The patriarchy hurts men too, and capitalism screws everyone

Why is men's hair dye way more expensive than women's? That makes no sense whatsoever. If anything, you'd think it would be cheaper.

P.S. I am awesome at dyeing hair.

Surely it's because they make more money than women. Because there is less selection and with less selection the consumer is willing to pay more for a "rarity".

As for the Patriarchy hurting men... I'm sure they don't mind working longer hours, so that can pay for more sex.

I like the idea of progressive hair dye pricing.

Then why do they pay less for haircuts and dry-cleaning?

No no, since vanity is driven by the objectification of bodies, this has to be determined by more than pure economics or supply/demand curves.
