Indian School Uniform: Hair Styles



Figure 1.--Indian schools have strict rules concerning hair styles. Notice that these girs both wear looped pigtails with the required colored hair ribbons.

Schools appear to have strict rules concerning hair styles. Boys in all grades are normally required to have standard, plain short cuts,nothing else allowed. Girls in all grades are normally not allowed to have fringe cuts (bangs). Hair must be off the face, no hair colors/dyes. The girls with shorter hair usually must have it combed neat. The girls with longer hair must have it either made into a braid down the back or even more often braided in two pigtails on each side of head, and then looped. Note that many schools require the all schoolgirls to wear ribbons in their braids. Color of ribbons is the same for all girls within the school and varies from school to school (from white to black,red,green,etc).
