what would be the most accepable unnatual hair colour that i could have and still look responsable enough when im job hunting?

Probably red. At my last job my friend dyed his hair bright red and said that the only reason we was able to was because red is a natural color too.

i was thinking about red acctually but like really bright and i was worried that it might affect my chanced of getting work and it dosent help that the town i live in has nowhere hiring.

I agree on red, the darker the better. You can usually get away with a box dye plum too.

ive applied for a job and ben to an interview and was told that they have no restrictions on hair coloursi if i get the job i can hve my lovley random colours back ^-^

That is great...hopefully you get the job. It seems like maybe a lot of places are letting their guard down regarding hair color. I say, why not let people express themselves. Crazy color looks nice & is refreshing. I've seen people with "normal colored" hair that looks terrible. Crazy color=style. We are not robots!!!

Cancankant- There are some jobs where vibrantly colored hair wouldn't be appropriate, you've gotta conciede that point. Funeral director, for instance....

Very true most jobs will not let a person be a person with their colorful hair. Red is easier because their are many redheads in the world. Blue black also a good bet to be natural and yet the blue inside gives more shine than a flat black. Auburn is part brown and red, which is also a natural color. Burgundy is also a natural color though some prudes have argued with me at other jobs I have had and tired to cause me grief. Good luck!

What would YOU say if the funeral director or lawyer or school principal had crazy colored hair, but still acted professionally? What about tattoos? Piercings? I agree that professionalism is key, but I would argue that your conduct is most important. Yeah, I'm not sure I'd want say, my defense attorney, to show up to a hearing in Birkenstocks & dreadlocks, but a three piece suit and neatly done dreads? Sure, why not?

I had an old roomate that was an executive for Harley Davidson. She looked very conservative when she went to work, but she was anything but. She was literally covered with tattoos, and her boyfriend, another high ranking HD exec, was fully tattooed (all but his hands, feet, and face). So, while I'll agree that some professions will not accept someone with bod mods or a wild hair color, it's a cultural thing. I'd argue that none of those things matter if the person can do their job.

There's even been cases of women suing their employer for FORCING them to comply to cultural standards and wear makeup at work. Because the same employer forced men to shave and not wear facial hair, it was deemed that the standards were "equivalent". So employers can make their own rules, but I can disagree with them. I personally would not work for a company that forced people to wear makeup. Dress codes I can do, I'll comply reasonably with standards for grooming, but as for makeup, I wear it when I feel like it. That's it.

I sincerely feel that some of the standards set by employers are really behind the times. Employers are seeing that and slowly changing. Now, I'm not saying that there is going to be a ton of pierced, tattooed, mohawk sporting tax attorneys, but really why should anyone care? Does he get you your deductions?
