You mentioned 'Brutal honesty' in your profile...So let's see if communicating in a way you understand might settle this for you.

By your posts.. you have managed to stick out as the only person here who has an issue with how others do their hair. Which really does look as if you probably have some issues around your own appearance, you'd rather project on others than deal with?

In any of those descriptions, I see nothing pertaining to dying your hair. Rendering a human being less confident and fake if they do...
In my perception as a human being, I view it as making a statement as to how we feel at any given moment in our lives. Lack of confidence certainly does not mean that you go dye your hair and poof! You are confident!
I am almost 51 years young and very confident. I raised to sons. Who are awesome young men! I was a heavy equipment operator in the Navy. I have taught in South America as well as in China. I have driven an 18 wheeler on all 48 lower states. That is not indicative of someone without confidence.
Making a generalization of someone dying their hair, making them seem "fake" and "less confident" shows a very judgemental attitude. Which I don't ahere to...
The girls I taught in China dye their hair...not because they want to be more confident. But because they finally have some freedoms in their lives and they simply can. An expression of their inner beings. People get tatoos for expression. Yes I have one. Do I dye my hair for anyone else. Absolutely not...I like who I am. But I have the freedom to change my appearance and if I choose to do that, yay for me!!!
I would rather dye my hair, than be judgemental. I accept people at face value whether their hair is purple, orange or non existant. Whether they are Christian, Muslim or Wackytabacky! For me...it's about heart...not the color of hair and whether you change it or not.
I gravitate toward people who are real...and if they express themselves from inside out in a way that makes them happy...What an awesome human being they are!!!!
