Or was she trying to show off how good she looks in wet clothes to Araragi? Hm....

In the Monogatari world, metaphors have power. Hanekawa has the intellects of a supervillain, but by dying her hair she "disguised herself as an ordinary person".
And this, has the very real effects of suppressing her own supernatural intellect.
By washing the hair and restoring "her true self", Hanekawa was able to employ her full powers.
Note that her striped hair is entirely supernatural; no matter how she dye it the day before, every morning it would become stripped once again. Once one touched the supernatural in Monogatari, one could never become normal ever again. But there are perks that came with that.
