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.

Apparently your school is only interested in the appearance of a good education.

That sucks, op. My hair's naturally really curly and quite frizzy, basically looks like an 80's perm, so I had to straighten it as they wouldn't believe it was natural. They never told me to do it, but if I didn't and came in with it natural I'd have to go straight to the head teacher's office for a lecture of "so you've gone and got a perm again...".

Is it in their written student policy that you can only have certain hair colors? If not, get a lawyer and get out of that shithole school. And if so, tell them that they need to start shelling out money for hair dye because there's no way you should be paying for something you don't agree with. You already pay for the shit they teach you in schools. You don't need this added bullshit.

That's so stupid... I'd get out of that ******* school. When I was still in highschool, my parents made me go to a all girls catholic school. i wasn't allowed to wear make up, wear nail polish or have weird-colored hair. I was so sick of it that mid-way through the year, i just dyed my hair the color i wanted it to be (blonde) got a manicure, put my make up on, and sat in class. The teachers were ecstatic, lol :) but anyway, i stayed in that shit hole for 5 months, worst shit everrrrrrrr

Thats total bull crap! But i bet you're a redhead. Both my neices are and the oldest has bright red, especially by the end of summer since she's outdoors a lot. Her scool tried to force her to dye her hair but her folks threatened to get the aclu involved.

Sounds like it's time to lodge a formal complaint in writing to their board or dean or whatever, by your parents.
