This 25-year-old woman was asked to be a bridesmaid in her 24-year-old friend Zoe’s Wedding, which is set to take place in December 2024. So, just a few days ago, the whole bridal party got together to discuss the plan for dresses, Hair, and makeup.

At first, Zoe’s requests all seemed reasonable, too. Her friend envisions having a winter wonderland-themed wedding, so the bridesmaids will all wear different shades of blue dresses that are lined up as a gradient. As for accessories, Zoe pictured silver accents, soft makeup, and snowflake jewelry.

Finally, her friend wanted the bridesmaids who did not have blue eyes to wear blue contacts.

“The last one’s a bit weird, but it’s no big deal to me. I’ve worn color contacts for Halloween,” she said.

However, her friend wound up revealing one more request– which she just could not appease. Apparently, Zoe wanted everyone to get their hair dyed.

For context, Zoe is a natural blonde who wants to dye her hair platinum for the wedding. A few other bridesmaids are also already natural blondes.

But, the rest of the bridal party is comprised of two brunettes (including her), one strawberry blonde, and one redhead. It’s crucial to note that she is also the only bridesmaid who has never dyed her hair.

“I’ve considered it, but I can never stay settled on what I want to do, and I’d hate to spend money on something I end up hating,” she explained.

Not to mention, when she was between the ages of 5 and 13, her mom would flat iron her hair nearly every day. All of that heat really damaged her hair, and she believes that’s why her hair is thinner now than in the past.

And since she knows that bleaching can also damage hair, she just isn’t comfortable taking another risk like that with her hair health.

So, she was honest with Zoe and admitted that she wouldn’t be able to go blonde for the wedding. But, rather than being understanding, her friend just insisted that it would be fine since her hair appeared pretty healthy. She also found out that Zoe planned to pay for everyone’s hair coloring appointments.

Regardless, she just was not interested, so she thanked Zoe for the offer but stuck to her guns.

“I also asked if I could just wear a wig, and Zoe said no, that wigs are cheap and unnatural, and she wants us to have our real hair bleached instead of some cheap imitation for the day,” she revealed.

This pushed her and Zoe to get into a back-and-forth argument, and eventually, her friend told her that she should just go home. She got accused of ruining Zoe’s vision and ruining the photos and wedding video– which will be shown to her fiancé’s grandparents, who cannot fly in from Argentina to attend the event.

Anyway, after that, she just paid for her meal, apologized to Zoe, and headed home. And since then, she’s been at a total loss about what to do.

“I really don’t want to dye my hair, but I also don’t want to ruin Zoe’s picture-perfect day,” she vented.

So now, she’s been left wondering whether refusing to bleach her hair for her friend’s wedding is actually unreasonable or not.

How would you feel if you were forced to dye your hair to be at a friend’s bridal party? Do you think her friend’s request was reasonable or not? Would you go along with it or back out of the wedding? What should she do?
