I was an 'Other' vote. Really depends on the woman, how it is done, and what the total package of the woman is. Generally I like something close to the natural color but realize the majority of women do some kind of coloring.
I've seen interesting looks with maroon, lavender/pinkish, bluish, grey, and even white (on a younger woman). I usually like an unusual color better with longer hair than with short, but I like longer hair more in general.
In and of itself it's not unattractive to me; but I'm not big on tats (a couple are OK but don't like heavy coverage) and they often come together. Another downside is the hair can sometimes look kind of dry/crispy (which an unusual color can accentuate) after long periods of dyeing, which isn't a huge turnoff but isn't optimal.
On the one hand it gives me a little pause, on the other hand that pause might translate into more attention and making me think there's more spunk/interestingness than average, and it can look sexy. I tend to like it more when it isn't expected based on the look/clothing style of the woman. Offsetting/mixing looks can be a sexy outcome; somewhat conservative dresser with offbeat color, punky girl with long/natural hairstyle, etc. That said, there's nothing at all wrong with conventional style for both dress and hair; as far as conveying uniqueness/coolness goes, the personality immeasurably overshadows the surface dress/accessories to me.
My overall view on hair is that having some length looks best for almost all women, including for black women (dreads/braids; though I've also seen some black women with ultra short that looked good) and I usually lean towards normal/natural colors in practice but don't at all make a blanket judgment based on an offbeat color.
I can't imagine being shocked by a person's hair color or style in 2021.
I mean, they sure tried in the 80s to be shocking with the punk styles, the mohawks and everything, but I dunno, maybe it's because I've never been a traditional or conservative person and I certainly had my "shock and scare the normal people!" phase in my teen years (though it was more goth than punk).... I see people of any age being expressive and eye catching with their appearance and I'm just like hey...good for you.
I don't really see anything shameful about wanting attention. I just got too lazy and/or busy with other things to keep putting effort into that.
I do see something shameful about a person who believes that if someone stands out, then they deserve to be punished for it. Like, "If you have done something that makes me notice you, then I now have the right to be an a-hole about it, be judgmental, sneer or leer or ogle, or go out of my way to make you uncomfortable. Because I DON'T LIKE IT. Nyah! I want the world to be as boring and bland as possible! You too spicy for my eyeballs!"
I mean, saying it's not to your taste, that you would not adopt that fashion or that it does not attract you sexually, is certainly fine. But saying, "Because I don't like this thing, no one should do it." ??? Who do you (general you, not you in particular) think you are? Why should another person care about our opinions?
It goes back to the root of this ideology that all people in a society should conform and any who don't should be punished and I hate it. Why would you want the world to be so boring? Why is it so bothersome to you, to anyone, that some people look different?
And for real, if a man, a man who sees himself as a manly masculine conservative sort of a man, in particular, feels a need to make scowly faces and spout off his opinion about the looks of a stranger who did not ask him and doesn't care, then I have one question that I feel really needs to be asked of him...
Why are you so sensitive about fashion? Maybe you need a thicker skin, dude.
I chose "other." Depends on the woman, the style and the color. I've seen some styles and colors that were very attractive and some that were way too bizarre.
A woman with blue or pink hair, I am not into that. It looks crazy to me. I'm also not into the whole sleeve of tattoos or tattoos on certain body parts (I'd prefer if a woman didn't have ANY tattoos. I myself have no tattoos and will never get any).
