There's nothing more nerve-wracking than heading to school on O-level results day to collect your exam scores. But some of these students evidently had other things to worry about — their dyed hair with hair black hairsprays.
In a TikTok video uploaded on Thursday (Jan 12), one student from a secondary school in Punggol, Elysia Lau, shared how she and her fellow schoolmates had to dye their hair black first before heading into the school hall to collect their results.
Some schools insist that their students turn up in full school uniform and with a proper haircut to collect their results, warning that no coloured or dyed hair will be accepted.
Armed with a flimsy plastic bag and a can of black hairspray, Lau, who had blonde highlights, and her friends created a makeshift salon in the middle of the school field.
While she was seated on the grass, her friends wrapped a plastic bag around her neck, and to partly cover her uniform from the hairspray stains.
Then, they whipped out the can of black hairspray and began colouring Lau's hair black.
