Does anyone out there have a REAL padawan braid?

Just wondering, because I'm female and 40 (that's a minority combination in SW fandom, but what the hell - once a SW fan, ALWAYS a SW fan! dancing ) and I have very long hair, so I usually put it in a pony tail and keep a small section of it behind my right ear in a very long (waist-length) thin braid (Obi Wan TPM style)...

Does anyone else do this?

I did, before it was called a padawan braid.. I had mine for about 5-6 years. I even had it decorated with colored thread wrapped around it, much like you see on the various padawan learners(anakin's were blue, for example)..Old pics are on my website.

I sometimes tie coloured wool in mine, and have beads at the end!

I'm sort of a hippy Jedi! LOL!!

it should be in the "more pictures" section... I believe it is visable in the picture of me infront of the grey townhome. If not, the picture with myself and the Chaos! Comics crew shows a little bit of it.

I cut mine off shortly before the Phantom Menance came out, as I was preparing to go into the service. happy

I had two, one behind each ear, but only have one. The cat got it and well, walked away with it hanging out of his mouth. :-)
Thankfully it didn't hurt when he snatched it off. It went from behind my ear to my waist.
I'm regrowing the second one and have an extenstion the samae shade as my hair attached to it until it grows much longer. I get asked if it's real all the time.

Now a question, how do you guys deal with the little hairs that stick out all over the place with the braid?

I used a beeswax, availible at a fine Hot Topic near you ( or Sally beauty). It smooths and conditions. I had to do some trimming upon occasion, since the Padawan braid is prone to split ends.

Nope. Mine's a clip-on. I have several available in different colors if anyone's interested.
