This is because you need everyone who meets you or sees you to say "oh, that guy with the lumberjack beard, that's so-and-so."
I know a couple artists who have been doing this successfully for 20-odd years. One has a funky haircut and always wears a bright yellow jacket.[0] Great artist though.
You can also do it with things other than your hair and wardrobe. A certain German artist made it big and for the first 10 years or so had:
A) only one size of painting
B) a reputation as "painfully shy"
C) uh, Germanness (German painting was and is A Thing)
