Nope, it isn't discrimination. There are zero laws that say that schools, employers, businesses, or services can't discriminate based on non-ethnicity physical appearance (e.g. hair color, tattoos, clothing). Schools have the ability to define their own dress code, from hair dye to the color of your shoelaces. Chances are, it is written in your student code of conduct. Either deal with the consequences of breaking the rules (where the school has every right to deem purple hair a distraction and bring on disciplinary action), or save yourself the trouble and get rid of it. School isn't the place for "self-expression" or acts of rebellion; you're there to learn and build a foundation for your future. You have decades ahead of you where you can dye your hair whatever crazy color you can think of. Skip the hassle and focus on your academics.

Don't try color oops or any hair stripping products, they aren't made to work on vegetable stains (unnatural colored hair dyes) and I learned that the hard way.
wash with either a clarifying shampoo or a mixture of original formula head &shoulders dandruff shampoo mixed with equal parts baking soda to remove some of the color. Those always work for me. It may take a little while, but as long as I do some hair masks or deep condition my hair afterwards, it has left my hair in much better condition than bleaching or "stirpping" colors out of my blonde hair.
I have had areas of colors that I've "tucked" into the rest of my hair just by bobby pinning the pieces and leaving my natural colored hair down, falling over those tucked in pieces. you could try that while you are in the process of fading the purple

Haha so many experiences with this! I normally cover it up with hair pins and pin over the colour bits. Or put it in a sock bun and then pin blonde over the purple areas.

Well, my school has strict rules on dying your hair lol. But there are ways to hide it. Maybe use a bandana to cover it? Although I think it's easier just to dye it back to your natural hair colour. Getting in trouble with your school over your hair isn't worth it. :) Cute dog btw.

^^^ do you go to private or public school?? If it's public it shouldn't be a problem cause when I transferd to public after private all the soccer team dyed there hair red no problem, the ASB girls dyed it blue and multi colors no problem... At my private school you couldn't even have Regular highlights or facial hair -_-

That's great that you want to express yourself. However, there is a lesson that you are perhaps too young to have learned: pick your battles. A silly purple streak that you will change in a couple weeks anyway isn't worth a disciplinary record affecting your college admissions later, nor your parents wasting time and energy fighting the school district about a long-established rule. So yes, self-expression does have a time and place, just like everything else.

Ok. I think I'm old enough to learn what battles to pick. don't judge if you don't know my age.

And I've already been accepted to colleges and my parents didn't need to call. I appreciate your opinion but it's quite evident that you are assuming what the school will do.

Before you get defensive, I suggest you re-read what I wrote. I gave no judgement of you, expressed no opinion of you. I was trying to demonstrate to you and especially to those that are calling upon you to fight the school's rule that it isn't worth it, because the benefits don't outweigh the consequences.
I didn't assume what the school would do, and I didn't say you wouldn't get accepted to colleges. I gave examples of how fighting for something as frivolous as hair dye CAN negatively impact you.
