It's a bit odd that people panic at the idea of a blonde haired actress taking part in a role the needs a dark haired character. It's not uncommon for blonde actresses to make exceptional brunettes, and brunettes/or even darker haired women to take on blonde roles, or even blonder hair colored when modeling. As white as snow, promise! In the Witch's Quickening- in certain parts I noticed blondish roots- hard to notice, especially since you're caught up in paying attention to what she's doing rather than her hair color. It is probably shocking to some who watch Merlin because  many stories, and even this show gives, Morgana, the character- 'the dark haired pale skinned sorceress,' look. Had she been left with blonde hair, I doubt the character, 'Morgana,' would have so much impact. She is still beautiful. :)

As for the picture, it might not look natural- but going from black to blonde again is not easy. Dark colors tend to redden the hair when it fades. Purple, orange, etc. Oddly enough to decrease the orange/copper from dark colors you need lavender type of products for, 'correcting.'
