The local operation of US beauty product brand Dove has launched a campaign to end forced haircuts in Thai schools, a move it believes will bolster students' self-esteem.
Two years ago, the rules on appropriate haircuts were changed to be more inclusive and prohibit punishments forcing students to get mandated cuts. However, according to a study by YouGov (Thailand) among students, parents, women and teachers, 74% of respondents said forced haircuts were still being used to discipline students.
