Hair Code:

Fad haircuts and hairstyles are not acceptable as they date publicity photos and media appearances. Hair must not cover the eyebrows or cause shadows on the face.

BOYS: Hair should not touch more than the top of the ear and should not cover the collar. Hair should be long enough to effectively be parted and combed, except naturally curly hair. Hair should not be sculpted or have shaved (buzzed haircuts) designs. No bleached or highlighted hair of any color.

GIRLS: During performances, hair should be pulled back out of the face. This is to eliminate constantly touching or smoothing the hair. Hair ornaments should be kept conservative. No showy or large hair ornaments will be allowed. Dyed or bleached hair is allowed if the color or highlighting looks natural.
