I think that the “rules” about hair color…for girls AND boys have changed. Of course, I went to a school run by ancient women dressed in black so we couldn’t even wear nail polish, forget dying your hair.
When I was in high school (1963-66) parents were throwing their sons out of the house because they grew their hair long.

So I decided that as long as 1) it’s not permanent–no tattoos, no more piercing beyond 2 holes in each ear, and 2) she pays for it, it’s ok.
