‘Easygoing’ is not a word we would use to describe Game Of Thrones‘ leading lady Sansa Stark and, apparently, the same goes for her fiery mane.

Sansa’s signature red hair is a staple in the series, but it’s been revealed that the ~lewk~ actually takes a lot of maintenance.

Sophie Turner, the actress behind the character, has revealed she dyes her hair an absurd amount in order to keep the colour (and her roots) fresh.

“I’m constantly dyeing. On Game of Thrones I have to constantly dye my hair red every week,” she tells POPSUGAR.

In the interview, Sophie elaborated on the power of Sansa’s hair, telling the publication:

“[Sansa is] a very silent character, you know; you don’t really know what she’s thinking, or who is having influence over her. And that was one of the ways we showed — that and her costumes — was the only real way that we knew what she was taking in and learning from these people, because she would mirror Cersei’s hairstyle or Margaery’s hairstyle. When she went away with Littlefinger, she dyed her hair black for a second and that sort of mirrored him. And it’s really interesting to see that sort of physical representation of her adapting to each situation; it was a really smart move.”

We’ve gotta say, we’re impressed with Soph’s commitment to the ‘do!
