You're acting as if Steph made the worst move ever for her brand and I'm pointing out that for many the constant change in their lives have actually made them more interesting to the public.
You're operating under the assumption that many people think as deeply as you do about who they vy for. For many it just comes down to likeability. Celebrities can be a major "f--k up" as you kindly put it, even be horrid (see: Donald Trump) but still be very likable and so therefore enjoy fame, success and fortune throughout their entire careers.
I would argue Steph's variability/volatility is very much her brand. It's one of the main reasons I found her a favorite this season. Elizabeth Taylor had all sorts of drama (and marriages) throughout her life and yet she is a legend.
TDLR: Her hair color is at best a statement, but it doesn't define who she is as a person, much less her brand. Many celebrities change is more fundamental ways (see: sex change/sexual preference) and yet still enjoy great success.
