Nothing, as long as she's willing to accept the consequences.
It's been established that schools have a right to enforce dress codes. Requiring "natural" hair colors isn't different from requiring shorts to be longer than a certain lenght, banning facial hair on guys, or even having a full on dress code of khakis and polos or something.
It's also an issue of picking your battles.
But hey, if she gets suspended due to the hair color AND it's deemed that the school is using appropriate authority in doing so, then that suspension remains on her record. If her, and her parents, are ok with this, so be it.
If I were her mother I'd tell her to dye it pink in the summer but go brown, black, whatever during the school year.
