i donno if this would go here but, padawan haircut

[tigus]

I'm going to be cos playing as a pdawan in october, and i was wonder if female padawans had the same haircut as males?

[Ral Miran]

I wouldn't think they'd have the short "mullet-Jedi" padawan look. They might still have the braid, but they'd probably have longer hair. I don't remember seeing any female Jedi padawans in the movies, except Bariss Offee, and she had a hood. I'm guessing just keep your hair as it is and add a braid. Other's might know a better idea or how the haircut actually looks. Hopefully that helped!

my hair is already fairly short, so cutting it wouldnt totally kill me like it would most girls, its about 3.5 inches long so even if it didnt look right it wouldnt take long to grow back. i just wanted to know if its correct.

[Ral Miran]

Well, I'd think you could do anything you thought would look good. I've seen no human female Jedi in the movies, so I don't think there are any standards for it. Do whatever looks cool! And take pictures when you have your costume and hair done! I'm sure whatever you choose will look great!

[tigus]

yup, as soon as my costume is finished up i will be posting pics, i have my outer robe all done, and tunic fabric ordered. my deadline is october so it will def be finished up by then. chances are ill cut my hair to about an inch and a half, im right now growing it out (its killing me, ive needed a haircut for weeks and i still have another 2 months) so i have enough for the pony tail and to make it look like i have a braid and can add a fake behind my ear, i have another con in april and will hopefully have a real padawan braid by then.

you should make your hair into a ponytail and then add the braid, or keep a hood on at all times. and my hair was about 3.5 in long about 2 months ago, but then I got it cut and my hair looked like young Anakins at the end of EI

my hair is too short to put into a ponytail img.photobucket.com/albums/v704/gatto3/80e2736a.jpg

[Clone Commando]

very true , If i were you I would wait till october then if it's not long enough cut it

[tigus]

sounds like good plan

From what I can gather from research, female padawans don't have to cut their hair. Most wear it in a braid or a tail down their backs. They must, however, wear the traditional Padawan braid behind the right ear.

So if your hair is short, just go with the padawan braid and don't worry about the rest.

I decided when my master cut my braid that I wear my hair short anyway. It's about the same length (no more than an inch at it's longest) as Obi-Wan's in EP I. Best decision I could have made with the recent heat we've been having and I joke with my friends that it sure is easier to deal with on missions (going to class and lab).

Padawans with hair wear the braid on the rightside, it is to make them recognisable as students. Wonder what they do with padawans that have no hair?

[tigus]

that really is a good question i have no idea what they do with alien padawans. update on my haircut, my mom doesnt want me cutting it padawan short but i will be cutting a good inch at least off of it so i can make the little padawan ponytail in the back

[Seda Navilli]

It looks short enough to me. I think you should keep it as long as it is and simply add the braid.

[tigus]

the problem with it is only the back is that short, i have bangs that are long enough to fall in my eyes

[Seda Navilli]

I say keep em! I doubt that even George Lucas would want you to lose any femininity for the sake of his story

But then again he was pretty sexist when it came to the ratio of female Jedi on screen.

At least they werent all wearing skimpy outfits.

...except for Aayla. Oh well!
