I feel like bg wouldn’t have needed to recall the times in the past when sb mentioned that he really liked bg’s 943 hair (although sb’s said it enough times that bg would have always known this lol). We know that bg didn’t plan on dying his hair. He’d always say that he thinks he suits black hair the most, and even when he asked everyone around him whether they thought he looked better in black or bleached hair, 90% of them answered black. However, despite the landslide in votes and his lack of confidence in his bleached hair, he still went through with it. I think it’s very likely that it was largely because sb wanted it very badly.

Sb strongly advocated for bg to bleach his hair, and in the days leading up to bg’s final decision, sb repeatedly told bg that he thinks bg really suits bleached hair. Although sb didn’t share this himself, I’m almost certain he specified to bg exactly which style he wanted to see on him—that would have been the silver hair bg had during the 943 promotions. So, I think bg might have shared that sb was looking forward to his grey hair because he probably told this to bg recently.
