Uniform Highlights: Hair 

This school year we'd like to highlight different parts of The Oaks' uniform policy each week. This week we'll look at what the policy says in regards to hair.

"Students should demonstrate neat, traditional, conservatively oriented choices in their hairstyle and accessories...Our ladies and gentlemen will keep their hair & nails clean and well groomed. Gentlemen will keep their hair groomed in a traditional style, short in length with the back length no longer than the top of the shirt collar, the sides not below the earlobe, and the front not in their eyes. Gentlemen's hair is not to bleached, dyed, highlighted, nor cut or worn in an ornamental manner (i.e. faux hawks, mohawks, clipper designs, etc.) It should not be cut or styled in a way that draws undue attention to self. Facial hair for gentlemen is not acceptable...

Ladies will keep their hair groomed in a traditional style, out of their face, and may have highlights or extensions only in natural hair colors..."

The full guidelines may be found under Personal Grooming.
