Adds Leon Gorman, the creative director of the Marie-Lou & D salon in New York: "Yes, the wigs looks exactly the same. I can tell by the length of the hair cut and the way it's been layered through the interior of the style."

We reached out to the folks at HBO to confirm whether or not it was the same wig, but they declined to comment. Still, Sims understands why the 'do mayhave been recycled. After all, each episode of the luxuriously detailed series costs in the neighborhood of $8-10 million to shoot. So any pennies saved are a good thing. Plus, if the mane works, why dump it?

"It’s striking and memorable. We’re talking about it. In Game of Thrones, it’s all about conversation and memories. It’s smart for storytellers to be able to convey something we’re talking about later," he laughs.

Wigs are clearly the easier option if you want to avoid winding up with a head full of orange hay, as opposed to that glistening silver coiffure. As someone who's experimented and paid the steep price when my long-suffering locks said "Hell, no," here are my favorites for maintaining color as your stylist intended: Davines Alchemic Shampoo Silver, which has variations for every shade, and Drybar's Blonde Ale brightening sudser.

Plus, as someone addicted to the stuff in general, I can attest that Context's newly-launched Replenish Hydrating Oil is free of icky parabens, sulfates or sodium chloride, and Uma's product is pure heaven and saved my ends from looking like fried straw. And like Kate Middleton, who uses the brand, I'm a massive fan of Kerastase's Elixir Ultime, to keep colored hairs soft and shiny. And while pricey, Christophe Robin's Shade Variation Care Nutritive Maskgives your hair a temporary color boost and leaves it feeling softer than the dreamy, gauzy love scene between Jon and Daenerys. Before the whole incest bit.
