Hairstyle of the day: Game of Thrones-Cersei Lannister

Hello everyone!

Today's hairstyle was one of these "quick, easy and looking good"- hairdos. It's a hairstyle worn by Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones in Season 2 Episode 1 (The North remembers).

I love Cersei hair in general-usually, her styles are really easy to copy and are looking so much more complicated than they are. Also, usually the show gives us some shots from her backside and she doesn't wear hoods ore stuff like that normally (two factors that made it difficult to figure out what was going on with Ygritte's hairdo from yesterday) so normally, even the details of the styles can be seen easily and there are plenty of good tutorials on Youtube.

A specially good one is from torrinpaige:

Torrin has really a lot of hair (about classic lenght, and really thick) so for those of you with less hair (like me)  maybe the tutorial of silvousplaits is better suited:

So, finally a pic of the look on my hair:


Flashlight makes everything looking frizzy...*grrr*

Basically, we're talking about two english braids at the crown of your had wrapped around a stick in a criss-cross way, pinned into place (after the pinning, take the stick out, of course) and two small front sections just loosly twisted and wrapped around the bun.
As you can see, I didn't do these little "puffs" torrinpaige was doing (and I believe, Cersei also had). that's simply because my hair doesn't like to make puffs and loops and stupp like that, they would just fall apart or turn into a gigantic frizzball until the end of the day. The photo aboe was taken after 10 hours of wearing the style, inculding school, riding the bike and laying on a sofa. It survived pretty well, not? 

A really nice style!
