This document is a memorandum from Autumn Lord, Superintendent, to Ron Jackson Employees and Students regarding hair style guidelines for youth in what appears to be a correctional or juvenile detention facility. The memo outlines a new policy after the repeal of a previous GAP policy, providing comprehensive instructions on acceptable hair styles, grooming standards, and restrictions for both male and female youth.

The guidelines cover multiple aspects of hair management, including facial hair for males (must be neat, no longer than 1"), hair length and styling for both genders, and specific restrictions related to youth safety and behavioral management. Notable provisions include limitations on hair braiding, prohibitions on using styling tools like flat irons, specific haircut requirements (Trims/Cuts, #2 Oster Blade), and special considerations for youth in high acuity programs. The memo also includes a caution about hair ties, noting that multiple hair ties are not permitted due to potential safety hazards, and provides guidance for youth with mental health considerations who may need to manage their hair differently.
