What are some hairstyles for women in the military?

I have think wavy hair that comes down to the top of my shoulder blades. Since my hair is so thick it doesn't stay in a bun very well. Also, I have layers; thus, a french braid won't work well either. Thanks in advance for your help!What are some hairstyles for women in the military?
Since you hair has to be above the lower edge of your collar, you have two choices. You can cut it, or put it up. Layers are a problem, because it's hard to keep them neat and to ';secure'; (tuck in) the ends.





Best advice, if your hair is very layered, and if you don't want to cut it, is to part it off-center in the front, and gather each front section (from the part to right in front of your ears) and clip it up, either with bobby pins or clips. That serves the purpose of getting it out of your face and still enabling you to wear your headgear appropriately. Then, repeat the process all the way back just as if you were making a French braid. When you get to the back, use a covered elastice (NOT a ';scrunchy';) to make a low ponytail, tuck the ends under and secure them with a couple more bobby pins.





Yes, this requires several bobby pins and yes, it's time-consuming. But you need to look need and you need to be in regs. When your hair grows out you can braid it...or you always have the option of a cute, easy, short haircut that with your wavy hair would probably be gorgeous.What are some hairstyles for women in the military?
Your hair has to be up. It can not come past the bottom fo you collar when you wear your uniform. You can try a french braid or even putting it in a semi-high ponytail. Just as long as you are in regs (regulations) and you use hair bands that are similar in color to your own hair, you should be ok. No scrunchies or clips, though
