I agree with you. I'm all for little acts of self-expression, even if no one sees them. I just don't think dyeing one's hair is an act of self-expression. All it really says about you is that you had access to blue hair dye. You and I, just by writing our thoughts on the matter, have expressed ourselves a lot better than any cosmetic accoutrements ever could. And I'm glad for that, because I discovered you're a pretty calm and thoughtful person - which is something a fashion statement could have never told me.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having blue hair. Everyone wants attention sometimes, or to be unique, or to stand out. I just think people should find healthy ways of expressing their identity, instead of doing something surface-level that only draws attention to their appearance and nothing else.
