The 15 Most Memorable Man-Hair Moments in ‘Game of Thrones,’ Ranked

Daenerys’s braids and ringlets, Cersei’s perfect polished waves (RIP), Sansa’s elaborate updos—been there, almost had to cut a piece of my hair out because I got it too tangled while trying to recreate them.
It goes without saying, then, that all of the hair, makeup, wardrobe, and general aesthetic of the show is pretty much impeccable, and I could, and have, waxed on and on about how beautiful it is and how just hearing the theme song moves me to tears.
