Yeah, I believe Shinkawa put that idea out there around the time of MGS2, but it has no real basis in canon. Besides, any bleached hair would surely have grown out by the time of MGS1, but I guess stranger things have happened in series.

Snake does look fair haired in the MGS1 briefing, but he never mentions dying it (cutting it, yes). But in the Twin Snakes briefing it looks brown. I'm thinking it was just a color error in 1. It may just be the style of Shinkawa's art. Meryl's hair looks quite fair in her Codec portrait, but her character model's is much darker.
