I don't have a problem with the employer's actions at all. Just because you're doing something "for a good cause" doesn't mean you can ignore the rules of maintaining a professional appearance at your workplace. The boss was even flexible enough to tell the employee that he could keep his pink hair so long as he covered it with a hat while working.
I have a friend who printed t-shirts that said "Cancer can kiss my ass!" and sold them to raise money for charity. Should I have been allowed to wear one of those shirts to work because it was for a good cause?
