No Hair Color Policy is a policy that prohibits students to bleach, dyeing, and highlighting their hair For School Reasons. This policy has been implemented in schools for decades and not all students are fond of this particular policy alongside many other policies. Students believed that there are no sense in the policy and it should be removed.

Is there a connection between a student's hair color and their academic performance? 

According to Edukasyon. ph:

‘First of all, there is no scientific study that correlates academic performance with hair color. The brain does not absorb the colors dyed on a student’s hair to cause its malfunction.

“It will not affect the capacity of the students to learn and it is irrelevant to correlate learning with the color of one’s hair”, says Joresa Dela Rosa, a third-year student at the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law.

Hard work, smart study habits, and a healthy lifestyle are more relevant factors of an outstanding performance at school.’

Based on this statement there is no harm in having the student's hair dyed in a different color. There are no effects that dyed hair can affect a student's academic performance and their general performance in school. In today's world dyeing one’s hair isn't uncommon now as it was before. It's hard to find someone today who hasn't dyed their hair or at least planning to no matter what their age is. It's the same for students, while the policy was made with good intentions and for students to avoid distractions. No Hair policy is not as needed as it was once and students faced other problems and challenges that affect their academic performance more than hair color.

This petition was made to remove the No Hair Color Policy from schools and to give attention to this topic.
