What's your thoughts on girls with pink hair?

So the opinion is the first part. The factual part is only implied in the last two lines of the original post, and clarified in the edit, which is that people will judge you for having pink hair, sometimes negatively.

Now, in terms of sources, I'm not aware of any funded pink hair judgment studies, but if you use common sense, you can see that people do judge one another for all sorts of things, and many times unconsciously. The judgments don't have to be negative - 'She seems like fun!', 'Wow she is less inhibited than I am and that's great' - but those are still judgments. Common sense might also tell you that older generations were less likely to have dyed pink hair. I know it's an empirical stretch but you might agree when we're talking about people born before 1960, perhaps? Some of these people don't see tattoos or piercings or dyed hair in quite the same light as people born later. So while I don't have any numbers for you, I think that the assertion that there will be judgment, some of it negative, and much of it from older folks, isn't really in need of statistical backing.

As to the downvoting - if you don't like the opinion (Lines 1-5), then you don't have much reason to downvote. The question is looking for opinions. If you don't like the implication and later explicit statement about judgment, I think you're just being obtuse, and again have no reason to downvote.
