About this look

Medusa curls are the wild, voluminous corkscrew curls styled with rubber snake accessories woven in for full Greek mythology costume effect. The look has been a Halloween costume staple for decades; the corkscrew curls themselves can stand on their own as a non-costume look.

They flatter oval and heart faces — the dramatic voluminous curls frame these shapes. Curly hair is the natural home; straight hair can fake the corkscrews with a 3/4-inch curling iron. Hair needs to be at least shoulder-length for the volume.

High maintenance for full costume — wild voluminous corkscrew curls (30-45 minutes setting), rubber snake accessories woven in (5-10 minutes pinning). The styling pairs with Greek goddess costume and dramatic makeup (often green or gold eye makeup). The non-snake corkscrew-curls version reads as theatrical hair without the costume specificity. Wild voluminous corkscrew curls, often with rubber snake accessories woven in.
