There were kids in my high school back in the 80s with hair like that. Several of them. No problems reported.

It would be one thing if her hair were bright pink, or shaped into 6” spikes. Threatening her over that hairstyle is beyond intolerant. Were I the parent, I’d inform the school that I expected to see every girl there cut their hair short as well, or they’d be hearing from a lawyer. Just because her hair doesn’t lay utterly flat (i.e. like a caucasian or asian’s would) is no reason to demand it be cut or else.

Or they could ban big hair altogether as a safety issue.

My good friend from back in the eighties had hair just like this... If she did nothing to take care of it. This girls hair looks clean, but not combed or taken care of. There's got to be snarls throughout. If she just washed her hair and put in a little detangler and leave in conditioner, used a hair pik to settle it down, it would be fine.

If you're attending a religious school, most of the time you are expected to dress and keep your appearance up to certain standards.

Oh yeah, in fact way bigger ‘fros than that gal has. And those were just the Jewish guys.
