To Professionals

Photo by cottonbro studio/PEXELS

I’ll admit it — it had been eight months since my last haircut. My hair had lost its shape, my layers were nowhere to be found, and my ends were begging for mercy. Life got busy over the last few months and I was neglecting my haircare like never before.

My hairdresser could immediately see that I was beyond due for a cut and said I needed to get more taken off than I was hoping. I was definitely disappointed — I'd been working on growing out my hair for a while now, and it just felt like my hard work had completely gone to waste. He explained that getting consistent haircuts is the key to growing out healthy and strong hair, rather than letting it grow and grow until it eventually breaks. So let's dig into the top three things you can do to avoid this scenario!

1. Just Get The Dang Haircut

Photo by RDNE Stock project/PEXELS

Also avoiding a haircut like I was? You might want to schedule one at your nearest salon. Like my stylist said, when you wait too long between trims like I did, you risk your hair becoming heavy, dull, and lifeless. When the hair is dry or even dead, it’s nearly impossible for it to hold a curl or style, essentially collapsing on you and taking on more and more heat damage all the while. I know the pain of spending time on a blowout only for it to fall minutes later — it’s the worst.

According to Jack, getting a haircut every 10-12 weeks is the best time frame or your ends will pay the price. Between blow-drying, curling, straightening, sun, and weather, our ends get dry and start to break without the proper care. Getting consistent haircuts allows hair to bounce back, shine, and perform the way we want in a healthy way.

2. Leave-In Conditioners Are Your Friend

Photo by cottonbro studio/PEXELS

His top piece of advice to keep your hair looking and feeling hydrated between trims? Invest in conditioning treatments. Jack swears by the Olaplex conditioning system, specifically the No 3 Hair Perfector. Made with patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™, this conditioning treatment repairs and prevents damage in as little as three minutes. No 3 promises to reduce breakage and visibly strengthen hair, so it’s the perfect assistance to keep ends fresh between cuts. Another conditioning treatments I’ve used and loved for years is the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask, which is designed to restore moisture, elasticity, and shine to dry hair.

3. Switch Up Your Shampoos

Photo by Karolina Grabowska/PEXELS

Switching shampoos frequently is a pretty hot tip that I honestly hadn't thought of. Our hair gets used to the same products and grows tired of them, resulting in lackluster locks. Jack’s advice is to switch brands after finishing every bottle of shampoo to bring life back to your hair. Have two brands that you’re loyal to? Even switching back and forth between them after every bottle should make a big difference in your hair. I’m a huge fan of the R+Co Dallas Biotin Thickening Shampoo, which makes my hair look thick and full, as well as the Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo, which is so hydrating and gives so much shine.

Photo by cottonbro studio/PEXELS

In the end, navigating your back-and-forth relationship with haircuts often feels like a rollercoaster ride between wanting that fresh look and cringing at the receipt. Luckily, by using conditioning treatments and switching up your products,, you can keep your locks healthy, shiny, and full of life between trims. But take a newly learned lesson out of my book: don't let your ends pay the price for procrastination and just book the haircut.
