taking back princess Leia buns

[Elainehali]

Has anyone else wished they could wear double buns like princess Leia and not hear Starwars references all day?

I wish the double bun wasn't her signature style so I could wear it! Any ideas how we could make this style different?

Or Do any of you want to wear your hair like Leia for a day and count Starwars remarks?

Other than a Leia costume I wore in the fifth grade, I have never worn Leia buns. I fear they make my face look too wide. I might use that modified sock bun technique one day just to see how it looks, though.

Do you just mean double buns over the ears? Because I wear double buns all the time and never hear a Star Wars comment. I just wear them in the back, either high or low.

I wore double sock buns on Saturday and no one said a thing about Leia except for me. I just got one "that's really cool and must have been super difficult".

But the two sparkly butterfly clips and the huge dangly kanzashi might have been a bit distracting.

I too wear double buns all the time, in variations:
1) in double figure-8
2) double braided bun
3) make two dutch braids and then make 2 double buns out of it.
4) double cinnamon bun.
All are done are the back of the head, not covering the ears. These are very comfortable.

I find them extremely comfortable because they don't pull the way a heavy bun can. The weight is better distributed.

I only think of Leia when they cover the ears.

I've found any kind of braided, loopy,buns just out of the ordinary style gets Leia comments, but I quite like that so I don't mind one bit! I'm the same size with a not too dissimilar face, so I've got no chance.

I wear double buns sometimes, placed in the back. I usually only get "the comment" once from DH.

I used to love wearing this hairstyle as a kid. . .and then StarWars happened! I love this hair style. It's easy and pretty and very comfortable.

I tried changing it up but ended up looking like a had a couple of braided cell-phones on either side of my head. *snark*

I still like the style and definitely think you should take it back! Maybe just wear then pushed back, towards the back a little more. . .instead of covering your ears?

Being a huge Star Wars fan... the comments really don't bother me.
