Analysis (whoo, scientific): This style is almost identical to the first Coruscant hairstyle from Episode I (see that page for further details). The headdress is remarkably similar, with feathers instead of the hair fan at the top. The hair appears to be gathered in the back, where it is divided into 5-8 braids which hang down the back. The braids are banded twice, a few inches apart, with a tail of only a couple inches at the very bottom. There are no fasteners visible aside from the headdress.

Directions: Gather your hair into a high ponytail and divide it into 5-8 sections. Braid each one until you're about 5 inches from the ends. Tie them off, combining several of the braids together. Tie the one or two now-larger braids again a couple inches down, leaving a short tail. That's it!
