UNAPOLOGETICALLY HAIR

At the University of Oregon, we celebrate the diversity of hair and the culture around it. We are here to acknowledge the different routines, products and services around the community. Hair is more than just something at the top of our heads, it symbolizes our culture and heritage.

Can you touch my hair? No. But you can learn about it.
