Women’s hair may be long but when in uniform it is to be kept wellgroomed and secured or styled back from the face. Braids, twists, cornrows or locks can be worn. All hair styles must be short enough not to extend below the shirt collar when worn down, or long enough to be worn in a bun or ponytail. In working dress, longer hair may either be worn in a: bun, single ponytail, single braid or corn braids/corn rows secured with conservative ties, grips, hairpins, and nets of natural hair colour. Styles must be uniform (e.g. braids must be the same width) and present an appearance when viewed from the front that is reasonably symmetrical. Varying styles of hair, straight, curled or
coiled, are permitted within these limits and should not preclude the proper wearing of headdress which should fit as normal. Hair accessories (including beads) are not to be worn. Certain trades for health and safety reasons still will need hair to be worn in a bun (medical / chef etc).
