We here at CGH are totally excited that the first movie in The Hunger Games series comes out this weekend! In fact, it is about all that my twins are talking about! They are dying to see the movie!
We recently posted our Katniss Everdeen Braid, which is gaining lots of traction on YouTube, and yesterday we filmed two additional Hunger Games Hairstyles!
This one is the braided hairstyle wore by Katniss’ younger sister in the District 12 scene, which uses the French braiding technique. {We scoured the internet for shots of her wearing the style and can confirm that they are French braids, and not Dutch braids.}
These differ than your standard Double French Braids as they run much closer to the hairline and actually “cup and hug” the ears so that the braids naturally want to hang over the shoulders.
We show you exactly how to get that unique braided look in the hairstyle tutorial below…
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 2 clear elastic bands, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Our hope is that all of you who are going to see the movie this weekend will want to wear one of these hairstyles to the theater! Be sure to share this link with your friends so that they will do the same! Let’s see how many Hunger Games hairstyles we can get to the theaters!
The Hunger Games promises to be a successful movie franchise, so there will be many more fun hairstyles to come! {It will be nice to actually see the movie, since so much has been left to secret photos and guesswork!}
Happy Hairdoing!
