Hair in the Army

When I decided I was joining the army I was about to get my hair cut anyway, the two just happened to coincide on coincidence. That said, I’ve decided I’m definitely keeping it short at least through AIT.

I got it cut shorter today, and love it! It’s basically a long fade in the back and maybe an inch and a half on top. I can faux hawk it if I want, part it and look neat, wear it messy, or just whatever. (I put pictures below)

While the hairdresser was chopping away, I had to wonder: why would a female leave her hair long during Basic?
