Melanie Jane said:It says we can do a braid down the center of your back or 2 braids down your shoulders, can they be french braids?
Strike said:Generally, if you have your hair put together neatly without doing something super radical (like a braid that runs around your head) you will likely be okay.
ModlrMike said:Picture 1 - yes
Picture 2 - no
PMedMoe said:Picture 2 is not with bobby pins. Plus, it may be considered an "exaggerated" style.
I think I know what you mean, it's probably hard to find a picture to depict it.

burkus2 said:So.. I'm a girl and I've got a small section on the right side of my head shaved and the rest of my hair is pretty long. Is that considered as a crazy hairstyle or is it acceptable?
Hair on the head shall be neatly groomed
and conservatively styled. The length, bulk or style
of hair shall not detract from a positive military
appearance or preclude the proper wear of military
headdress. (Bulk is the distance that the mass of
hair extends from the skin, when groomed, as
opposed to the length of hair.) In particular, style
and colour shall not present a bizarre, exaggerated,
or unusual appearance.
Women (see Figure 2-2-3). Hair shall not
extend below the lower edge of the shirt
collar. Exaggerated styles, including those
with excessive fullness or extreme height,
are not authorized. Braids, if worn, shall be
styled conservatively and tied tightly:
secured at the end by a knot or a small
unadorned fastener. A second small
unadorned fastener may be used to secure
the top of the braid. A single braid shall be
worn in the centre of the back. Double
braids shall be worn behind the shoulders.
Hair shall be a maximum length when
gathered behind the head and braided
which does not extend below the top of the
armpit. Multiple braids (cornrows) shall be
directed toward the back of the head,
pulled tight to the head and secured at the
end by a knot or a small-unadorned
fastener. A second small unadorned
fastener may be used to secure the top of
the braid. Multiple braids extending below
the lower edge of the collar are to be
gathered in a bun. With the permission of a
Commanding Officer, a reasonable period
may be authorized in order to transition
from short to long hairstyles, during which
time hair may extend below the lower edge
of the shirt collar; all the while maintaining
a positive military appearance, and subject
to the member’s safety.

burkus2 said:I'd be okay with it but I love my long hair. :-(
