Labelling it merely as a TV \nseries would be an understatement, as its scope was such that has \nattracted <strong>record viewership on HBO<\/strong> and generated an exceptionally broad and active international fandom.\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n              Exciting for the interweaving and depth of its characters,\n Game of Thrones has also offered insights in areas outside the \nnarrative, not least the area connected <strong>to clothes and hairstyles<\/strong>.\n Studied in detail by Michele Clapton, the costumes worn by the \ncharacters have accompanied the evolution of protagonists over time, \nthus becoming unspoken indicators of characteristics and salient traits \nof each and every one of them.\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n              Hairstyles also contributed to determining the attitude and personality of characters, <strong>each carrying out a well-defined individualism and symbolism<\/strong>.\n Much like with clothes, the three women Sansa, Cersei and  Daenerys \nwore different hairstyles over time, following the evolution of their \npsychological traits.\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n              <strong>Sansa&#8217;s liberating straight hair<\/strong><br>\n              The character played by Sophie Turner in the series always\n wore complex and elaborate hairstyles. As the actress herself revealed a\n few years ago, Sansa&#8217;s hair is constantly reflecting <strong>what she can learn from the people around her<\/strong>.\n The very straight hair therefore becomes a growth statement, showing \nthat she is her own person and that she is the master of her own \ndestiny.\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n              <strong>The short hairstyle of Cersei Lannister<\/strong><br>\n              Cersei&#8217;s hairstyle is one of the most evident look \ntransformations.  For the first five seasons she wore a very long, \nauburn-brown, silky and soft hair, always braided or picked up in \nspecific and clearly feminine ways, to then swing to a masculine, short \nbob haircut, a harsh and cold style for a specific period in her \npersonal history. The transition from long hair to a short haircut is a \nsilent symbol of her <strong>inner transformation<\/strong>, one that marks her path for profound revenge.\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n              <strong>The bloody braids of Daenerys Targaryen<\/strong><br>\n              She also wore long and wavy hair, oftentimes styled in \nelaborate braids.  Her hair colour was platinum blonde, which matched \nthe white of her clothes, a symbol of her purity of intent.  In the last\n season, however, her outfits became less and less immaculate, marking a\n gradual inner corruption, accentuated step by step <strong>by a growing number of braids in her hair, one for each adversary killed in battle<\/strong>.\n            <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n              The care and attention to detail showed for styling the \ncharacters proves, once more, how hairstyle is an important element to \ncommunicate one\u2019s image. A starting point that surpasses the case in \nquestion and becomes a source of inspiration in everyday work at the \nsalon: because even pr\u00eat-\u00e0-porter beauty must be custom-tailored and \ntaken care of in all its aspects.\n            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most watched and successful television sagas in recent years has come to an end: let&#8217;s take a last look at the three captivating women of the series to find out the hidden meaning behind their hairstyles.
