Hairstyle Policy
Cayman Academy encourages students to maintain hairstyles that are clean, neat, and appropriate for a focused learning environment.
Girls' Hairstyles
The following standards apply to female students:
- Hair must be kept well-groomed and tidy at all times.
- Students are expected to wear their natural hair colour. Highlights, dyes, or artificial colours (including temporary sprays or rinses) are not permitted.
Boys' Hairstyles
To promote a respectful and distraction-free learning environment, the following standards apply to male students' hairstyles:
- Hair must be kept neat, clean, and well-groomed at all times.
- The maximum allowable hair length is 2 inches, measured when stretched out to its full length. This applies to all hair types and textures to ensure consistency and fairness.
- Hair should not cover the eyes, ears, or collar, and must not interfere with participation in school activities, including physical education and safety procedures.
- Extreme styles, designs, or grooming patterns that draw undue attention or disrupt the educational environment are not permitted.
Braids and Protective Styles
Braids, twists, cornrows, and other protective styles are permitted and recognized as acceptable grooming choices in our multicultural environment.
If students choose to wear braided extensions, they must:
- Be shoulder-length or shorter
- Be no longer than the natural hair length
- Be child-appropriate in appearance
- Use natural hair colours only (e.g., black, brown)
- Avoid added coloured beads, accessories, or styling that may be considered distracting or disruptive to the school setting
Acceptable accessory colours
- Black
- White
- Forest green
- Navy blue
Beads
- Black
- Crystal
For ELC to Year 1, beads are not permitted for safety reasons.
Students are not allowed to wear or have in their possession jewellery such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, or lipstick on school grounds, at all school-sponsored functions, or while wearing the School's uniform. If students are caught with these, they will be confiscated.
