Should I keep the blue hair?

As the title subjests, I am currently deciding whether I should keep my blue hair or change it back to a normal colour. This wouldn't normally be a problem except I have a job interview tomorrow (then another on Tuesday), hence the problem.

It's in the middle, more of a mid to slightly dark blue. It does look really bright when standing in direct sunlight though.

The blue hair might be an advantage in an interview situation. One thing you need to do is be memorable...
If you think you can ace the interview, I'd suggest keeping it.

This would basically depend on two things.
1/ What type of job your going for.
2/ Do you really want the job.

I think I should do alright in it. I also have more confidence with the blue hair.
The position is for a fitter/machinist (apprentice)

I don't think blue hair will affect an interview for that position

For an apprentice postion, I'd suggest going back to a natural colour. Many tradesmen rate apprentices slightly lower than algae and won't hesitate to knock you back if they think you're going to slack off. Blue hair could be enough to give the the wrong first impression.

Don't change who you are for work purposes.
I too have the dyed/colured hair going on, It can be a hinderance, but it can be a benefit.
If they remember you and your not an arsehole you are halfway there. having bright hair makes you easy to rememeber!

Interviews over and the blue hair helped relax the atmosphere. This was actually the second stage, about 5 people for 2 positions. Some people there had remembered me from before because of the hair, which helped a lot. It was estimated to go for 40 minutes but went to just under a hour.

that doesnt mean a single thing. did you get the job or not? ive come out of a few interviewas that have gone for hours, talking to the interviewers for ages, joking around etc etc and was 99.9% sure i got the job, and i'd never hear from them again!

Dude i big fuck off 5 inch tall bright orange mow hawk for about 5 months and i loved it. I also then when blue.
I rekon if some one wont employ you because of the colour of your hair they arnt worth working for.
My boss then moved on to another establishment and 2 months later called me and asked me to fill a position.
All you have to do is be a good worker and have your how ever you like (unless its gonna get caught in a machine).
My 2 cents.
