There are so many things we love about Game of Thrones – and the hair is just one of them!

If you fancy creating Daenerys’ instantly recognisable braided look for yourself – or creating it on someone else to pass the time while the boys are watching a little thing known as The World Cup – then you’re in luck, as we have the step-by-step tutorial right here, all thanks to Butterfly Studio Salon stylist Jason Dougherty. Ok, here goes:

Split hair down the middle and part out a section around the temple of the head to be used for this top braid.

• Place a light gel or serum like Shu Uemura’s Touch of Gloss on the crown for shine.
• Then create an inverted braid along the head on both sides and connect in the back.
• Prep the remaining hair with Oribe’s Dry Texture Spray.
• Start a Waterfall Braid along the head on both sides and connect with the first braid.
• Finally, use a curling wand to curl the hair.
• Use your hands and a comb to backcomb the hair for this textured messy look. Place an ornate necklace as a headpiece for an added touch.

And you’re done! Send us a pic of your efforts – we’re dying to see how you got on!
