Some may think that Princess Leia's hairstyle is hideous, but you can tweak the braids to make them look absolutely stunning.

This YouTube user starts the hairdo with a bun-maker (sometimes known as a donut).

Splitting a high ponytail into two, she braids the bottom part of the ponytail and uses the top half to set the shape of the bun.

To finish off, wrap the smaller braids around the bun.

The result: A hairdo that will be a hit on Instagram.
