This is the amusing moment students helped their friend color her hair black using marker pens for a school ID photo.

Mharia Eloisa Narcisa needed to change her brown hair to black in order to be admitted to a nursing program in Tarlac, Philippines.

With time running short, Mharia bought black marker pens and asked her classmates to carefully shade her hair on August 5.

Footage captured by Dave shows Jamaica and Leon delicately applying the marker tips onto her strands.

Mharia said: 'I worked over the summer and decided to get a Brazilian Treatment to fix my hair during the vacation since I wore it in a bun all school year.

'The enrollment was sudden, and my friends and I wanted to enroll together so we could stay in the same class. I didn't have enough time to dye my hair black, and colored hair isn't allowed in the program I took.'
