Is it just me, or do Daenerys’ braids begin to look a little wacky, and even downright fake as the series progresses? (I’m looking at you season 7 and 8). I get that it is meant to indicate her multiple victories but some of her hairstyles shouldn't be possible with her length of hair. 

In addition, the braids have no distinct ends or beginnings, along with no bands holding them together, so it's wonky. By 8x06 her braids look like brains bulging from the back of her head. 

I realize that this is high fantasy so not all rules apply, nor am I a hairstylist, but as a fan it’s something I and many others have noticed. 

Now, it has to be said that Daenerys’ wigs are MASTERPIECES AND I WISH I HAD HAIR LIKE THAT/ WHY DID WE NOT GET MORE OF THAT FULL BRAID DOWN THE BACK LOOK???

At Dubrovnik, you can sunbathe around the Pile (Blackwater Bay), Kayak around Lokrum (Qarth) or even take a walking tour of the city.

2. Astapor: Essaouira, Morrocco

3. Yunkai: Ouarzazate, Morocco

Some of Daenerys’s journeys were filmed at Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate and at Berber village of kasbahs Aït Benhaddou, which also provided the setting for Yunkai – the slave city where Danaerys takes with the Unsullied army. Found in Morocco’s Saharan Atlas Mountains region, Aït Benhaddou is 32km from Ouarzazate.

6. Dorne Palace: Seville, Spain

Seville has been used for multiple scenes in GOT including Palaza de Torres in the town of Osuna just outside Seville, used for the Meereen War. The Royal Alcazar Seville was used as the Dorne Palace.
