No, I don't think either of these things is "stupid."  Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I think you're the first one to use that word.

On the other hand, there is something artificial about shaving or
keeping your hair styled.  I'm not making a value judgement, just
an observation.

The more artificial one's appearance, the more effort required to
maintain it.  There's a certain amount of wear and tear involved,
too.  Razors are not nice to faces, blow-dryers are not nice to
hair, and so on.

I like the idea of accenting, rather than covering up.  I also
like to avoid nuisance, and wear and tear.  So, I don't shave,
and I keep a simple haircut.  I find women who take a natural
approach to their appearance more attractive, too.
