Miranda Tate inspired hair

Hello again my lovelies! I just went to see the new Batman movie last night, and was completely amazed at how wonderful it was! For those of you that haven't seen it, I suggest it just for the huge amount of special effects that were used so well! I especially liked the hairstyles that Miranda Tate and Selina (Catwoman) had. Today's hairstyle is inspired by Miranda Tate's braid that she wore in the end of the movie. 

To achieve this look all you need is a comb and a few hair elastics.  First thing that you need to do is the same as always, and comb out your hair to remove any tangles. Once smooth you are going to take your comb and brush it all straight back from your face. If you want to go closer to the actual hairstyle from the movie you will do a deep part in the front of your hair. If you have bangs you will utilize them by using them as the only thing that is parted, otherwise part deeply and take it about two inches back and then pull the rest of your hair straight back.

However, today I just pulled it all back. Then separate out hair straight back from your temples that are about 1 inch thick and place in a hair elastic in the back of your head.  Then you are going to make a small hole right above the hair tie and flip the hair in the pony tail through the hole. Then you are going to take the hair and gather it all together, then separate into three pieces and braid down about 2/3 of the way. Tie off the hair and leave the end loose. Pull loose strands out from braid around your face to soften the look for everyday wear.
