A friend has been dyeing her son's hair different colors all summer - first purple, then turquoise. Today is his first day of kindergarten, and I was surprised to see on fb that his hair is now bright pink.
I guess that means his school has no rules about hair color? Is that typical these days or are they just lucky?

Our school does not allow any fun hair colors at all. Several school districts around us can have fun hair as long as it's less than 25% of their hair, so you can do streaks, or dye the ends and it's allowed.
I don't think we have a policy about it but I haven't seen any young kids with hair color at our school. I've seen ms and hs kids with crazy hair so clearly they're allowed to do it.
Hmm, so no consensus. I guess if I see them this weekend and his hair is brown, I'll know what went down.
I went to Catholic school, so our dress code forbade things as simple as socks that weren't white, or shoes without white socks underneath. WHITE SOCKS ALWAYS REQUIRED.

My kid goes to a Christian school. We colored his hair blue about 6 weeks ago. I thought for sure they'd make him change it. We went to orientation last week and got tons of compliments on it and one teacher was like, "Blue hair!? How fun"! And then his first day of school was yesterday and I asked him if anyone said anything about his hair. He said yes. When pressed, he said that he got lots of compliments, but nothing about changing it.
I'm surprised, but it looks pretty cool, so I'm glad.
Our school doesn't seem to- one of DD's friends had a blue Mohawk for the first month of school last year, and is planning a green one for this year. I was leaning towards letting DD keep the ends of her hair turquoise when school started, but the color has faded enough that it's a moot point.

This is funny to me. Our regular uniform requires navy or black socks, but the gym uniform requires white socks with either white, black, blue or grey sneakers (with no other color, especially NEON, anywhere on the shoe, even the laces) and our principal always makes a big deal to point out the socks should be PURE white. Makes me laugh. Lol.
Actually, I'm pretty sure our dress code doesn't allow it, but Edith had fun colors braided in all last year and no one ever said anything. Maybe because I have severe RBF?

I miss uniforms. I wish I could wear one now. So much easier than putting an outfit together ever day

Some schools have the rule because the board insists but don't really care. At my mom's school it was prohibited but as long as it wasn't causing issues of some kind (which it never did) they didn't really care.
They took away the "natural colors only" sometime just after I graduated. It's such a dumb rule. My kids haven't asked for any colors but I've seen a few little girls with a streak of color or ombre tips.

We just took this rule out of our school rules. Students aren't distracted by it so the teachers told the admin it's not worth getting kids in trouble for. One of my students has the most awesome blue/green ombré right now. I'm kinda jealous
David's been to public, a charter and now private school and none of them allow it. David would never want to do it anyway, but I have no issue with kids have fun colored hair! I would encourage David to follow the dress code at his school, though.
His public school wouldn't even allow temporary color on FUN HAIR DAY!!! That is so dumb. Anyway, I suspect a lot of the "natural color" will be dropped from the dress code in the next several years. Some schools, like his charter last year was SUPER duper strict on dress code. They'd get demerits for not having their shirts tucked in for fucks sake.
