    Hair policies in schools and universities often regulate hair length for male students and prohibit hair coloring. However, there is no evidence that hair style affects academic performance. Forced changes to a student's appearance can negatively impact their self-esteem and confidence, which can influence performance. Schools should adopt policies that allow students to choose hairstyles that express themselves while still maintaining standards of decency. Diversity and self-expression are important lessons that schools should teach, and all students should feel accepted regardless of their hair preferences.

    POSITION STATEMENT

    HAIR POLICIES IN SCHOOLS OR UNIVERSITIES

    Hair policies are implemented mostly in prisons, workplaces, and schools or universities.
    Although organizations claim that hair regulations are for safety reasons, they could have a
    discriminatory effect. DepEd Order 32, s. 2017 was released during the Duterte administration
    with the goal of "promoting the protection of children from all forms of gender-related violence,
    abuse, exploitation, and bullying, as well as to promote gender equality and non-discrimination in
    the workplace and within the DepEd." This Memorandum served as the foundation for the
    #nohaircutpolicy movement, which gathered traction on social media and sought to challenge the
    hair length policy in particular for male students. In addition to the haircut regulation for boys, the
    use of hair color is also rigorously prohibited in the majority of schools. That’s why I stand to
    remove hair policies in schools or universities.

    First of all, there is no scientific study that says our hair affects our academic performance.
    It doesn't affect how well we do in school. So why is it necessary for us to follow this rule?
    Everyone has the right to decide how they want to look. Forced changes to a student's appearance
    can have a significant impact on his confidence and self-esteem, which can turn out to have an
    impact on his academic performance. Depression can be brought on by low self-esteem, and
    depression reduces performance. Schools ought to adopt a policy that allows students to choose
    their hairstyles while still reflecting the standards of decency. The first place where students should
    learn about respecting others should be at school, along with lessons on diversity and self-
    expression. The ability to accept the diversity of people and cultures should be a hallmark of a
    global citizen. You shouldn't encourage your kids to believe that there are only a few attractive
    hair colors and styles. Wouldn't it be more equitable if we were allowed to dress however we
    pleased? We each have different aesthetic preferences. Everyone aspires to look their best because
    doing so demonstrates self-care. It's a method for us to express who we are, and we shouldn't be
    prevented from doing so.
