The U.S. Navy Has A New, Inclusive Hair Policy For Women cosmopolitan.com

Attention! The U.S. Navy updated its female grooming standards last week, allowing servicewomen to now wear dreadlocks, braided hairstyles, wider buns, and ponytails. The new rules, which were announced during a Facebook Live, mark a big change from the Navy's previous grooming rules, in which women's buns could only be three inches wide, and French braids were only allowed during training.

"I'm pleased to represent our working group and everyone in the fleet who provided feedback for the female grooming standards," said female sailor Yeoman First Class LaToya Jones during the video (minute mark 32).
