Great braid. I love the hunger games series so much. For anyone who keeps wondering, Jennifer Lawrence's braid was her own hair in the hunger games and catching fire but due to her pixie cut she had to wear a wig in the mockingjay movies. Thanks so much for all your cute hairstyles Mindy!
This was an amazing video. I would've never thought of adding in texture! Please do more Hunger Games Hairstyles, they are perfect for all the fans and get a lot of compliments at school!
It really was a great experience! Linda was super nice, and she has the cutest dog, too! {You can hear him shake his collar at the end of her message!}
Wow! Your tutorial was awesome! Thank you for helping me make my daughter happy with an authentic looking braid. I don't have a top styler so I sectioned off the top, sprayed it damp, and twisted it into little buns to dry overnight. The effect was almost identical. Thank you so much!
You are absolutely welcome! Yes, when I filmed my first video of the Katniss braid... I was working off of an obscure photo I found online that Lionsgate had leaked. Having Linda help clarify exactly what she did on the hairstyle was awesome! I can't thank her enough!
love this video....but hehe playing in the arena and running through the woods....to save her life! but hehe love this style and video and incredible that you contacted the hairstylist!!! exciting!!
I did this in my hair for school and got loads of comments! Thanks Mindy for taking the time to post videos. You have inspired me and my friend and now we want to be hair stylists when we are older. Thanks and I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL xx
I watched this tutorial once, tried it and it looks amazing. This is how my hair looked on the first day of school. Great tutorial! SO many compliments.! (:
Laura Nelson lol wtf. Do you see the title? HAIRSTYLES. As in HAIR, not clothes. Go look for an entire look inspired by Katniss if you want, but you aint finding it over here.
I'm now infatuated with the top styler! It seems so awesome. I love the little clam-looking clamps!! Thank you for this tutorial...HUGE Hunger Games fan!
***** yeah but they were literally called the hunger GAMES and in the movie president snow even says "play" also does it even matter? Its a HAIR tutorial not a lecture about the right way to speak about the hunger games
I'm wearing this hairstyle almost everyday :) My friend told me that I look like Katniss :D :D :D I am feeling so happy cuz' my hair looks exactly the same like hers...the same color...waves :3 Sorry for my english guys XD :D
Yummy Cupcakes it might be easier to do if you do a french braid on someone else, then strait down the back of your head (not from side to side like in this video), then just keep practicing until you've mastered the Authentic Katniss braid!
It kinda annoyed me when she said "playing in the arena". She is literally fighting to the death and she said katniss is playing in the arena like a 2 year old
She is not LITERALLY fighting to death. What you see on tv is not usually true. They are actors in a studio with green screens, and so the same way a football player would play in an arena, she is playing pretend while being filmed in an "arena". Playing isn't just reserved as a term for children, it is used to describe playing sports, playing instruments, etc.
+Hello Kitten I am pretty sure both of us know that...she is talking about the actual movie. And plus what you said is totally irrelevant. Directors would never actual let actors fight to the death😁
Excellent tutorial. Instead of using the TopStyler, I braided the top layer of my hair while it was still slightly wet and let it dry. Gave it a nice wave.
And I love this hair style since my hair is actually really curly I find that this braid is best done on "next day curls" (styled with moose in the morning and slept on) and I just grab from a spot I like and just braid! And this is totally awesome that its a Dutch braid because I taught myself how to braid by watching but I braid backwards so when I thought I was teaching myself how to French braid, I was really Dutch braiding! So this really just comes naturally to me!
U did a gr8 job recreating Linda Flower's Katniss braid. She's awesome to be featured in this video. Thanx for not only this tutorial, but also give Linda's explanation on the rationale for Y she braided the hair on the nape of her neck. What a cute model. After U finished her hair, this girl looks like she can kick ass in the arena.
People always always have to wear make up when on camera, regardless of age, even males have to. On camera your skin looks pasty and pale without makeup because of the lighting levels. Same for the stage - you wouldn't believe what heavy makeup we must wear because of all the stage lights, and to you in the audience it probably looks like normal makeup, but trust me, it's really thick and heavy!! Have you ever seen in the magazines those stories about "celebrities without makeup" and they take photos, and the celebs don't look as good? Well, that's because they weren't wearing makeup ad they need to for the camera. If you saw them in person without the makeup, they would look good, just like any ordinary woman who doesn't wear makeup who is walking down the street. Mindy's daughter is quite lovely, she's very lucky because she's naturally gorgeous already, and then her talented mother does all these amazing hairstyles... I hope she wears them to school or out. She must be the envy of every girl in her school, and they must all want to come over so Mindy can do their hair!! :p
dmf1301 I do know that performers have to wear makeup on stage but putting on makeup for a camera? Also, the celebrities look bad in the pictures because makeup can and will destroy your face if you wear It everyday and don't take it off when you're going to bed or don't take care of your skin when it's off. I'm not trying to be rude but I don't believe that celebrities look bad in those pictures just because they're not wearing specific makeup for the camera and I doubt they'd look any better in person. However, most of those pictures are taken a blur or from a bad side shot, in that case maybe it's the photographers fault.
Alice In Wonderland I don't intend to be rude, either, but your information is definitely wrong. I've studied acting, both for film and for the stage at a professional acting school. Believe me, on certain cameras you definitely need makeup. And you're right that if you don't look after your skin then it goes bad from using the makeup, but I'd say there's a good chance that most celebrities KNOW that, and DO look after their skin. Just like ordinary women who wear makeup every day... my mother is in her 60s and has the skin of a woman in her 20s, because she wears makeup every day and has done for years, but she also has taken good care of her skin every day for the same amount of years. She does not have one single wrinkle, she looks fantastic!! Same with those 50+ celebrities who've had a long career, worn makeup every day and looked after their skin every day as well. Anyways, regardless of our different opinions about wearing makeup on camera or not, Mindy's daughter is still allowed to wear some makeup if she wants to, and doesn't deserve to be criticized.
Oh my god! Thank you! I've been looking for the correct way to do this braid for so long. I knew it wasn't done like most people think it's done because it just looked like there was something more to it. And thanks to you, I finally know how to do it, thank you a million times! You have no idea how happy I am :D
we have a world book day dress up thing and we have to dress up as our favourite book character for school and me and one of my friends are going as katniss and i'm using this for it. Thanks for posting it!
Used this at catching fire and I love it for when my hair gets oily or too curly cause my hair is short and wavy sometimes you have to put it up and I love to do it like that then at the end a flower bun thanks for showing me the cutest hairstyles
hey this is great for hair fans and the hunger games fans out there! and it ends up being really pretty and beautiful especially for people that can take a risk to try this cute girl hairstyle:)))
OH!!! Linda flowers reminds me of edna from the incredibles!
Same!! 😝
Oh god i thought i was the only one lol!!

Omg yes!
gkmancera OMG SAME!! :O

Hunger games is da bomb
Lol
Ikr da bomb
.com ;) 😂
yes in agree best series ever
not to be mean or anything but the hairstylist for Hunger Games called it Hunger Games 2 or the second Hunger games. It's called Catching Fire
Nice! Can you do a video on Hermione Granger's yule ball updo?
This would be cool. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan
Im not
when she says "jennifer" she means jennifer lawrence (katniss).
and you do not play in the arena, you kill people.
lol
This was exactly my response when I heard her say that. I was like, I know this girl did not just say "Play in the arena." No ma'am.
It’s just a movie. Do you expect her to do her research and watch all of the movies before doing the hairstyle?
For the Capitol is this a Play :P
I've been to catching fire and it was unbelievable! I'd tried this and i'd got a lot really a lot of compliments thank you!!
PLAYing in the arena.
wow.
(clap clap)
LOL! Im a mind reader! xD
+Neon Hearts I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT
+Jenine Alsouqi HAHA KOOL!!! :3
I don't get dis,
Why she grab a kid and PAINFULLY twist hair???
I is no understand when I brush my hair IT FREAKING HURTS.
>:3
+Neon Hearts she was trying to do a hairstyle geez you sound like she is trying to murder her
Edna darling
Wow that top styler really does give some great texture!
Interesting way to do the braid:)
I've always worn my hair like this and seeing it now done all over the net is so funny:d
That's awesome that Linda took the time to talk and teach you to do this!! Makes me love The Hunger Games that much more!

Thank you for this, need it for Halloween
THEIR EYES O.o

I did this in my hair for school and got loads of comments! Thanks Mindy for taking the time to post videos. You have inspired me and my friend and now we want to be hair stylists when we are older. Thanks and I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL xx
Did the hair stylist of the Hunger Games just say "the second Hunger Games"?! UGH! I hate it when that freakin happens!!!!
Potter Fan me TOO!!
+Potter Fan yep i hate it
+Potter Fan SAME!!
+Potter Fan Why is that?
Izabella Wilas Because it's called Catching Fire not Hunger Games 2!!
I watched this tutorial once, tried it and it looks amazing. This is how my hair looked on the first day of school. Great tutorial! SO many compliments.! (:
Can you make a guide for guys who like the Katniss style?

Lilith Rae I meant, the jacket and stuff. She's my hero.

That girl is so lucky to have a mom like that who's into doing hair! So pretty!
Nooo my hair is too short for this hairstyle QQ
So unfair...
But i still love it
I love Katniss... Thanks for doing this braid i love it!
If you have curly hair you don't need to do that in styler
I always wondered how they did the texturing and tried and tried to recreate it but I never new how it was done. thank you so much :)
Cute Girl Hairstyles will you guys be doing some hairstyles from Mockingjay Part 1?
Katniss is awesome!
And i like the hair!
Did she say PLAYING in the arena???!!!!! Yeah, because killing children is playing.
It's the hunger GAMES. When they're games, you play. Therefore, you are playing in the arena.
pancha panchita Well in this case, playing in the arena is killing your enemies in the arena so, yeah....
Madi Smith its not even a big deal like the vid was for the HAIR not the speech!
i agree with you, she wasn't "playing" she was trying to survive
***** yeah but they were literally called the hunger GAMES and in the movie president snow even says "play" also does it even matter? Its a HAIR tutorial not a lecture about the right way to speak about the hunger games
I looooove this because I'm probably the biggest hunger games fan ever!
I HAVE READ ALL THE BOOKS AND I WILL USE THIS TUTORIAL FOR BOOK DAY WHEN I DRESS UP AS KATNISS?
Why the question mark
+Alyssa Nicole lol😂
i really love this hairstyle. cant wait to do it on my own hair. thanks!!
One does not PLAY in the arena.
This is sooo freaking cool, I love Scar Jo & Jennifer Lawerence !
I'm wearing this hairstyle almost everyday :) My friend told me that I look like Katniss :D :D :D I am feeling so happy cuz' my hair looks exactly the same like hers...the same color...waves :3 Sorry for my english guys XD :D
do you do it on yourself? i try and its hard to do on my self!
Yummy Cupcakes Yes, I do :) But yeah..It's really hard :D
;)
Yummy Cupcakes it might be easier to do if you do a french braid on someone else, then strait down the back of your head (not from side to side like in this video), then just keep practicing until you've mastered the Authentic Katniss braid!
Same
loved the movie and katniss' hair!! if i ever happen to get the top styler i will defo try this!!!
I cringed when she said playing in the arena lol
You make beautiful hairstyles and I really appreciate it. Thanks
Lol you do not "play" in the arena..
Well, it's the hunger GAMES
Do u call that playing?
BeautyByEmma505
haha just what I thought
You are the queen of hairstyles
Reminds me of Edna from The Incredibles
Thank you for doing this tutorial!! I have been searching and searching for the actual braid technique worn by Jennifer Lawerence!!
It kinda annoyed me when she said "playing in the arena". She is literally fighting to the death and she said katniss is playing in the arena like a 2 year old
She is not LITERALLY fighting to death. What you see on tv is not usually true. They are actors in a studio with green screens, and so the same way a football player would play in an arena, she is playing pretend while being filmed in an "arena". Playing isn't just reserved as a term for children, it is used to describe playing sports, playing instruments, etc.
She never said the actual words, "playing like a two year old" chill fam
+phyllis boadu but when you say "playing", what do you think of. It's the term. It is supposed to be realistic as she does fight to the death.
+Hello Kitten I am pretty sure both of us know that...she is talking about the actual movie. And plus what you said is totally irrelevant. Directors would never actual let actors fight to the death😁
This was Awesome!!!! My daughter was Katniss this year for Halloween and this tutorial was so helpful . It turned out great!!
Her eyes are like your staring into a dark void
Excellent tutorial. Instead of using the TopStyler, I braided the top layer of my hair while it was still slightly wet and let it dry. Gave it a nice wave.
Does linda flowers remind anyone one else of the short dark- haired woman from the incredibles?
I really love their eyes.Its very awesome!
Thumbs up if you're doing this tomorrow XP
already did yea
5 years late but yeah, doing it tomorrow.
Thank you I finally got the Katniss braid today after watching a million videos
Yes playing in the Ariana not murdering people...........
Cute Girls Hairstyles I did this braid today for my dance rehearsal and everyone loved it :D thank you so much for posting these videos
Kamari looks a lot like prim
That's why they used her for the prim hairstyles
She looks nothing like prim
I love ❤️ hunger games I'm obsessed it's my favorite !!!!
Does anyone else notice that lady's eyes were all black???
And I love this hair style since my hair is actually really curly I find that this braid is best done on "next day curls" (styled with moose in the morning and slept on) and I just grab from a spot I like and just braid! And this is totally awesome that its a Dutch braid because I taught myself how to braid by watching but I braid backwards so when I thought I was teaching myself how to French braid, I was really Dutch braiding! So this really just comes naturally to me!
I cringed when she said hunger games 2
Thanku for sharing this, so easy to understand!! I have looked at many tutorials and this one by far is the best!!
6 minutes are all just showing how to curl the hair... Not what I came for.

o.o why is your daughter wearing makeup at that age.. o.O
She probably 13 which to me doesn't seem to young but totally your opinion
She looked younger
