Freedom does not start nor end with freedom of speech. To style our hair and express ourselves with the outmost freedom is Freedom of expression itself.

The students’ of 11-ABM-Tycoons are inviting you to support our cause of allowing students to choose their hair colors and styles freely in all learning institutions. Join us now!

    This topic is raised in light of current situations and studies linking haircut policies to academic performances. This case illustrates how Filipino students have no chance to express themselves through their hair in addition to their desire to be free. 

     Our society has developed a variety of hairstyles from many cultures and regions based on the color, tone, curve, volume, and length of the individual hairs. Additionally, we are influenced by idols and celebrities, and this is why it is so well-liked among people in general, particularly among young students. However, several schools are putting into place a regulation governing students' haircuts and styles. So, should we allow schools to decide what kind of hairstyle we may wear comfortably? Should we permit schools to carry out the Haircut and Hair Color Policy?

    Haircut Policy should not be implemented in schools. First, the hairstyle regulation should not be imposed in schools because, in reality, it has little to no impact on academic performance. Shorter haircuts for better grades have never been shown in research studies. In other words, a person's haircut shouldn't be used to judge their IQ, regardless of whether they have long or short hair. Albert Einstein is a prime example who is among the most well-known scientists in history and is well-known for his numerous inventions and discoveries. In addition to his accomplishments, Einstein's hair, or more precisely, his "wild hair," is what made him famous and special.

     Second, the Haircut Policy shouldn't be introduced in schools because I firmly believe that everyone has the right to dress how they want and to exhibit their individuality through their choice in accessories, clothing, and even hairstyles. In terms of studying, haircuts don't really matter, but they have a big impact on how you feel about yourself. Everyone in the current generation, from professionals to students, is interested in fashion. One way that people use to exhibit their uniqueness is through their haircut. And why not, if having a distinctive hairstyle can make you feel at ease and whole as a person?

     Third, schools who have implemented this type of policy claim that they did so in order to teach students discipline and respect for authority. Respect is something you choose to give. Physical appearance isn't important if you truly respect other people, regardless of how they seem. And in the discipline section of this argument arguing that "simpleng rules, Hindi masunod." It's not just a simple rule if self-esteem and confidence are affected. 

    We truly applaud schools that seek to instil this lesson in their children about discipline, which is the technique of teaching individuals to follow rules or a code of behavior and occasionally using punishment to address disobedience. But we believe that in addition to the haircut policy, there should be more means to discipline students. Schools should put more of an emphasis on how students can get better at studying.

     Lastly, it can help to lessen the expenses. The school hair rules for men require them to maintain a clean cut. This means that they have to keep it as short as possible. And since their hair grows out fast, they have to get a haircut every month, which means they'll be spending more money just for a haircut. In this period of time where every cost goes higher by each day, some students may not be able afford a haircut mandatorily due to financial reasons and give them the choice to spend that money on more productive things. 

     If there will be freedom regarding hair cut and hair color, students will be able to express themselves freely, can be more confident of themselves and can also help to lessen the expenses. It has no bad effect on students' academic performance but also makes them more confident that can aid in their academic performance. 

      The opportunity is currently to address these minor issues in our society before they become broader and more complicated. The generation should have the opportunity to express themselves however they wish, including through fashion and physical appearances, as we are today in the twenty-first century. Giving students the opportunity to wear any hairstyle they like while they are in class may increase their performance since it can help them build their confidence and self-esteem. Providing our students the freedom to choose how they would like to express themselves is our responsibility. By addressing these issues immediately, we can ensure that the world and the learning environment for the next generation are more accommodating places. Let's constantly remind ourselves that there is no better time to take action than today.
