Crass braids

Crass braids

Going to LARP as a space pirate or Viking leader? The costume is already hanging in the wardrobe, but when it comes to the hair, people are quick to make do with a pragmatic, boring braid. The iconographic hairstyles of Leia Organa or Ragnar Lothbrok are not witchcraft and are not only part of the right costume for cosplay like the weapon or the chain mail.

You can also learn a lot from the updos of Anne Boleyn, Tauriel or Sansa Starkwhen it comes to weddings or proms. But what Sansa needed a chambermaid for (or Sophie Turner a make-up artist), you can now easily do yourself at home in front of the mirror.
