'In black British culture, black boys have braids.'
Farouk James has been threatened with expulsion if he does not cut his hair A 12-year-old boy may be kicked out of school because his long hair does not fit with their uniform policy. Farouk James said despite the fact his hair is braided neatly for school, he has been threatened with expulsion if he does not chop off his locks. The child model said he has already been given several detentions at his London school since April.
Farouk has his hair braided back for school Farouk’s father is from Ghana, where it is encouraged to not cut children’s hair until they are three-years-old ‘It’s a part of their identity. You are asking someone to take away a huge part of themselves, to fit in to what is socially expected.’ Farouk’s social media shows him modelling with his long thick hair reaching down his back.
