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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 you go to a public school, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen if I've ever heard one.

dyeing your hair damages it. Report this.

Wow...that has to be illegal on so many levels....racism, not making you feel comfortable and proud of your natural body, bullying, favouritism...I don't think I could go there and just dye my hair. I'd rather be homeschooled or go to a 'worse' school or something. This is behaviour is so entirely wrong from a standard workplace let alone a place of children's education and development.

USA : cannot have the unapproved hair color in class, but can buy a gun at 21… Well, one must have priorities…

I thought my school was strict! Bear in mind that, being England, there is a strict uniform on top of this. Only one supplier that you could buy from (until 6th form), and they were very smart suit-type things. At mine, boys weren't allowed sleepers in their ears (not studs, it's just to keep a piercing open). Girls were not allowed to wear trousers until year 12 (aged 16). Boys were allowed black or navy gloves/scarf in the winter, girls were only allowed navy gloves/scarf. Girls could have hairbands black, navy or white. Jumpers could be black, grey, or burgundy. Someone got a massive telling-off for wearing a grey jumper in year 12, but they proved that they were allowed to wear one from the uniform code! Boys had to had a typical hair length; very short or long hairstyles were not permitted. I saw a boy getting told off badly for his hair, which was an inch or two from shoulder-length. But I managed to wear black converses for the entirety of 6th form (year 12 & 13, aged 16-18), so ha, no-one noticed. After all that.. they would have never made someone dye their hair from its natural colour. That's bloody ridiculous.

All that dye can have very damaging long term effects on the overall health if your hair. And the only reason you have to risk that is because they said so? Buck the system OP.

What sort of redneck fundamentalist christian hillbilly school do you go to? Do they teach you what wood is best to make burning crosses or how the world is flat?
