GAH! Why?

So my mate and I are living with her mom right as of the moment. Her and her mom don't exactly see eye to eye, and this leads to yelling matches.
The latest yelling fight was over My Mate's hair color (since I shouldn't give her name out online, I'll just call my mate "Bunny" for now). Bunny's hair color was (Originally her hair is like brown or something, but she dyed it black for me) black, and her mother didn't like it all that much but didn't say much about it.
Bunny wanted to dye her hair blond. Her mother said that would be a nice color. So she goes to bleach her hair (which started smelling like french fries I might add) and ends up getting her roots to look blond, and he mid-ends of her hair brown/black and bronze in-between.
Well, we both think it looks hot! Her mom.... doesn't. They both got into an argument about what a proper hair color is... and then the argument escalated into a yelling match that lasted for several hours.
My question is... Is it ok to be a 21 year old (Oh! should probably the only reason we are living with her mom is because we keep moving into apartments and getting screwed [with a broom] by the landlords), living with your mom (or living with your mate's mom), and dye your hair?

A friend of mine loves to dye her hair all sorts of like rainbow colorz; the bolder, the better.
Quite frankly, if your mate is 21, she has every right to do whatever she likes; regardless of where she stays (within reason, of course). Not like say, oh, playing "Find the Load-Bearer" with a Sledgehammer for fun, or something; but her hair color shouldn't be that much of an issue. Not to sound rude; but that kind of censorship, and even saying 'proper hair color' makes her mom sound like some 55-year-old lady who's lived under a rock for the past few decades.
Now back to the aforementioned color; it's like a cascading gradient from Blonde to Black? That sounds freaking awesome to me ^^
My own mother wouldn't have complained too much. She used to help me dye my hair back in high-school. I've had it gradient mahogany to blonde before, and once we dyed it burgundy red... and treated it with a temporary 'perm'... it ended up purple with pale pink stripes for about a month.
Since then, I've gone the extremes with colors... and I finally settled back on my natural color.
However, you tell her mother that one of your friends has a LOT of experience with hair coloring and bleaching, and that if you want "Bunny" to have hair at all, at least that doesn't go 'fro on her... that she should stop doing anything for at least 3 months, and THEN treat it. Treating your hair too often will make it brittle and break off.
