Hi, I will start BCT in a couple months. So my hair is shorter than my collarbone, and I can't tie it up since its so short. But I have long bangs that can cover my eyes, can I use a bobby pin to keep it out of my face, or can I sideswipe it so it doesnt get in my face, or should I just cut my bangs short? I just want to know what is allowed and what isnt, ty if you reply (:
 
First off, girls don't join the Army, Women do.

Basically, the back of the hair must not touch your collar. Bangs will need to be off your face. Only hair pins and ponytail holders that match your hair color are accepted. No radical hair cuts and must be professional in nature. It must be kept in a way that does not interfer with the wearing of head gear (hats) or helmets.

Talk to your recruited, he or she should help you with this. Mine did. I maintained long hair in the Army and learned to french braid to comply with regs.
