LadyNoOne Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I think we've all noticed Jaime Lannister's hair growing more brunette (and grey) through the seasons... I am of the opinion that is representative of his departing from the Lannister ways. What do people think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjulibai Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I don't think it looks more brown, but definitely gray. I figured that was just him growing older and being weary about the world and all he'd seen and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L’Age d’or Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I figured he dyed it a bit to avoid being recognised riding alone all the way to Winterfell, he is definitely not a popular figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that idea but this means that he will have to hide his golden hand. I mean, how many amputees roam the kingdoms with a golden hand? Perhaps his darker hair could be the showrunners using a visual message to show us that he had changed (besides the scene when he arrived at Winterfell, just a stranger among strangers, dressed in dark coloured clothes, wearing a hood contrasts the previous arrival in Winterfell where he was wearing his white cloak and looking radiant). Perhaps an indication that he will join the NW? That was a popular theory, especially if one considers his conversation with Jon Snow in S1.

Well he was covered head to toe with a cloak and wearing nondescript armour with long gloves which covered hands pretty well. He might end up joining the NW but that is if such organisation remains functional or even necessary; with the freefolk already south of the wall, the wall breached and the army of the dead sweeping the north there is pretty much no reason to have a NW after everything is said and done.

StoneColdJorahMormont Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Yes he was once Vain with huge self importance and he has been humbled as the show has gone on, let go of his vanity, he stopped shaving and dying his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think that Jamie dyed his hair, he has just grown old and gray and darker. That's normal. (The actor might dye his hair, though.)

I was joking about the hair dye, it was obviously important all the lannisters had light blonde hair in the early seasons as this was part of the books and also a big part in the storytelling... the true father of cerseis kids etc... but as the show has gone on I think the actors playing them have probably requested to cut back on it, if you look at Jaime,cersei and to a lesser degree tyrion they all had blonde hair at the shows beginning.... Jaime is now closer to costers natural hair, lena has went darker and tyrion looks slightly off ginger lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I feel slightly annoyed by Cersei different hair color. A little bit more continuity would be fine. Jamie is OK for me, because the tendency to darker and grayer seems realistic and natural.

A blonde usually goes greyer and lighter as the age, so even for me Jaimes hair change is out of place... and as said tyrion is basically becoming a tully with that auburn mane.

Lollygag Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It might be a call out to the books. As Jaime leaves RR, he cuts off all of his hair to hide his identity and this is when he starts noticing Brienne. He thinks about Cersei's fingers in his hair as he cuts it, noticing a louse coming out which kinda creates an equivalency between Cersei's fingers and lice. Looking at his reflection in the water, he doesn't recognize himself and then he sees a Lannister soldier dead in the water wondering if he knew him. The dead Lannister soldier represents the old, dead Jaime Lannister. Jaime thinks that Cersei will hate it that they don't look alike anymore. When he gets to KL, Cersei's ticked because he's going gray and they don't look the same anymore. It might point to Jaime's loyalties being more aligned with the brown-haired Starks. They do the same the same thing with clothing colors hinting at loyalties and thoughts. Tyrion's hair being redder is interesting... Jaime is sworn to Cat. LSH is hooded and noticed that Jaime arrives in Winterfell hooded. Wonder if that'll come up somehow or if it's just an Easter Egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakin1013 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I thought his hair was a visual to represent time passing. I found no other significance in it. Perhaps I missed something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallTale Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Plot wise, the hair color change was simply to disguise himself as he left from King's Landing. He went full Aragon with the long mysterious hood. Metaphorically, it does seem like a character arc representation of how he's changed from the original Winterfell meetup.

Orphalesion Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Isn't it just that cold, dark filter they slap over every scene in the North? Just like Mellisandre's hair looked purple/maroon when she was there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 His hair was extremely blonde the first season, just like Tyrion's was. When your hair is golden blonde into your 30s it doesn't turn dirty blonde, your hair doesn't change color either due to your character growth, it is a continuity fail. It is probably exacerbated by the blue filter they use for the North scenes, but his hair has not been blonde for a long time, and neither has Tyrion's. I presume, if you are making a huge salary and part of the biggest TV show in the world, that you should be able to suck it up and stand some bleach or a wig for a few weeks a year.
