Following a job offer, a 29-year-old woman faced a huge dilemma. She was given an ultimatum: conceal her pink hair or seek employment elsewhere. Embracing the challenge, she devised a clever solution to the restriction, sparking widespread attention online.
Emily Benschoter turned to TikTok to share her journey at her new workplace, but with the twist that she can never show her pink hair while she’s on duty. She only found out the fact after she had already been interviewed and offered the position, a front-of-house role in the hospitality industry, because there was no prior contact with her employers in person or over video chat during the hiring process.
Her manager then suggested she wear a wig and that’s when she decided to pick the funniest ones she could find. Her first TikTok video with the first wig went up on July 19, 2023, and it read: «When you have pink hair, but corporate does not approve, so you wear terrible wigs.»
Since then, people have become invested in her wig choices and her clips have been viewed millions of times. «The worse the wig, the better,» she admitted in an interview. «It is a way to open up the conversation with the customers who think it is insane that I have to cover my pink hair.»
In the same interview, Benschoter also took time to explain why she didn’t just simply dye her hair instead. «Dying my hair for a job I work at for 40 hours per week wasn’t an option,» she revealed. «I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair, so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair.»
Despite her having fun with the situation, she doesn’t approve of it. «It’s dehumanizing that I can’t be accepted at face value because my hair is a non-traditional color,» she said. «It’s so superficial that my hair color is an obstacle.»
Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first time someone goes viral on social media because of hair trouble. A different woman also went viral on TikTok after a visit to the hairdresser went wrong. She ended up leaving the salon with a disastrous blowout and the before-and-after photos prompted a massive reaction from folks online. See the photos here.

“INAPROPRIATE”, Victoria Beckham’s Daughter Slip Dress Causes a Stir Online
Victoria and David Beckham‘s daughter caused a stir by wearing a slip dress to her mom’s 50th birthday party. Social media went wild, slamming the choice as inappropriate for her age.
Victoria Beckham recently celebrated her 50th birthday with a big feast. Her husband, David Beckham, and their kids – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper – joined in for the celebration, making it a memorable affair.
Harper’s outfit at Victoria’s birthday party stole the show and got everyone talking about fashion and dressing your age. Some thought she looked cute, while others thought she looked too grown-up. But hey, the mixed opinions added some extra buzz to the party.
One user expressed concern, saying, “It’s a shame Harper wasn’t wearing something more age-appropriate, including shoes. She’s growing fast and will soon be taller than her mother.”
Another wrote: “She is 12 years old… maybe something more suitable for her age to wear!” Yet another participant in the debate criticized the dress choices, particularly Harper’s, remarking, “Seriously bad dress choices. Harper’s outfit is odd for a 12-year-old; she’s having to bunch it up to avoid it being too revealing in the pictures…”
s dressed appropriately. It’s a formal occasion, and even her shoes are age-appropriate,” countered one fan. Others rallied behind Harper, stating, “Does it really matter what she’s wearing? She’s with her mum and dad. These comments are very petty.”
Harper’s been criticized for her outfit choice before; this isn’t the first time.
