I believe there's an interview on one of the extras where the actress (whose name is escaping me, alas) talks about this. Basically, she likes to change her hair every now and then, and the hairdressers were having a hard time finding a suitable wig for continuity aspects or some such. So no, nothing to do with plot. At least that was true for earlier seasons. Don't know about Season Seven.
Fire bad. Tree pretty.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Well, I haven't traced it carefully, but did note that she was brunette at the beginning of S7 through Selfless and now, during Showtime, she's back to blonde which (I believe) she remains through the end.
It wasn't just the color, though - the styles kept changing too.
But given what xnera says, it may just be like Seth Green. Worked for the character, though.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Oh, it didn't bug me. If anything, it made me relate to Anya. Well that, and the Dance of Capitalist Superiority. (Which my employees at the store, to this day, don't seem to appriciate.)

OMG Lilty! You just made me almost do a noser with my water.

Hee!
Makes mental note to add phrase "Do a noser" to my vocabulary.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, was Anya's hair color directly related to her demon status, or did she just get a dye job according to how evil/good she was feeling that day?
Elena wrote a great fic dealing with this concept. (In essence, Xander got a sexual charge out of each of these changes.)

I think that fic's called "Pervert, Too."

OK- confirmation- we do see Giles' escape from Axe Dude. I also now know that the reason I didn't remember seeing it was because I never did- the flashback comes at the very first seconds of First Date, which I'm now seeing in its entirety for the first time.
