Thats right! Leia on the Moon of Endor. This bad bitch keeps her head safe and her hair sleek with a wreath of braids.
I also must give credit to Michelle Phan for making a tutorial of how to achieve this look.
But now for the real question: Does it actually hold up under a helmet? Here is my experience.
I braided my hair dry. I think a little damp, with a little product is preferable for maximum hold and texture. Here is the best I could get it to look, pre-ride. I'm obviously not as good a Ms. Phan, my hair is a bit shorter.
As an after-thought, this look would be really cute with dangling earrings! Then I mashed my Lazer Helmet down on my head. This helmet has a really snug fit.
Oh! And by the way, the weather was much like the Moon of Endor--raining cats and dogs!
I arrived at school/work sopping wet. Peeled of my rain outter gear and changed my shoes. I had my friend take this picture of me. I think my hair held up really well. This picture is before I fussed with it., I secured the fly-aways with some hairspray and tugged at the braids to restore some of the volume. I was payed a lot of compliments on my overall appearance.
This is after the commute home. Ready to change into evening clothes. I had some nice texture in my hair from the braids. Princess Leia did too! Just add some product, teast the crown to restore volume and voila!
