You know you wanted me to do this. Secretly, (or not secretly) you have always wanted to try this. Who doesn’t love Princess Leia’s cinnamon roll buns? This is a classic hairstyle that deserves a seat with all the classic hairstyles in the hall of great hair fame.
This is a hairstyle not only for a special event (Star Wars themed wedding, anyone?) but for any old day when you are bored at home with a couple of sheets ( One of them a Star Wars sheet) and some bobby pins.
Happy #DIYhair Friday, everyone. I hope you have a great weekend. If you are at a loss about what to do, call your friends over for a Star Wars dress up party where you can whip this hairstyle out and channel Princess Leia Organa of Aldaraan.
Here is how to do it.
1. Start with a center part from the front hairline down the back of the head. Begin a twist from the back of the head on one side.
2. Continue the twist till you get just above the temple.
3. Twist the free end all the way to the ends, and begin to wind the ends backwards into a bun just above the ear.
4. Twist ends into the bun, and pin it from 2 or 3 points around the bun to secure it.
5. Repeat on the other side!
And now, a quote.
““To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. ‘Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.’ How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions?”
