Thailand 's Supreme Administrative Court annulls a 50-year-old directive by the education ministry .

It had previously set out rules on hairstyles for school students: short hair for boys and ear-length bobs for girls.

In practice, hairstyle rules have been gradually relaxed across many schools.

But some still used the 1975 junta-issued directive as a guideline, and would cut hair of students who didn't adhere.
