Today, yet again, I had to dye my hair brown in advance of the new school year, because my school doesn't allow "unapproved" colors, even if they're natural. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bleached my hair for the new school year. Instead of blonde, it came out orange, making my hair look like a bloated pumpkin. FML
Today, I walked into school confident about the new hair color I'd had done over the weekend. My drama teacher apparently dyed her hair the same color; everyone noticed and thought I'd copied her. FML
Today, I decided I wanted to dye my hair a medium brown. Little did I know, some jerk switched the hair dye boxes. My hair is now bright orange. FML
Today, I let my daughter dye her hair pink. I got an email from her school stating that the hair color violated the school dress code as it's “distracting,” and she will not be allowed to attend classes until she changes it. We do school over Zoom. Not sure how her hair distracts on a screen. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. FML
Today, I colored my hair. It was supposed to turn out blonde, but it became more a mix of red and brown and blonde patches. When I tried coloring everything back, a green tint was added. My hair is at the moment red, brown, blonde and green. FML
Today, as always, my mother hates my life choices. Particularly my hair for some reason. As she's always whinging about it being dyed blonde, I dyed it back to my natural colour again to appease her, and stop the constant bullying. She hates it. FML
Today, it's been a month since the hair dye that was supposed to be temporary is still making my hair tropically green, now with some added roots making it look even worse. FML
Today, I learned that my hair color is classified as "Buttered Toast". FML
Today, in an effort to save money, I dyed my hair at home. I used the wrong shade, or brand, or maybe I shouldn’t have bought a cheap one, but now I look like a mutant traffic cone. My boss asked if I was “expressing myself” or “just having a midlife crisis.” I can’t afford to fix it, so I’m stuck like this for weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What color is your hair naturally? ._.

They can't make you dye your hair... That doesn't make sense or seem right at all. You go to a religious school or something? Which still doesn't make sense considering that's the color God gave you. FYL.

If your hair is natural, they have no legal right to tell you to die your hair, private school or not. Story seems fake, sorry.

Are they even allowed to do that?

Yup. If they think it isn't "natural" they can....my school is the same way. We can't color our hair colors that don't look natural, no facial piercings, and we can't wear anything with stripes. Just solid color polos. Yet we can have tatoos -__- at my old school, girls had to wear skirts. We couldn't wear jeans or shorts or capris. If we did we got sent home

Wait. No stripes? What exactly is so bad about wearing stripes?

OP! Tell us your natural hair color! Whitish-blondish? I'm wondering.

That is absolutely horrible and honestly, a bit racist. SUE.

Discriminatory, yes. Racist, no. Are they even able to sue without getting kicked out of the courthouse and being made a laughingstock? No.

Sparks808 is right they can't force you to dye your hair. You could take this to court. They can't make you dye your hair because they don't like your natural color
