We know that there are so many entertaining things to discuss regarding House of the Dragon season 3 right now … but Daeron’s hair? What is going on there?

After all, we have seen the HBO franchise mask members of House Targaryen before, namely in how Egg shaved his head in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to keep from anyone identifying with his platinum locks. It is far within the realm of possibility that something similar has happened to Alicent and Viserys’ son, who is shocking brunette as he spends time with Ormund Hightower.

So what is really going on with the hair? James Norton, who plays Ormund, is not saying at present. However, he indicates to TV Guide that he is well-aware of all the Daeron discussion that is out there:

There’s been a lot of reaction to the dye or the swap, and what that entailed, and I’ve really enjoyed the memes around Ormund being an exceptionally good hair colorist. The moment when Rhaenyra checks for the roots was particularly fun — and didn’t see any, so I’m very proud of Ormund’s proficiency when it comes to hair dyeing. Whether he dyes Daeron’s hair is another matter. But look, there is clearly a darker fanaticism at play with Ormund, which is the hatred he has of the Targaryens and the fact that he sees them as savages. I don’t know if he dyes his hair. I know there has been reaction to whether Daeron should be the Targaryen blonde, it’s an interesting theory that Ormund is insisting that his hair be dyed, because he says openly to Daeron, “Your Targaryen blood is tainted.” He’s willing to say that to him, and obviously Daeron has grown up with this very confusing idea that part of him is savage. So it wouldn’t be completely far-fetched to think that Ormund has insisted that he dyes his hair — it’s not addressed in the show.

For now, we tend to think that it is a rather fascinating thing to consider — and if it is not addressed this season, could it come up at some point in season 4?
