The Halo Code is the UK’s first Black hair code for school and workplaces. Here’s why it’s needed

The Halo Code champions all Afro hairstyles and aims to get rid of hair discrimination in schools and workplaces. Here’s why it’s such an important step for the Black community.

The UK has its first ever Black hair code for school and workplaces – named the Halo Code, thanks to the work of the Halo Collective.

Founded by 30 young Black activists from The Advocacy Academy (a social justice youth organising movement dedicated to creating a more fair, just and equal society), the Halo Collective is an alliance of organisations coming together to combat hair discrimination.

Their first major move comes in the form of the Halo Code, a set of simple and clear asks of UK schools and workplaces to help end hair discrimination.

Employers can adopt the Halo Code and ensure Black employees won’t face barriers or judgments because of their Afro-textured hair.
