Blue Hair, Do Care....
6 Answers
Hi all!
Long time since I’ve visited here never mind posted!
My daughter is 16 & left school in July so naturally wanted to dye her hair blue! She went to the hairdressers and had it done properly. Bleached and dyed blue. Looked great, colour didn’t really fade over the coming weeks. As it got nearer to school starting We used the boxes from Superdrug that helps remove colour but the blue never really got less!
She is starting 6th form next week so went back to the hairdressers yesterday to have the blue removed. They bleached it twice and then put toner in so it is now a silver colour but in most lights it still looks blue! Just paler! They said it’s the best they can do & it will calm down.
We have silver shampoo and conditioner, she’s just washed it with head and shoulders in the hope it calms it down but it’s still ..well.. blue!
Anything we can do to calm it more? Or just any advice? I’m worried school won’t allow it even in 6th form, so what can she do to it esp as it’s been bleached?
Many thanx

As the new term approaches, there will probably be staff at the school/sixth form centre during the week. Why not give them a call on Monday to explain the situation and to see if there will be a problem.
6th form policies vary enormously. In dedicated sixth form colleges (which aren't part of a school) the policies are usually close those of universities. (i.e. anything is acceptable as long as it's not offensive or could otherwise annoy fellow students). In schools where there are very rigid rules applied to pre-6th form students the policies might be much stricter (because they don't want the sixth formers to 'set a bad example' to younger people).
In the (non-uniform) school I taught at, blue hair would be no problem at all. Indeed, I seem to remember that a cross-dressing male sixth-former (who must have spent a fortune on his dresses and make-up) actually went through a blue hair phase at one time!
