And on the other hand, I like stability. I also saw the frequent change in hairstyle as being desperate for a compliment. That desperation comes across to me as her feeling weaker in character - on top of the visual effects of hairstyle/colour changing.

(Note that she may not truly be weaker since she recently revealed that she uses glasses for appearances anyway - indicating she's always been trying to appeal with her looks all along. It's the sudden change in pace of "Look at me!" that contributes to the emotion and feeling of weakening.)

As far as anime is concerned, I place a lot of emphasis on the surface (ie looks). I admit that.

While I don't agree with you that I failed to see past the surface (at least in this case), just because I can see beyond the surface doesn't mean it overrides the surface components (or that it contributes to the decision-making process in a relatively significant way).

And that means: I liked Sena before I even watched the show. She's hot, got long blond hair and has a nice hair accessory. After watching I still like her for pretty much the same reasons.

I liked Yosora a bit more after her haircut not because her attitude changed, but because she looked better.

Yukimura... I never treated her as a girl in my books, so he's in the "whatever" category.

Kobato's like a mini-Sena. And goth-loli wins.

Maria: never really liked nuns that much. Shitty, bratty character made it worse.

Rika: Never really clicked. The first change-up felt refreshing and better, but also made her less defined (glasses/simple-hairstyle/labcoat archetype) - yet that was alright.
