In the beginning-middle of the movie, Sophie accidentally made Howl paint his
hair black instead of his [natural blonde
color](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SkwdU.jpg). I also suspect that this is his
natural color because he felt so upset after the incident.

But if this is right, then why does Sophie see him in [the
vision](http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/howlscastle/images/8/85/Howl10.png/revision/latest?cb=20120129220726)
in his current color (black) which he got years after that scenario?

Was that an accident in script? Or is there another meaning for that part of
the story?

Why was the hair of Howl colored black when he was young?


Sophie went and organized his hair coloring products (like he said not to)
Howl's hair is naturally _black_ he dyes his hair blonde. When he rushed out
of the bathroom this hair was a bright orange because his products weren't in
the order he was used to, so by instinct he chose the wrong bottle. When he
got depressed because he wasn't "beautiful" his hair turned into it's natural
black color. Because his hair is naturally black, in the vision she saw, his
hair is black, not blonde.
