Zelda's Classic Green Locks
Zelda's signature green hair is instantly recognizable. Achieve this look with a mix of green hair chalk and a wig, or embrace the color permanently with a professional dye job.
Materials Needed:
- Green hair chalk or hair dye
- Wig head or mannequin (optional)
- Comb
- Hair clips
- Hair straightener (optional)
Steps:
- If using hair chalk, start with dry hair. Apply the chalk to your hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths for a more natural look. Use a comb to distribute the color evenly.
- For a more vibrant and long-lasting color, consider using hair dye. Consult a professional stylist for the best results.
- Style your hair as desired. Zelda typically rocks long, straight locks. Use a hair straightener if needed.
- Secure your hair with clips or a headband, and you're ready to save Hyrule in style!
Midna's Bold Braids
Midna's unique braided hairstyle is a fun and easy look to achieve. Here's how to get her signature style:
Materials Needed:
- Comb
- Hair elastics
- Bobby pins (optional)
Steps:
- Start with clean, detangled hair. Part your hair down the middle and secure each side with an elastic.
- Take one section of hair and divide it into three equal parts. Braid the section and secure it with an elastic at the end.
- Repeat the process on the other side, ensuring both braids are the same size and shape.
- To create Midna's signature look, wrap one braid around the back of your head and secure it with bobby pins. Do the same with the other braid, tucking the ends underneath.
- Gently tug at the braids to loosen them and create a fuller look. Adjust as needed, and you're ready to take on the Twili realm!
