My first attempt at redoing the "Star Puffs"Okay, "Star Puffs" is a goofy name for this hairstyle, but I hate calling it "cinnamon buns" and I can't think of a better name, so....This is my first semi-successful attempt to re-do Leia's hair. My most excellent husband suggested looking for some kind of washer at a home improvement store, and off we went (probably the only time I have ever willingly entered one of those stores--I mean, hey, they don't stock toys, so why go?). I purchased a package of 4 Hillman 11/8 x .54 x 1/8 nylon Flat Washers. They worked pretty well, all in all! Check it out...

Not *too* shabby, eh?
Here is the front view. The main problems are: 1) you can still see the elastics I used to secure the puffs, and 2) there is lots of hair sticking up every which way under the elastic. |
Side view
Here's a side view, you can see that the puffs are farther back on her head than I would like, I think they need to be thicker. |
Other side view
The other side. Conclusions: I think I will buy another pack of these washers, and try using all 4 on each side. I don't think the puffs are quite thick enough. Otherwise, I was pleased with the results, especially considering I had no prior experience restoring this hairdo! |
