In the movie, Star Wars, we see Princess Leia don two different hairstyles: the ever popular cinnamon buns and her slave hair-do, a simple braided ponytail. While tying your hair in a simply pony tail is easy, doing the cinnamon buns perfectly for your Princess Leia costume might be a little challenging—if only there was an easier way to wear that hairstyle!
The origin of the doughnut hairdo actually comes from Queen Amidala’s home planet. Before becoming queen of Naboo, Queen Amidala has donned the popular hairstyle since it was customary for young women her age to do so; you will also find Sabe, her handmaiden, wear the same hairdo.
Princess Leia herself complained at the thought of having to do her hair every morning; and off-screen, it might have taken Carrie Fisher, the actress who plays Leia, at least two hours or more to work on her popular hairstyle. Just think of all the hard work her set designers must have gone through!
While the cinnamon buns might be a costume favorite, they don’t often turn out to be as perfect as the ones sported by Carrie Fisher on Star Wars. Pulling off the perfect Princess Leia hairstyle has been a big problem for women who are big fans of the spunky galactic princess, which is why these Princess Leia Headbands are sure to do the trick!
Made of synthetic hair and shaped into headphones, you will never have to worry about fixing your cinnamon buns or styling your hair and regardless of the length of your hair, pulling off a Princess Leia look is easier. This headband was carefully patterned after the original cinnamon bun hairstyle so your Princess Leia attire stays true to the movie adaptation. In half an hour, you could jump into your galactic suit, put these on and you’re all set for the party!
