- The women of Game of Thrones have amazing hairstyles,
and I get requests for their hairstyles on a regular basis.
So I thought for Halloween I would pick out my favorite four
and show you guys how to do them.
Let's get started with Margaery.
Starting with already curled hair,
you're going to pick up a small section of hair
from right next to your part
and begin to twist it away from your face.
Gently massage the twist for some added volume
and then sweep the twist back
and pin it at the crown of your head.
You do want this to be fairly high up
because Margaery has this kind of very elevated,
voluminous silhouette to her hairstyle.
Pick up another section on that side.
Twist it and pin it as well,
so that you have two twists on the first side.
Now do the same thing on the second side.
Create your first twist right next to your part,
pin it in place,
and then do the same thing right underneath it.
Now we're gonna grab all the rest of the hair
that's over your ear.
So leave out a couple small pieces around the face
and then on one side sweep all of that hair back,
and you're going to pin it right below
where the twists are that we just pinned.
And finally you're gonna do the same thing
on the other side.
Just grab all the hair that's left over your ear
and pin it back.
And that's it for Margaery's half updo.
You can see we got a lot volume by stacking
that hair up really high
and it definitely recreates
one of her signature looks and silhouettes.
Now on to Cersei's twisted half updo.
Working off of a center part,
go ahead and grab a section right next to your part,
leaving a few pieces out around the face.
Then create a rope braid going back.
We're gonna to do this on our first side
and on the other side of the part, as well.
Then take both of the rope braids back behind your head
and wrap them around each other for a few inches.
Once you've done that,
go ahead and secure it with an elastic.
Next, grab a section of hair right below your rope braid
and twist it back away from the face just a couple of times.
Then you're gonna repeat the same thing on the other side.
Now take those twists to the back
and pick up that section of hair from the rope braid.
This creates three sections which you can now use
to braid all the way down your hair.
And this recreates one of Cersei's really popular hairstyles
but it's a little bit easier
cause she originally had a five strand braid in there
and I just don't even have time for that, guys.
So three strand braid it all the way down,
and secure it with an elastic,
and of course you can loosen it up if you want to.
Whether you're doing this as a costume or not,
I encourage you to try this hairstyle
because it is beautiful, it is Bohemian,
and it comes together surprisingly quickly
once you get the hang of it.
Now let's move on to Sansa.
Pick up a section of hair from your crown to your temples
and put that into a high, high ponytail.
To make her twist, I cheated a little bit.
I bought two bun makers from the Dollar Store.
Cut each of them and then bobby pin them together,
and that makes the form
that you can then create your twist with.
To make the twist, bring all of your hair forward
from that ponytail, and drape it over the twist maker,
and then fan it out so you can cover
as much of it as you possibly can.
Don't stress if you don't get all of it
cause when we twist the hair, it's gonna cover some more.
Then you want to bobby pin your hair to the twist maker,
that way we can just roll the hair up really, really easily.
So make sure to pin
as much hair as you can to that twist maker.
And now you just gotta roll this thing up
like a sleeping bag or a yoga mat
until you've got all the hair
twisted around your twist maker.
Now just tack it down by pinning once in the center
and once on either side of the twist maker
so that it is now laying nicely against your head.
Now just use your hands to gently slide the hair around
until you have hair covering all of the twist maker
and it just looks like this magic twist
that you have made on top of your head.
Once you've done that you can pin it a few more times,
if you want to.
No we've just gotta do some rope braids.
Grab a small section of hair
right next to one side of your twist and rope braid that,
and then do the same thing on the other side,
so you have two small rope braids.
Now I'm gonna take one along the back
to hide my hair elastic, and I'm just pinning that as I go.
And then I decided to loop it around one more time
to hide the part in my hair.
These are great
cause you can just kinda use them to hide whatever.
And then I took the second rope braid
and I just draped it across the front
where my head hit the twist and bobby pinned as I went.
Finish this off either by leaving the rest of your hair down
or by making two rope braided pigtails
on either side of your head.
And that's it for Sansa's updo.
This is one legit costume hairstyle.
If you can pull this off,
you will definitely get noticed for your awesome hair.
Last but not least, we've got Daenery's braids.
We're going to make four braids.
Start with the section right next to your part.
Leave a couple pieces out around your face
and then braid that all the way down.
Then create the same braid on the other side.
Remember to leave your little pieces out,
as that is a very signature part of this hairstyle.
Now take the remaining hair between your braid and your ear.
Leave some pieces out,
and then braid that section all the way down,
and repeat that on the other side.
Now let's pull it all together!
We're just gonna grab those two top braids,
and pull them to the back of your head.
And go ahead and secure them with an elastic,
just about the middle of your head.
Then wrap a small piece of hair around the elastic
and pin it in place.
Now grab those final two braids,
and pull them to the back of the head, as well.
Grab the tail from our first two braids,
incorporate that with everything else,
and secure it with an elastic.
This should be pretty low, close to the nape of your neck.
Now just wrap a piece of hair around that very last bit,
pin it, and you are done.
I'm not gonna lie,
this hairstyle made me feel like a real life warrior.
I loved it.
It's another one of those that I would wear everyday,
not just for costume.
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing
how these hairstyles came together,
and I hope you end up wearing some,
whether it's for every day or for Halloween.
And that's it for this video.
I hope you enjoyed it.

Mwaw! Bye!
