Realistic Disney Princess Hairstyles

Buzzfeed's Loryn Brantz Gives Characters an Attainable Look

This pop culture-themed art series features attainable Disney princess hairstyles that are sported by icons like Aladdin's Jasmine and The Little Mermaid's Ariel.

While we have all envied Disney princess hair growing up, this art series embraces realism and makes unattainable volume and shine a little more realistic.

In the series, Mulan dons a frizzy do that replaces her perfectly sleek hairstyle while Ariel sports wet locks that are much different than her depicted tresses. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel's hair remains perfect despite of being ruined by water.

This hilarious and charming image series was created by Buzzfeed's Loryn Brantz who wanted to give real girls more hope when it comes to their hair. While Disney princesses have always symbolized beauty, their attributes are not always the most realistic.
