Leia Organa + hair appreciation
One part of making her a lady was to learn how a princess dresses up and does her hair. According to Alderaanian customs, Leia’s hair was allowed to grow long and arranged into elaborate hairstyles. Ironically, one of Leia’s trademark symbols—her signature “bun” coiffure—was inherited from her mother’s homeworld of Naboo, although a long time passed before she came to know it. To avoid the tiresome hairstyling, she even cut her hair once—only to be forced to wear a wig, even though she argued that she did not need earmuffs in the summer.
