We construct for the first time hairy black holes within a well-established theoretical framework: the electroweak theory minimally coupled to Einstein’s General Relativity. These black holes support an axially symmetric electroweak condensate — the hair — made of massive W, Z, and Higgs fields. In the extremal limit, they are surrounded in addition by a symmetric phase where the Higgs field vanishes, and their size can be macroscopic. We analyze their properties and establish connections with known flat-space results in the electroweak theory.
