20 Game of Thrones Inspired Hairstyles

You may be hooked on the intricate plot twists, heart-wrenching love stories, or the magic in the hit show Game of Thrones, but it’s the beauty of the intricately woven and twisted hairstyles that keep us coming back for more. Game of Thrones might not be the first show that pops into your mind when looking for beauty inspiration. The hair department mostly specializes in medievally grungy and dirty hair — as it would be in the days of no shampoo — but the ladies definitely have some gorgeous and often complicated hairdos that we’re obsessed with.

Different Game of Thrones Hairstyles

The best television shows draw you in using storylines, characters, and beautiful styling. The hairstyles of Game Of Thrones showcase looks that leave us wanting to try them ourselves. From Cersei’s tousled curls to Sansa’s twisted locks and Daenerys’ braided updos, there’s beyond enough hair inspiration to be had while watching this series.

#1: Tousled Curls and Braids

Daenerys would be proud. Get the dragon queen’s white-blonde tousled curls and chunky, Dutch plaits by curling the hair at the ends and finger-combing through them for an effortless look. Let the plaits hang down the back of the hair like a real princess.

#2: Seven Kingdom-Worthy Plaits

Cersei Lannister’s romantic twists and braided sections would look just as good at the beach or paired with a maxi dress. This look may seem impossible, but it’s actually just straight hair with a few long braids and one thick French braid pulled apart at the center.

#3: Cross-Sectioned Braided Updo

It wouldn’t be a Game of Thrones inspired hair list if there were no updos included. Although complicated in appearance, all you have to do is create a faux-bob and crisscross braids around the head. Warrior ready!
