Hey there!
One of my very 1st completely digital artwork, based on a news' picture, the story was about a girl who was being threatened with expulsion from her school if she continued to sport her natural hairstyle...
You shouldn't be ashamed of your natural hairstyle, wear it proudly...
You're beautiful in your own way, don't let yourself be manipulated by the mass media's beauty standards, embrace your uniqueness and individuality, your happiness does not depend on external validation, stop comparing yourself to others and be free from this psychological social oppression...

Well from the sounds of your description it sounds like the person in question wasn't ashamed of their natural hairstyle, it's that the people in charge of the dress code policy or who were telling them that they would get expelled for having their hair as it was are contemptible idiots.
I like the music visualisation :)
