Hairstyle tutorial:Katniss Everdeen's braid in Hunger Games

1. We start by making a parting in the middle and we texturize the hair if it is very fine. This will result in a more "messy" result that is easier to wear. On the contrary, if you want something very clean, skip this step!

2. On one side of the middle parting, we take three strands and start a reverse African braid:instead of passing the strands of hair over each other, we pass them under. This allows you to make a braid in volume.

3. We add to the three strands a lock of hair each time. For the locks above, we twist them by integrating them into the braid to reinforce the separation. It works especially well on blonde hair with a balayage.

4. We continue the inverted braid until we reach the other side of the neck and we finish with a classic braid on the opposite side.

5. Tie with an invisible elastic and you can pull out a few strands, loosen the braid a little to make it look like it's "lived"! We take our bow, our arrows, and we go to face the Capitol!
