Some insight from a female soldier-





I'm in the army, not the navy, so I don't have to keep my hair short. But I am familiar with the regulations for haircuts (they're the same in every branch of the military).





My biggest concern with all three of these styles is that they all involve heavy layering, which means they might be in your face all the time and they might require extra maintenance that you just won't have time for. If you already have layers like this, make sure that you keep them from moving around with lots of product. If you don't have any layers right now, I wouldn't advise getting them. The other thing is, you may want to consider taking up the length a bit, just to make sure that the cut conforms with regulation.





I respect the opinion of one of the previous poster, but personally I would avoid the military barbers at all costs- they're called barbers for a reason! They're not exactly the best at ';cutting'; women's hair (butchering is a more accurate word). Just my opinion

Navy Uniform Regulations 2201.1b. Women. Hairstyles shall not be outrageously multicolored or faddish, to include shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline), or have designs cut or braided into the hair. Hair coloring must look natural and complement the individual. Haircuts and styles shall present a balanced appearance. Lopsided and extremely asymmetrical styles are not authorized. Ponytails, pigtails, widely spaced individual hanging locks, and braids which protrude from the head, are not authorized. Multiple braids are authorized. Braided hairstyles shall be conservative and conform to the guidelines listed herein. When a hairstyle of multiple braids is worn, braids shall be of uniform dimension, small in diameter (approx. 1/4 inch), and tightly interwoven to present a neat, professional, well groomed appearance. Foreign material (i.e., beads, decorative items) shall not be braided into the hair. Short hair may be braided in symmetrical fore and aft rows (corn rowing) which minimize scalp exposure. Corn row ends shall not protrude from the head, and shall be secured only with inconspicuous rubber bands that match the color of the hair. Appropriateness of a hairstyle shall also be judged by its appearance when headgear is worn. All headgear shall fit snugly and comfortably around the largest part of the head without distortion or excessive gaps. Hair shall not show from under the front of the brim of the combination hat, garrison, or command ball caps. Hairstyles which do not allow headgear to be worn in this manner, or which interfere with the proper wear of protective masks or equipment are prohibited. When in uniform, the hair may touch, but not fall below a horizontal line level with the lower edge of the back of the collar. With jumper uniforms, hair may extend a maximum of 1-1/2 inches below the top of the jumper collar. Long hair, including braids, which fall below the lower edge of the collar shall be neatly and inconspicuously fastened, pinned, or secured to the head. No portion of the bulk of the hair as measured from the scalp will exceed approximately 2 inches. %26lt;Figure 2-2-2%26gt; refers. A maximum of two small barrettes/combs/ clips, similar to hair color, may be used in the hair. Additional bobby pins or rubber bands matching hair color may be used to hold hair in place, if necessary. Fabric elastics and colored rubber bands/pins are not authorized. Hair ornaments shall not present a safety or FOD (Foreign Object Damage) hazard. Hair nets shall not be worn unless authorized for a specific type of duty.





I'm not in a position to make that decision. Neither likely is anybody here. But, having been in the Navy for 25 years, I'd guess that neither is going to pass the ';2-inch'; test, and some may have aproblem with the ';faddy'; test. But for official information a recruiter is going to have first say.





My recommendation is, rather than waste money on a style that's might be cut off in Boot Camp, leave it alone and allow the folks in Boot Camp do their thing.
