A father is fuming after his daughter was sent home from school for having her hair styled with long bright white dreadlocks.

Darren Benson, 39, has given teachers at George Pindar School the hairdryer treatment after 13-year-old Chanise Benson caused a stir with her hairdo.

He splashed out £140 for her to have the style for her sister's birthday during the half term break. But she was sent home from school when she went back.
