A haircut can give you a new life—that is the message promised by career-making stylists and also by last night's episode of Game of Thrones, which proves week after week that Jon Snow—who made a more literal resurrection courtesy of his dark ringlets last season—still has the best hair on television. Even if Kit Harington, the actor who plays Snow, has taken issue with the focus on his locks on and off camera, saying, “I like to think of myself as more than a head of hair,” he clearly understands the power of a good cut, keeping his artfully disheveled spirals in working order, whether his travels take him on dragon glass-foraging expeditions or beyond the Wall.
Of course, Harington isn’t the first TV heartthrob to inspire hair envy. We’d hedge our bets that a young Emile Hirsch, cruising around Venice in Lords of Dogtown, inspired just as many kids to pick up skateboards as he did women to call their nearest colorist. Fashion’s air-dried blunt bob owes a great debt to Kurt Cobain. And we’d like to retroactively award Taylor Kitsch’s Friday Night Lights rough-and-tumble layers with an Emmy for Best Second-Day Hair in a Dramatic Series.
