your opinion is wrong. :p

I think the fact that she hasn't cut off the black hair makes it Dora.
If she had actually gone and cut it so she was a total blonde, it would look much weirder.
Plus the two-tone look is probably a way to ease us into seeing her with such a drastically different look. Not to mention it's interesting to see someone with long hair - and we'll not count Penelope because she has it up almost always.

Maybe she could dye it some other colour?

Ah, the things this place drives me to. According to this possibly superficial site http://www.hair-styles-secrets-revealed.com/hair/261/how-hair-color-influences-personality-perceptions/, Dora should go with red. Everything else I read claims Heranje is a horrible, evil stereotyper. I simply think she finds speculating about Dora's locks beats homework. Which it does.
Actually, to me, blond hair does suit Dora's 'inner' insecure personality (I'll admit it's gotten a bit more 'outer' lately), but in a weird way—, as some of the sites I looked at pointed out, quite a few people with blond hair (including most of those I've known) got it from a bottle (or box, as the case may be), not their genes, and dyed their hair blond to feel more attractive; in other words, to bolster themselves. The insecurity some of these folks are struggling against sometimes manifests in some rather unpleasant ways, similar to Dora's fit about Sven and Faye. OTOH, the two of the few real blonds I've known, one male and one female, were both rather intelligent, all-around nice people, which goes again animé hair-color stereotyping, anyway.

THANK YOU.
I'm sorry for the slightly off-topic comment, but thank you SO MUCH. I'm a blonde, and intelligent, and generally a nice person.
It aggravates me to be stereotyped in that way.
Bottled blondes give natural blondes a bad image. Especially with all the jokes/stories/etc about bitchy, stupid blondes.
Anyway, yeah. Hair colors does not tell who a person IS.
It tells their GENETIC CODING.
Obviously in the case of Dora, it wasn't so much genetics as Jeph's mind, but the same thing applies - just because her natural hair color is blonde doesn't mean it goes against who she is... It's just a part of her physical description.
masquerade:
Hair color doesn't have a thing to do with it unless your hair's dyed, imo. People who keep their natural hair color are obviously comfortable with it, and therefore comfortable with what nature has given them. People who dye their hair see something wrong with themselves and set about fixing it.
Sorry, but I am INSANELY vain about my hair, and am ridiculous. I admit it. :-D
