Step-by-Step: Sophie Turner and Wella Make Waves at GoT Premiere

Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner traded in her Sansa Stark furs for a sparkly, graphic Louis Vuitton number at the highly anticipated premiere of the show's seventh season. Turner hit the red carpet sporting loose waves in rich red shade—Sansa's signature hair color, and a big departure from the icy blonde shade Turner was wearing before filming. 

"I wanted to give Sophie a glamorous yet relaxed vibe to match with her gorgeous sparkly dress. We both agreed on a deep side part with loose waves swept to one side,” says Christian Wood for Wella Professionals.

Get the look: 

  1. Begin by spritzing wet hair at the roots with Wella Professionals EIMI Sugar Lift. Dry the hair upside down to create added volume.
  2. Using a round brush, and starting at the nape of the neck, blow dry large sections of hair until the entire head is about 70 percent smooth. This leaves room for a textured, yet shiny appearance.
  3. Next, blow dry hair section-by-section using a round brush to create a smooth look with some movement. 
  4. To add a wave throughout the entire head, use a wand and wrap large sections of hair around the barrel to create loose, soft waves.
  5. Once the entire head has been waved, part the hair on the side using a pin tail comb and spritz Wella Professionals EIMI Dry Me throughout the root area to create added volume and texture. 
  6. Mist a small amount of Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist throughout the mid-lengths and ends for shine and to break up the waves. Loosen the waves further with fingers and gently brush the ends to create soft un-done waves.
  7. Finish with a quick spritz of Wella Professionals EIMI Stay Firm Finishing Spray throughout the entire head for long lasting hold. For flyaways, spray directly onto a makeup powder brush and gently dust over the hair.
