Social media (mainly thinking of Instagram and Facebook, not so much Twitter) is generally a highlight reel from maybe one percent of someone's life. You are very likely not the only person who thinks the way you do. And let's also keep in mind people these days can make a living from posting...

In the before times I would be telling you to get her an appointment with a colourist at a salon. If salons are open where you live, and you're comfortable doing this, I'd still suggest that. A professional will be able to get her where she wants to be with the least amount of damage possible...
