To ask for your help with dds hair please!

[Shitshow]

Teen DD has dyed her hair for Prom. She has just left year 11.
I will try and attach the picture of the colour.

In true shit timing a part time job she applied for ages ago and had given up and decided to just concentrate on college instead have messaged her offering an interview. Ironically my Mum paid for her nails to be done too which she never has sigh.

Her prom is 7 to 9pm and her interview is 9am the next day.
Aibu to ask what I can put on her hair that won't wreck it when it's already dyed to make it look more 'normal'

If I get a wash in brown or something is it going to look awful.
I literally have no idea on this stuff.

Help!

I've no idea but I'll give this a bump and hopefully theres a hairdresser about...

What job is she applying for? The colour doesn’t seem too extreme for most jobs.

Hair colour doesnt look extreme in any way. What kind of part time job would have issue with it? Presumably she can explain also.

I can’t think anyone interviewing a 16yr old will be put off by snazzy hair and nails?

It looks fine for a teenager.

Surely she can explain that it's been done for prom and if the job requires more natural hair colour she will dye it back.

Not that hair colour matters that much nowadays does it? I'm thinking of my dds friend who works in social care and has pink hair. My dd also dyes her hair frequently and has never had a problem. She's in retail.

I agree with PP, it's only a part time job not a career prospect and I wouldn't have thought the hair or nails would make a huge amount of difference anyway/

I can't see a problem with the hair colour.

I know a few people in professional, even client facing in one case roles who have very obviously unnatural hair colour by the way.

I’ve interviewed for entry level positions- honestly, it’s much more important that she arrives on time, presents herself neatly and answers the questions as best she can.

I can’t state enough how little a subtle hair dye and false nails would influence my decision!

Looks like a reasonable hair colour to me.

I would leave it alone because trying to recolour it at 7am before an interview is likely to be very stressful, particularly if it goes wrong.

Yeah, you're definitley overthinking this.

I work in an Executive Office at an NHS Trust and have had my hair bright pink and mermaid green - no one batted an eye (the CEO even complimented me on my hair ).

As long as she is courteous and confident, I think she'll be fine!

The colour is fine. Just put it up in a bun for the interview.

Poor girl, having a 9am interview after a big night out

Whats the job? If its the usual sort of teen part time job (ie retail, food service etc) it'll be fine.

In my experience, the vast majority of part time minimum wage jobs tend to be fine with any hair colour, piercings, tattoos etc. All of the stuff that might put a more "professional" workplace off tends to fly just fine at entry level.

On the off chance its something like a very high end restaurant, things might be different, but if she'd already given up on getting the job then why worry? Maybe she'll get it anyway, maybe she won't and focus on college instead.

Plus if you start messing with it she might end up with brown-stained ears/neck. #gotthetshirt

I don't use that particular dye but that's pretty much what colour my hair is.

I run my own business in a professional client facing role.

Before that I did the same role for a large (top 10) UK practice.

No one cared about the colour of my hair.

Leave it alone, as another PP said you'll potentially make it worse and stress her out more - I would just tie it back in a sleek ponytail or neat bun.

That colour dye wont affect her chance at a job offer, at all. And anyone that says it will needs to give their head a wobble and change their attitude at work, rapidly.

Thanks

It's a food service place and it says on the info on line natural colour only.
Someone has said they were turned down with purple hair.

She was going to bun and clip it as her fringe makes it look more in your face than it is!

Ddil was told to change her hair colour and she had something similar.

That won’t be a problem. It’s hardly a unicorn Mohawk.

I have all sorts of colors from lilac, to pale ice blue, to shocking red.... I work in a FTSE 100 organization at management level.

If it's a part time job for a student she's probably fine, tbh, unless she's directly contravening a uniform policy- and they can ask her to change in line with that for a start date. As long as she looks tidy and the hair in question is brushed and styled neatly, she should be fine. Might be less full on if it's up?

I used to do hiring & firing in retail and that hair colour wouldn't have put me off hiring an otherwise suitable candidate. We had someone with a mohawk, facial piercings and a LOT of tatts. She was awesome! I was also at a v posh ball last month, v strict dress code, and someone rocked up with a very dark pink updo. There was more fuss over her wearing a tiara whilst unmarried than the hair it was crowning!

I wouldn't work somewhere that didn't allow me to dye my hair. Says a lot about the kind of employer they're likely to be.

Also, she probably won't go because she'll be too hungover so I wouldn't panics

As long as it is tied up or back neatly it seems somewhat extreme to expect it to be natural coloured. She could always offer to change it in due course.
