A ten-year-old girl was sent home from school after her instructors said that her hair, which was reminiscent of Cruella de Vil, was “distracting” to other students.
In anticipation of Melanie Martinez’s Manchester show later this month, Evie Smith parted her mousy brown hair in half and bleached it blonde.
The popular split-dye hairdo of the American singer-songwriter, which was inspired by Cruella de Vil from the popular movie 101 Dalmatians, has made her renowned.
However, on the first day of classes at Blackpool, Lancashire’s Kincraig Primary School, Evie was sent home.
The school told her that before she could go back, her hair had to grow back to its original color.
