In innumerable ways, hair matters. Hair is connected to our identity, to culture and heritage, and to self-perception and expression. Hair shapes educational access, professional prospects, and how we engage each other in public spaces. Our hair is also linked to physical, psychological, physiological, and economic well-being. Yet, despite the importance of hair in both public and private life, many overlook the legal and policy dimensions of hair, failing to grasp the critical connection between hair, health, law, and human flourishing. Drawing on our respective expertise in health law and policy and hair discrimination law and policy, we wanted to explore these intersections and encourage a broader set of conversations illuminating these realities. What began as an idea for an hour-long webinar blossomed into a two-day symposium hosted at the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law in September 2025 by the Drexel Law Review, the Drexel Health Law Program’s Vital Signs initiative, and the Drexel Kline Center for Law, Policy and Social Action.
