So you’re super pumped to be the tough Katniss Everdeen for Halloween, but you don’t know how you’re gonna pull off her awesome braid? No worries, here are some step-by-step instructions for getting your ’do ready for the arena.

 

Check out these quick ‘n’ easy steps from top hair & makeup pros Erica Whelan and Kerrie Urban!

 

Step 1: Use a dollop of Pantene Beautiful Lengths Strengthen and Smooth Finishing Crème to add texture and smooth frizzies.
 

Pantene Beautiful Lengths Strengthen and Smooth Finishing Crème, drugstores or pantene.com

 

Step 2: Begin a Dutch braid on the left side of your head, directly above your ear. A Dutch braid is done in the same style as a French braid, but instead of pulling the pieces over, you pull them under. This allows the braid to look as if it’s sticking up off the scalp.

 

Step 3: As you begin adding hair into the braid, remember to move sideways along your head so the braid is moving toward the right side of your head.

 

Step 4: Continue this until you reach the nape of your neck. Once there, complete the side braid all the way down to the tip of your hair. Tie with an elastic and pull on the braid slightly to loosen the strands.

 

Step 5: Spray with Pantene Pro-V Stylers Touchable Hairspray and you’re done! You’ll be sure to win sponsors everywhere you go with this look. May the odds be ever in your favor!

I hardly have time to curl or do anything fancy with my hair in the morning (i have an hour and 20 minutes to get ready) but i dont want to always have my hair flat. any quick ideas that i can use to spice things up a bit? (also is their anyway i get my hair to look clean and healthy?)

 

Hey lilja, you could always wake up earlier to leave more time for doing your hair. Throwing a braid in the front of your hair, putting it in a messy bun, ponytail or plait would look cute. Stock up on hair accessories to give your hair a new look too. Getting a shampoo for dry hair will give your hair a shiny look. I sometimes use a finishing hair spray after I'm done styling my hair. Hope this helps! Xoxo
