Ive watched many videos and seen many pictures of plebe summer activities. I noticed that none of the female plebes have their hair tied back, even when running, working out, etc. Is this a rule? When are the females allowed to tie their hair back again?
For Plebe Summer, it's cut short enough at the back so it falls above the top edge of the uniform collar, so no need to tie it back. Wake up, roll out of the rack, run a comb through, no puff and fluff time needed. No clipped/rubber banded ponytails in dress or class uniforms anyway. The grow-out struggle starts during the ac year, going through that phase where it's too long to be left down, and hard to get it up in a professional bun. There are regs that govern hair styles in uniform, and service women learn all the techniques from those more senior. There are also plenty of YouTube videos. Just look up Sock Bun. Or Military Bun.
Military women's hair falls generally in 3 categories:
- short, pixie cut or natural style
- bob cut short enough to clear the top edge of the collar in the back
- long hair put up in buns or braids that meet regs
Regs on colors of bands, how many barrettes, etc. Welcome to the military!
