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 have a short haircut that reaches my chin on one side, and is cut around my ear like a pixie on the other side, and is short in the back. Everyone loves it...except my mom! She hates it! And now, I want to get it cut even shorter in a pixie style... everybody says that I'll looks really good in it,and I think so too, but my mom freaked out when I tried to bring it up. How can I get the haircut I want without hurting my mom's feelings?

 

hey! The tough truth of being a kid is that you can't get your parental units to do anything. You can however, try to open a dialogue with her about your feelings. Explain your side to her in a non-whiney, calm manner. Don't interrupt her or get angry even if she interrupts you or gets angry. That's unfair, but since she has all the power, it's in your best interest not to antagonize her. As in, you'll be more likely to get what you want if you act really, super mature. If she still says no, accept her decision gracefully. If she sees that you're not going to throw a fit for not getting your way, she'll be more likely to listen next time you want something. good luck!

My hair is a bit too short to do this properly, and a bunch of hairs stick out. My hair is an inch below shoulder length. I'm going as Katniss for Halloween, what should I do for my hair???

Hey girl,

I would try to get a wig or clip in extensions from a party or Halloween store--they have tons of options and they are really easy to use! Have a fun Halloween Smile
