This makes total sense and is in line with the book, in which she talks about re-braiding her hair in the arena. And of course she would braid it the same way she always had at home.
I decided I'd rather avoid the heavy crowds and lines and see it a very days late. But on to more important matters. The Katniss braid. Her braid is actually a fairly simple Dutch Braid, the upside down French braid, continued down into a side braid.
Katniss is first described in The Hunger Games as a thin young woman with dark hair, olive-toned skin, and gray eyes. In the first book, she is 16 years old. She is unremarkable in District 12, and some make fun of her for being scrawny and underfed.
The braids are symbolic. For instance, when she arrives at the Capitol she has a HUGE braid. It's a sign of revolt." Of course! The character's little sister, Prim's, are intended to show "continuity and unity between she and her sister" Linda added.
Head hair designer Linda Flowers spent $30,000 on Katniss's lace-front wigs. Although Jennifer did dye her natural blonde hair for the first two film installments, she wore wigs for Mockingjay — Part 1 and Part 2 due to hair damage.
The natural blonde had to wear a brunette wig in the final two installments of the franchise due to hair damage after dying her tresses for the first two films.
Katniss is tough, independent, resourceful, fiery, and skilled with a bow and arrow, and yet she also has a compassionate side and deep loyalty to those she loves.
How she's described in the books: "Straight black hair" in a braid, "olive skin," "gray eyes," and "thin." Her hair, skin, and eye color are all shared by people from the Seam, the poor, coal-mining part of District 12.
Katniss wore a mockingjay pin throughout the Hunger Games and used the birds to communicate with Rue. Consequently, the mockingjay has come to be associated with her.
When Gale is most in pain is when Katniss kisses him, and this is true again as we see her answer Gale's pain with a kiss. She wants to give Gale what he wants, but she can't yet completely commit to him, as she must think of her family and Peeta and being the Mockingjay for the revolution.
Katniss is rendered deaf in one ear after she blows up the Careers' supplies, and she doesn't regain any hearing on her left side until afterwards when the Capitol gives her a hearing aid.
Katniss made the choice to build her future with Peeta. If she didn't love him, she wouldn't have made that choice. Katniss made her whole world about getting the people she cared about to the next day, her choice to survive with Peeta proves her love for him.
Character List and Analysis Gale Hawthorne. Gale, Katniss' 18-year-old hunting partner, is well-liked by many girls in the District 12. When he first meets Katniss in the woods, he believes that her name is Catnip, and so this becomes his permanent nickname for her.
The Hunger Games uses it as a symbol of defiance against the Capitol, adopted not only by Katniss but by members of the oppressed Districts who come to see her as their champion. The people in her home of District 12 use it as a long-standing gesture of respect, thanks, or good-bye.
Later, the two learn President Snow considered their actions to be an act of rebellion against the Capitol. After their last interview, in which the two continue to affect their romantic feelings for one another, Peeta comes to the realization Katniss has staged her love for him all along.
Kudos to the stunt head. Jena Malone is no stranger to extreme hairstyles, but she'll let you in on a secret: That's actually a stranger's shaved head, not hers, that you're seeing in the new "Hunger Games" flick.
Katniss here's this and understands that even though she may not love Peeta (then) that it's one less person who has to die. (At least that's what I have always thought.) Katniss realizes that if she pretends to be in love with Peeta people will want the capitol to let them survive.
