You could make the argument that when people raid and loot they only get the *beep* that's 100% needed. The obvious being food, water, ammo, guns, med supplies.
No one would concern themselves with things like hair dye, which means if you really wanted to chances are extremely likely that stuff would still be sitting on the shelf. So them being able to obtain that stuff isn't surprising. Women wanting to keep up their appearance also shouldn't be all that surprising. In a zombie apocalypse that's been happening for years there's no new movies, tv shows and electricity would depend entirely on your camp's situation. So needless to say grooming your eyebrows isn't exactly something that requires a professional or any type of tools. All it would take is time, something people would have that's just sitting at camp all day.
People that have a base camp that has running well water and electricity rather it be solar or wind will be able to wash their clothes no problem. Being able to loot clothes from stores also wouldn't be a problem.
I find that people who complain about this stuff have very little critical thinking skills..
For example, just think about how long a single tube of toothpaste last you for. Now imagine going to a deserted store, heading to the back to find everything still in boxes. Just a case of toothpaste would be enough to last you probably for the rest of your life (assuming there's a drastic decrease in life expectancy). So that would explain decent dental hygiene in an 'apocalypse'.

My critical thinking skills are solid and likely stronger than yours. I work in wardrobe and was commenting from that perspective alone. But hey,if you need to insult my intelligence,by all means little one,take it if you need it.

They didn't insult your intelligence, dimwit. They said you have a problem with critical thinking, which is true. You consider yourself a "professional", so in your mind you will ALWAYS be correct on this subject. There are unlikely scenarios where grooming is possible, but none of those scenarios will sway your opinion. So anybody addressing what you actually wrote is wasting their time.
Sometimes you just have to give the benefit of the doubt that things existing on screen have a logical explanation. If you really want, you can make up an explanation. Know-it-alls are incapable of that.
Personally, I'm going with the anime explanation: that's just the color of her hair for no reason.
