So my hair is currently blue and silvery (as you can see from my profile picture) and I've just found out I have a family funeral to attend next week. I'm not sure if my hair is suitable for the occasion. My grandma who hates it anyway said that it's too disrespectful and I should get rid of it. I'm not sure what to do, I don't want to show my side of the family up. I mean it's not like I'm going to show up half naked, I am a respectable person just my hair is blue. Any advice and/or opinions are greatly appreciated :)

I think that your hair should be your decision. Personally, I believe that you should keep your hair the color it is but to make your grandmother happy, you can style your hair in a very pretty and classic way. I hope this helps!

I think it should be fine, I would maybe wear it up in a bun. I find when I have unnatural colors in my hair, people take less notice to it when I pull it up in a top knot or sock bun or something, instead of when I leave it down and long (i also tend to constantly touch and play with my hair when its down so that may draw more attention to it). And as Mandi said, I would keep the outfit and makeup simple.
I'm studying to become a funeral director, I don't have much experience but none of my experienced professors or classmates have neither mentioned anything about my various hair colors over the past year of my color changes nor have they mentioned anything about anyone attending a funeral with different hair colors causing a problem or being disrespectful. You should be fine!

I think u should keep the color but maybe put it up or something so its not all over the place and more noticeable

Thanks so much guys! I've decided a sock bun is the best way to go.

I also plan on wearing this dress with black tights and some form of shoes just depending on the weather.

Your grandma is prob just old fashion which isn't bad but just go as who you are and the way you act is how you will be respectable to the person who passed not the way you look

That's a great idea Jade! I'm glad I could help :) I'm sure you'll look great!

I think your hair is gorgeous, and it's a part of who you are. The fact that you're questioning whether or not it's appropriate at least shows that you care, which is nice... but you shouldn't change it. I bet whoever passed away (I'm so sorry to hear that.) would want you to be yourself. :)
