It is imperative to start the list with Khaleesi who is not only Mother of Dragons, but also master of a fabulous hairstylist, and has been consistently giving us hair goals throughout the show. This twisted half updo is her signature style, which you can achieve with two ponytails that have been twisted inwards. Also, brownie points if you have platinum blonde hair for added authenticity.
2. The tri-braid crown

We know for a fact that half the reason we envy all Game of Thrones hairstyles is because their braid game is way too strong for us mere mortals. However, that isn’t the case anymore. A three-braid crown can make you look like you were a royal too. All you need to do is make three braids on either side of your head and bring them together at the back, starting from the top and integrating it into the bottom braid.
3. The 5-point star braid

The most satisfying thing in the world is to do something which requires very little effort, yet get results which are grand and enviable. This hairstyle from the Game of Thrones is a perfect example of such things. Three separate braids which you make starting from the crown of your head, merge together (after you open the middle braid and incorporate that section) for two resultant braids to emerge.
4. The ultimate triple braid

This is probably one of the easiest, yet most intricate-looking Game of Thrones hairstyles you will be able to execute on your own. All you have to do is divide your hair into three sections at the back of your hair, so that you have three braided sections for the resultant braid, making it look more complicated than it actually is.
5. The intricate Celtic knot

Please don’t worry, the incredible Celtic knot which so many of the characters have been seen to sport, only looks intricate. However, you too can look like a badass huntress or a princess, with just a couple of carefully placed fingers and a single strand of hair pushed through the right loops and absolutely no extra accessories for your tresses.
6. The famous half ponytail of Margaery Tyrell

We’ve all seen it, we’ve all lusted after it, but now we too can have this gorgeous half ponytail updo made famous by the character of Margaery Tyrell. If you look at it closely, all it consists of is three sets of twisted hair strands which go from either side of your head to the back, and just before they are tied together, a fourth set of twists from behind the ear rolls in above the point where the twist conjoin.
7. Khaleesi’s go-to hair

Here is Khaleesi, looking as queen-like as ever, and giving us all the inspiration we need to look just like her. This hairstyle too is easy to accomplish, with three non-parallel French braids, in varying degrees of tightness for the ridged effect, running on either side of your head. All these can either be left open ended, or bobby-pinned together at the back of your head.

This hairstyle is inspired by the hair goals provided to us by none other than Sansa Stark. Although it looks all royal and regal, the actual hairstyle is a really simple DIY deal. You start with French braiding two sections from either side of your hair and then stop right behind your ear and continue to braid normally. These two braids meet at the back of your head, which leads to a long ponytail. You repeat the process from a little lower down till the next two braids meet the ponytail and tie the ends to it.
9. The double twists and the fishbone braid

The best thing about this hairstyle is that it literally takes you minutes to execute, but the results are stunning. Okay, that is the deal with all these gorgeous hairstyles but I’ve taken a particular fancy to this one. Two sets of loose hair twists join at the back of your head, and to give added depth, they are inverted through the gap between your scalp and your rubber band. The remaining hair from the twists emerging from the rubber band is tied into a teased fishbone braid.
10. Braid on braid style

After checking out quite a number of Game of Thrones hairstyles, it has been established that the most gorgeous hairstyles are nothing but intelligently crafted braids. This one is no exception. Three half French, half normal braids are tied together, which lead to a larger, teased and open ended simple braid, making you look like a Medieval badass frankly.
11. The super simple, but super chic twists

Cersei Lannister’s hair game is pretty strong on the show. However, this hairstyle is something we can identify with, pull off, and wear everywhere, and still look as cool as she does. Legit, all it consists of is a couple of twisted sections of hair, worn like a crown, atop a cascade of beachy waves. So much win and so so easy.
12. Sansa’s simple, rustic braid

Even though her hairstyle is basic, we can’t help but want to re-create it because it is so simple and pretty. Also, it was on Game of Thrones, so we love it no matter what. What makes this hairstyle so Westerosi is the fact that the twisted sections of the hair are pinned way high up, almost near the parting, which gives way to the basic braid (which can even be a fishbone braid).
13. The inverted crown-braid cascade

This is one of the most romantic hairstyles ever, and it is inspired by nothing less than our favorite TV show. Two braids have to be made, starting from either side of your head, and instead of crossing them from over your head, you have to cross them from the back, so that you can pin the braids under the opposite ear. A separate section is simply taken and pinned in the mid-section of the two parallel braids at the back of your head. Something like this would look perfect when worn to prom or to a wedding or any other party.
14. Back to Daenerys’ super waves

Daenerys has a plethora of twists and braids ready to give us all major hair goals. These twists are much bolder than the other simpler hairstyles that we have seen the Khaleesi sport. The French twists start from behind each ear and with every twist, you pick up more hair to give the twist volume. The rest of the hair is set into firm curls.
15. The messy waterfall braid

A waterfall braid is pretty famous and intricate, but it is made even more intriguing after it was used extensively on the sets of Game of Thrones for a lot of characters. The trick to the right waterfall braid is to have a firm grip, and with every third twist in your braid, along with taking some more hair, you let go of one of the strands so that it falls through your braid like a waterfall. Because this one is messy, it is easier to hide the mistakes if you are a little clumsy at first.
