Question: Can your principal not allow you to dye your hair an odd color or wear heavy makeup and things like that if its not in the rules?
Answer: Public schools are allowed to adopt reasonable rules for student dress and grooming at school. As a general rule, if what you wear or the way you look is not prohibited by the school's rules, then you can do it.
There is, however, one important exception. Schools can always tell a student to change clothing or remove make-up if it causes a distraction or creates a health or safety concern.
Private schools have much more latitude with regard dress codes.
