Water, earth, fire and air collide as fans count the days until the premiere of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” – the most anticipated live-action series to hit Netflix. After the Nickelodeon animated show, the new adaptation invites us to the world of elemental magic, where power is the most valuable asset. Only the Avatar, the master of all four elements, can restore balance and bring peace to the lands.

The World of the Avatar is home to four kingdoms with different customs, traditions and lifestyles. Their costumes and hairstyles are part of their national identity and mythology, artfully woven into the main storyline. While most details are being kept under wraps, the latest behind-the-scenes clip reveals traditional hairstyles we'll see on the show. Luckily, the creative team is sticking with the original saga and reintroducing some of the most iconic looks.

The Water Nation girls like Katara prefer long locks braided into effortless hairstyles. Living in the far north, where icy air and high winds can damage hair, braids prevent split ends and dryness. As a young waterbender, Katara practices her magic often, so she chooses something quick and easy to avoid getting her hair wet all the time.
