Star Wars inspired braided buns
Taking inspiration from Star Wars character Princess Leia’s iconic hairstyle, we have the modern, mini side buns. Notice the difference? Unlike Princess Leia’s huge low side buns, this one is a downsized and braided version tied higher up. All you have to do is twist your side braids into a bun and just bobby pin into place. Voila! You’re done. This look is ultra sleek and would go well with casual jeans outfit, a pretty dress or even formal attire.
