Shaving half of my head?

Depends on where you are seeking internships. If you are seeking internships at an employer with conservative dress and grooming standards, or something customer facing to conservative customers, unusual hair styles can be a problem. But that may be less of or not an issue in some other types of situations.

Of course, hair eventually grows back, so if you encounter this problem, it is not as permanent as it would be with a tattoo.
