Hair from Beyond #1: Sansa's Wedding Hair

Hello hello people! Lately I've started a new project, in which I've set myself the challenge of recreating my favourite hairstyles from the big (and small) screen. I'll be sharing them all here in a new series of posts: Hair from Beyond....

I absolutely love the hairstyles in Game of Thrones. They go such a long way characterizing and highlighting the changes that these characters go through, it's incredibly efficient. For a while now I've been meaning to recreate Sansa's wedding updo, but my hair is too thin to really come anywhere close to the desired effect.
Finally last night a friend gave in and agreed to let me use her head as a canvas...

My friend has incredibly thick, smooth hair with zero grip whatsoever, which normally can't even hold a single braid... This took an entire can of hairspray, but taming the beast was oh-so satisfactory.

In a way, it's very Amidala-esque...
Unfortunately I had no beads on me.

If you'd like me to make a tutorial on how to recreate this, let me know in the comments!
