I want to get a small purple streak underneath my layers and will be visible on the longer part of my hair, but my manager told me I won't be scheduled if the purple can be seen. It's only a tiny bit and I really want to do it, any suggestions on how to hide the streak at work? I was thinking of clipping the streak up higher underneath my layers but want more ideas. Thank you!

That's a bummer ): I honestly wouldn't want to work with a manager who's rules are that ridiculous. What job are you applying for? I'd just pin the piece up as you said.

I think the higher up thing would work. However, I would advise you to just follow the dress code and NOT risk it. A little life advice, no hair dye is worth loosing your job over... One day you might be able to do it but right now it probably isn't a good idea, no matter how much you want it

I absolutely think it's possible to hide, and it's ridiculous that your manager has such strict rules especially with a small highlight. You could 1. Buy a clip in purple highlight, and use as many as your like or 2. Get your highlight, and for work braid it, and then wrap it around itself in almost a little bun and pin it underneath your hair! If it's just one it definitely won't be hard to hide

It's more of the company's rules and my manager has to enforce it, I've been working as a courtesy clerk at a grocery store for about 10 months. I'm also 17 so it's not a serious Job and I'm also at an age where I should be allowed to have a bit of creativity.

And I love that idea Brittany, it'd work out great.

I agree with Brittany. Just get a clip in. It'll also save you the hassle of damage and recoloring it. But if you're set on dying it, make sure you won't be able to see it in a ponytail either, or else you'll go insane not having that option. (So don't do it around your hairline) best of luck to ya!

Hair chalk or a clip in is a great idea. I agree!

I just tried hair chalk today and hated it, I have thick and long hair so it takes me awhile to do it and I hate the texture it makes my hair feel.

Aww...it is messy for me so I gave it up, but my friend loves it. You can't go wrong with a hair clip. Hope you find one you dig and come back to show us.
