How do you feel about unnaturally colored hair in academia?

I'm a STEM PhD student and I'm looking for opinions on unnaturally colored hair. Is it unprofessional? If you meet someone at a conference with colored hair, are you less likely to trust or collaborate with that person? Are you MORE likely to collaborate? Or does hair color not affect your attitude toward that person in any way?

Some of my friends have colored hair, and I don't think it's a problem, but I'm looking for a wider sample size.

I think that you’ll get a much warmer reception from younger academics. It could negatively affect your networking with the older generations though, so it’s a bold move. Personally, I’d love to normalize funky academic fashion.
