What the theory has going for it: The head piece not being disintegrated(that amount of heat should have melted it or at least caused it to glow from the intense heat) While I don't think this means the theory has any validity, it does raise the question of why her head piece did not get disintegrated. Cinder would appear to have disintegrated her body and everything she was wearing save the head piece. Given that she had metal armor on several parts of her body that also appear to have been disintegrated there is no reason to think the head piece would not also have been disintegrated.

So, what is the deal with Cinder keeping the head piece? All she did was drop it on the floor so it isn't as if she wanted to keep it for accessorizing. Obvious reason would be that RT wanted to make Pyrrha's death seem extra dramatic and unsettling, but didn't really think through the mechanics of it or they would have left all of Pyrrha's metal armor in tact. A less obvious reason is that Cinder was putting on some cool macabre display for her own emo self since there was no one else to witness it to her knowledge.
