Remove strict hair policies in schools (South Africa)

For a very long time, South African students have been placed under hair restrictions in most schools across the country. These restrictions are often unjustified and when the appropriate authorities are asked why they exist, the reply is mostly the same old "Because we want discipline" or "To keep students looking neat" or even the blatantly ignorant "Because it's in the rules" which just shows that there's no proper justification around why the rules actually exist. On the subject of the first two replies, students can still have neat hair without having to cut, thin, relax, straighten, or manipulate the structure of hair in any way. Furthermore, if you do not like the way someone's hair is, be it too curly, or too wavy, etc., the solution is for you to accept that human being for how they were born and wish to express themselves and not restrict them based on them being unique.

A major problem with hair restrictions is that hair does not just immediately grow back the moment a student dissociates themselves from their school, neither does it revert back to its desired state in the same instance. Students are forced to sever this part of their expressionism solely because of one institution that pushes for compliance with a nonsensical, unjustified restriction.

South Africans are born with the right to "freedom of expression, which includes—...(c) freedom of artistic creativity"
while this right "does not extend to—
(a) propaganda for war;
(b) incitement of imminent violence; or
(c) advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that
constitutes incitement to cause harm."

The way a student's, or any human beings, hair is an art, "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination". Denying one of expressing themselves through how they choose for their hair to be, especially whether they're in or out of school, is an infringement on this right. Hair does not propagate war, incite violence, or advocate hatred based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and does not constitute incitement to cause harm.
