Gonna press X to doubt on this whole sentiment as I recall Ichigo's odd hair color being used as a reason to bully him. Having weird hair colors in Japan goes pretty hard against the grain because their society has such a strong penchant for conforming. Nail that stands up gets hammered down and all that.
The ultra conservatives of any culture are always against dying the hair . That doesnt mean there wasn't a "coolness" culture surronding it. Just like in the West, dying your hair didn't originally have a stigma of being a woke activist but only recently is that now a thing.
