on the hair of the career pack girls:
absolutely obsessed with the fact that our career girls have long hair, Cashmere and her curls, Clove with her bubble braids, Silka's long blonde hair, Glimmer with her blonde hair and fishtails, even Enobaria has long hair (we could even talk about Annie who also has long hair, but I don’t mention her as much because we don’t know what her hair looked like during her games)
While short hair seems like it'll be more practical, I'm obsessed with our girls having long hair for a few reasons.
I think the fact that their girls have long hair does a great job at reflecting their district's focus in the games. They have such a heavy focus on being desirable and getting sponsors, that it suits their girls.
That's not to say short hair isn't desirable, but there's a very heavy focus on classic almost grecian beauty for the district one girlies and that means luscious long hair
plus it's iconic that we see all three of our district one tribute with the matching gorgeous blonde flowing hair, 10 out of 10
Now they're a lot more practical in many aspects, so l could definitely see more of their female tributes having short hair, but I love that both Clove and Baria have long hair, because, BRAIDS!!!
Braiding your hair as an athlete is the absolute best way to lock in, it's precise, it's rhythmic, and a good braid leaves you feeling so put together and powerful, it's exactly the type of thing someone like Clove or Enobaria would love for training
And to make one last point, I absolutely adore that they put Clove in bubble braids in the movies. If you're a girl who distance runs, you probably know something that most people don't realize, and that's that bubble braids are the absolute best long run hairstyle. Braids definitely feel the most secure -that's why I race in braids- but anything 8+ miles will just tangle your braids and leave you with actual knots. Shockingly bubble braids are the best thing for keeping your hair tangle free, and so they're absolutely perfect for Clove, who l strongly head-canon as a distance runner, especially for her games
shout out to my workout bubble braids for inspiring this rant 💗
(yes I know a lot of these details are only confirmed in the movies but it’s still movie canon so I love it)
