"Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams was almost unrecognizable at the March 27 launch of her show&amp;apos;s exhibition in New York City, where she showed off long, brunette curls -- a stark change from the super-short boy-cut she sports as Arya Stark on the HBO series. But a source tells Us Weekly that the look was temporary; Williams uses extensions whenever she has a big event or party to attend.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;She [cut her hair] for the show,&amp;quot; the insider says. &amp;quot;She just committed. She&amp;apos;s a girl, so she&amp;apos;d love to have her long hair back, but it&amp;apos;s her job, so she sucked it up.&amp;quot;\r\nWilliams, whose character on Game of Thrones is on the run and in disguise as a boy, spoke about the decision to cut her hair in a behind-the-scenes video for HBO during the show&amp;apos;s second season. (The third season premieres Sunday, March 31.)\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;They asked me if I wanted to get my hair cut, and my first reaction was &amp;apos;No way.&amp;apos; Then I was thinking about it, and people on the internet had said, &amp;apos;Oh, I don&amp;apos;t think she&amp;apos;ll get her hair cut. She&amp;apos;s too young. It&amp;apos;s a big decision to make,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; she explains. &amp;quot;I just sort of wanted to prove them wrong.&amp;quot;\r\nAnd there are some perks to the super-short &amp;apos;do. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s way better than last season with all the pins and grips -- that wig was really itchy, too,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m pretty lucky, because [for] some people, it takes 40 minutes just to do a wig.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
