Well, I feel slightly guilty for loving my short, stylin haircut that I have to get trimmed up all the time, because it costs more money than the long hair with which I felt frumpy.
But I think I, er, have some guilt problems anyway.
We all want to look certain ways. Most people make efforts to maintain certain appearance. There is a whole spectrum of levels of maintenance of appearance, and I think all are fine until it starts really affecting one's behavior/priorities. (for example, someone who wouldn't leave the house because their hair wouldn't do right strikes me as being vain.) Like fairyhead said the other day, you are far from unhealthily fixated on your appearance. Hell, if you were a vain person, I doubt you would have sat in your living room with hair dye on your head. :-)
Just my curiousity... what do you want to look like? Is it something you can articulate, or just something that you'll know when you get there?
