Sansa’s hair had their own journey: Sophie Turner
The 22-year-old actor, who plays Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, said from season five onwards she was forced to live with “really disgusting” hair. “For the first few seasons, I was allowed to wash my hair because I was an aristocratic girl. Towards season five, they started asking me to not wash my hair and it was really disgusting,” Turner told InStyle magazine.
“(In the final season) I wear a wig, so I can wash my hair whenever I want, which is nice,” she added.
The actor describes the experience as “really itchy” and “disgusting”.
“For the first few episodes, she was a Northerner in Winterfell and took after her mother with a simple braid. Then, when she went to King’s Landing, it was a big, decadent halo that was very much like what (Cersei Lannister) wore. With Littlefinger, she dyes her hair black and wears all black. Then she goes back to Winterfell and returns to her mother’s hair,” Turner said.
