Get the look of 'Hunger Games' braids for cool summer hairstyle

Love the flowing, loosely braided tresses in "The Hunger Games" but prefer to skip the post-apocalyptic drama? We thought so. That's why we asked Master Stylist Ruben González of Thomas Saverio Salon and Spa in Northwest Austin to show us how we can channel our inner Katniss Everdeen.
"It's been the trendiest look that's come out of a film in a long time," González says. With sequels on the way and websites such as Pinterest and YouTube heating up with "Hunger Games"-inspired looks, González says stylish braids are a look that we'll be seeing for a while.
He assures us that if we've ever made a simple braid, we've already got the basic tools to create these hairstyles at home. Luckily for beginners, looser braids also mean looser rules. "There's no wrong way to do braiding," González says. "And remember that it doesn't have to be perfect; sometimes the messier the better."
So, with González's help, here's a mini-tutorial to help achieve three fun summer styles at home. Get All the hairstyles and how to do them Here!
