A few weeks ago I auditioned for a modeling agency. They called me back on Monday telling me I needed to dye my hair an homogeneous color because that "ombre color looks terrible on camera". I've always had dirty blonde hair, it usually gets lighter due to sun, heat and chamomile shampoo, but my roots are a lot darker. They sent me the photos and I agreed with them. So I went to the hairdresser (a good one, I love my hair :'( ) and asked them if they could dye it the same color as my roots.
Long story short, I trusted them and it turned out brown. It's not even light, it's a very dark brown. When I called the lady from the agency and told her what happened she made me understand that they want me to have blonde hair (she didn't even see me, and they didn't tell me I had to dye my hair blonde before, they just said "make it homogeneous"). She suggested that I should get my hair dyed AGAIN.
The hairdresser (another one, of course :/ ) told me that my hair is too thin and that I really shouldn't dye it again so soon if I don't want to "end up bald".

Should I do what the lady said or should I tell them I don't want to dye it again? It's my first time doing anything like this and I really don't know if it's like "do it or you won't get the job" or "we'd prefer if you did that, but it's okay either way".

Basically, like how plus size models are becoming more normalized and whatnot.
Ashley Graham made headlines when she was featured in that Sports Illustrated magazine.
Tess Holliday also made a name for herself in the plus and modeling community.

Then there are these models posting break downs about how much scars they have and how it's damaging to think they're perfect etc.

Do you like the "normal/average" models or do you prefer them to be the best of the best?

Personally, I feel like a lot of the "diverse" models are just being shoehorned in for "diversity sake". It's kinda like AA, where the minority/women quota just means they get mediocre people as opposed to the more qualified. I'm not saying that minorities can't be qualified, however. Just that many mediocre make the cut because of a quota.

But I feel that's what's happening with these models too. Sure, don't feel bad that you have scars or stretchmarks. But I don't see why it's so necessary to keep emphasizing it. It's starting to become cliche. Don't get me wrong, a lot of them are beautiful and talented. But not all yet they still make it because of their "diversity novelty".

And call me shallow, because I am, but I don't want to see someone like me modeling. Acne is not attractive lol
I want to see someone attractive modeling so I can imagine it's best potential. Those sexy panties or dress or whatever, I want to see it on a hot chick so I can *feel* like a hot chick too when I buy it lol
I am glad that they are cutting back on photoshop though. And I am glad they're including "diverse" beauties like Ashley Graham, yes I think she's extremely attractive. I just don't care much for when it's "forced".

Keep in mind that all this diversity and body positivity gave us this goddess lol:
