I am a huge Game of Thrones fan. Not only do I stay glued to the TV for the plot twists, but I love seeing the beautiful hairstyles worn by the female cast. Per usual, Sunday night’s episode left us with more questions than answers. Where will Jon Snow go after leaving the Night’s Watch? What will happen to Rickon Stark now that he is Ramsay Bolton’s prisoner? And why doesn’t Drogon find his Mom, Daenerys Targaryen, and free her from the Dothrakis? We might not have the answers to these impending questions, but we’ll show you how to achieve the awesome braids and hairstyles we see every Sunday night. We asked Redken Artist Doug Treadway to provide step-by-steps using Redken so you can recreate your favorite GOT hairstyles at home.
