My father to my mother about me trying to do this after 30 min: She is still braiding because the empire keeps striking back ;) But finally I got it. Now, after I did it the third time, it looks amazing and took me about twenty minutes. I love this :)

Why did I cut my hair RIGHT BEFORE seeing Star Wars and falling in love with Leia and her LONG hair and hairstyles...

This definitely took 6 tries to get it looking presentable, haha. My biggest problem was keeping the part in the back close to the nape of my neck, surprisingly. The first 5 times I did it by starting it by my left ear, but then I switched to starting on my right ear on the 6th time and it made a world of difference. Perhaps because I'm right-handed? Who knows. But thank you for this tutorial! You're my favorite hairstyling channel. Clear instruction, easy to follow, and to-the-point (no rambling or extra talk). :))

Hey I just wanted to say thank-you for making these awesome tutorials! I was never a "girly-girl" and so I skipped the whole "hair ability" phase--thanks for teaching me such great, nerdy styles!! I always recommend you to people who ask me how I started styling it. Keep up the great work!!

I absolutely suck at doing braids when I have to add more hair as I go :/ but I will keep practicing because I really love this hairstyle!

MY ARMS ARE GONNA FALL OFF!!

You look just like Sophie Turner who plays Sansa Stark in Game Of Thrones. Honestly the resemblance is stunning.

I managed to be able to do it with my hair--and it's not yet shoulder-length! This made me so happy!

This is absolutely adorable!! Thanks for solving my wig-or-no-wig-at-comic-con dilemma!

+Silvousplaits You are amazing. You make this look so easy. I have such a hard time Dutch lace braiding, even though I watched your tutorials numerous times and practiced and practiced. This simply means you've got talent!

OMG I can't believe I just did this. It took me a bazillion times stretched out over months. I'm usually really good at braiding but braiding upwards for some reason never really worked. But right now, for the first time, I have a (somewhat sticky-looking, imperfect, but working) crown braid. And I did it with electrical first-day-hair too. Thanks so much for your tutorials, you are a huge inspiration for my hairstyling! I did one of the cersei styles you taught me for my best friend's wedding and I will be wearing either this crown braid or the Cloud City-Leia-Hairstyle when I get to watch the new Star Wars movie in two weeks. Lots of time to perfect either one now that I finally got the hang of it :)

You make the Dutch braid look so easy!! I always struggle and it always ends up looking like a hot mess XD but In the film Carrie just had two long braids wrapped around her head :) x

OH-MY-GOD! I've been looking for this tutorial for years! I really really love you now ♥ I'm subscribing right now!

Thank you, it was so much fun, I managed to do it for the second try, I'll shine this braid at tomorrow's premiere ^

I like this. I got my hair cut and have been trying for months to grow it out so that I could try to do leia's hair styles. This could really help me do it sooner.

Leia’s empire strikes back hairstyle will always be my favorite

Oh my god, I did it!! From the first try! Thank you so much, I can't believe it worked so well 😄

Best and easiest crown braid tutorial ever! It actually worked when I did it... although wet hair doesn’t work for me

I wear this all the time now! Thanks.

Renaissance faire blessings, huzzahs and cheers for you! Thank you so much for making this superb video!

I have been wondering how to get this look did a while so excited to give it a go x

Amazing tutorial! I've been wanting to make this hairstyle for a long time, and this one is simple enough for even a rookie like me to understand and attempt :-) I don't know how to make dutch braid yet, but in my first attempt I cheated with a kind of french braid to check if I could follow through, and I can, so now only thing I need is to learn dutch braid :-D luckily I'm a speed learner :-P

my hair is too frickin long for this hairstyle to do it alone , my arms are killing me now haha

i'll need my hair to grow out first for all those star wars looks they all have so freaking long hair :O

This is so good!

By the way, I really like the music accompaniments in your videos.

This is an interesting tehnique, I'll deffinitely try it out!

You are just loving the Leia styles right now, aren't you? :P Beautiful as always!!

I love your hairstyles!

Still practicing this one....still have a hard time getting the braid on the side of the head to get on straight. Much easier to start at the top of the head, but looks much better the way you do it (b/c you get that nice fat braid on the top of the head instead of the skinny starter one). I will get there someday!

life makes sense now... thank you Friend!! also I vote we figure out costumes for next year

I've always wanted Leia's hair as a kid.

I wish I was as good at braiding as you!

Another great one. I just love your tutorials. May be try one of Padme's hair from Attack of the Clones or The Revange of Sith.

My one goal in life rn is to someday be able to do this.

Uggg. I've been working at this for an hour. I'm having trouble when I get to my right ear.

Could you show how to create the style of Amanda Seyfried in 'Les Misérable' when she wore a side braid with a little laice in it? :) It looked so beautiful !

Excuse me for my english because I speak french! Il love your video's, you are cool! Can you do the hair tutorial of Leia on Endor? (with the ewoks, no with the speeder bikes) I don't know how I most do that!! Thank you very much for your answer! May the Force be with you!!! Fanny

Thank you yess

I had that hairstyle for my Grade 6 graduation but alas it’s only one braid!!!! I had middle hair that time and I saw from the film she (Princess Leia) has two!

I always have trouble going back up the other side- I usually still have a lot of hair left, and it’s hard to add hair while it hangs over the braid.

could you maybe do Padmè's Mustafar hairstyle?

What is the title of the Kevin MacLeod music playing in the background? I really like it.

Beautiful! Any tips on braiding upside down? (like at the 2:00 mark)

hey so i love love this and want to do it for halloween, but my hair isnt that long. I'm not a good braider in general.. i can only do a regular unfortunately but i have like 2 in past shoulder length hair. should be a little longer by then. i noticed you had some extra braid that you wrapped once, but your hair is much longer than mine. any tips to make it work?

Can you do this with a rope braid, like lacing it in? For example where you see on "The Borgias"?

Have I already said that I love you? :D I have only one question: what's the name of the music?

Your braid looks amazing! But honestly, it's too complicated for a "beginner". I did an easier way to do the Hoth Leia hairstyle. I just braided two normal plaits near to my neck and then put them over my head, they crossed about on top of it. I used bobby pins to hide the end of the braids underneath. Your hairstyle looks more like the original Leia hair, but I just can't do that complicated french plait behind my head XD.

Ypu should watch "Gran hotel" (spanish tv series) with english subtitles and show some of the hairstyles, they should be difficult :D

Is this hair style possible for long hair?

Kind of like King Leonidas' hair from 300.

ughhhhhhhh i cant get the hang of flipping it around the head properly, especially on the top. it either looks incredibly messy or it is a french braid

You*

once again I proved to myself that I have zero talent for this 😅

isn't it bad for your hair's health to use bobbypins while it's wet? as they're made of metal...

harder than it looks tbh

This is a Crown Braid ;3

Im a guy watching this sexy hair style tutorial!

Uggg. I've been working at this for an hour. I'm having trouble when I get to my right ear.
