Now, I'm not sure if any of you have watched the Promo for Season 3 yet, but I certainly have (about one hundred times, actually) and I was a little bit thrown off by Clarke's seemingly red hair. In fact, I'm not really a fan of it but maybe I'm just unaccustomed to change. Funny how something so insignificant could bother me. . . . Anyway, I have a few theories as to why it looks this way and so I'll list them off. If you have an opinion on the matter please join the discussion! Or if you happen to have an explanation, tweeted by Jason Rothenberg or someone else (this hair situation has gained a bit of heat on Youtube) that would awesome, too!

Theory #1: It is just the lighting, from firelight or something, that is making her hair colour look so off. I find this unlikely, though, because even if there was firelight, her hair looks too dark; it would have had to be brown to make that colour.

Theory #2: A weird red-tinted filter was used either for that particular scene or as part of the video-editing.

Theory #3: It was hinted that Clarke is being "hunted". She may have dyed it with some concontion as some sort of disguise. If this is the case, however, I suspect that it is the kind of dye that washes out because I've seen pictures of her in Season 3 and her hair is most definitely blonde.

Theory #4: Her hair could be saturated with blood. A little gruesome, but possible. In my personal opinion, though, it didn't look like blood. Plus, if this is the case, why wouldn't her face be covered in blood, too?

Theory #5: There could be mud in her hair, which would explain why it appears so dark, and firelight is simply reflecting off o fit. But, like I pointed out in my fourth theory, if her hair is so filthy, why wouldn't her face be more dirty?

Those are my theories. Please leave your own. I do hope that Clarke's hair doesn't remain red for long, because it's bothering me more than it should. Thanks for reading!
