- The BEST Basic Training Hairstyles for Woman (2019) Authorized styles
#basictraininghairstyles #armybasictraining2020 #armyprinncess
Finding the best basic training hairstyles for woman in 2019 can be a bit challenging. The rules and regulations to hair in the army have changed quite a bit in the last few years compared to when I joined the military 12 year ago.
In basic training you dont have a lot of time to fuss with your hair in the morning and the easier/faster you can get your hair done in the mornings, the better it will be for you and your platoon.
In this video I go over what my suggestions are for the best hairstyles for woman in basic training to include all nationalities, not just woman of color. For my African American females that are going to basic training I also have specific best hairstyles for you as well.
Be careful because there are whats considered "unauthorized hairstyles in the military" and you dont want to fall into this category. All of my hairstyles are authorized styles for the military in 2019.

I was thinking cornrows would look bad on me, but I shouldn't care what people think. This is a mission, I'm here to get paid!!
I ship out October 8th and am just keeping my hair shaved, sweet and simple lol I'll have plenty of time after basic to grow it again
dont shave too low though. get with your recruiter on the proper length for short hair.
i'm doing the same, the shortest it can be is a 1/4 of an inch xD
Tatiana Davis thats the day after my birthday
@@NYCYONNA happy early birthday sis!
Thank you! 😊
I sure would like a video on unauthorized hairstyles in the military!
I can't do any type of braids, buns, etc. to save my own life 😥.
(Love ya💚).
I keep my hair in a low cut. I feel like it's so much easier but I love the other tips as well 🙂
Yes! Thank you!
I ship out this November 22nd and i got my haircut but kept the top short. Does anyone know if thats ok?
I’m shipping out In September, 91F 💪🏽
I already decided I’m just gonna keep letting my new growth come in until then and chop all my relaxed hair off. Going back natural and having it short will be the easiest thing. Plus I won’t need brushes, gel, hair ties or pins etc. I don’t necessarily want to go back to being natural but after basic and AIT I’ll definitely have enough length for me to relax it again and go back to a short sleek pixie cut
awesome! sounds good.
I’m shipping out September too
i ship sept. 10th to fort Jackson!
Shakeira Patterson what day? I leave the 23rd
Shakayla Simmons I leave the 23rd
Thank you! I was looking at hair requirements for the past week and you came through! 👐🏾👐🏾 I’m still going through the process of joining and your videos help so much. You are the real MVP!!
Shipping out August 26 ... trying to decide if I want braids or just go natural. Good video!!
Ladyy Dee I would advice get the old school bow wow braids. Skinny skinny and straight to the back
Ladyy Dee i ship aug 28 fort jackson
Yonna Does it my friend went there. But he left Oct 9th
Heeey it’s me (in the thumbnail) 🤗
👋🏾👋🏾Hey y’all!
I’m Navy, btw
Hey! Your picture is awesome!
You waking up and having thirty minutes sounds great 😂 we had to wake up at 0430 and had 15 min to be down all ready in formation.
I was going to call it a day and cut my hair 😂 but I don’t know what haircut would fit best
Same
Same. I want a part tho. Can i have a haircut with a part?
I want to get little box braids and my hair grows out fast will they make me take out my braids if it isn’t extremely neat anymore???
No you should be fine.
As a girl who has naturally curly hair, but dont rock braids well or like buns. Would it be smart to get a short hair cut? Like a pixie look? Or whatever the military short hair regulations are.
What did you guys end up doing?! I’m on the same boat 😰
My sister went to bct with bright red, fire engine red hair! She had to go buy box dye to color her hair while there 😂
💚💚💚💚Oh wow!
I felt so much love in this video, thank you so much! 😘
Your welcome!
Your natural hair can never look bad 💞
Can you wear a twa to basic training? I’m heading to fort jackson less than a week.
Thank you, I've been going natural for a couple years and have kept it fairly short to short medium
Leaving in a few days! This helped answer my questions
I’m going to take the asvab at meps Monday at fort Jackson Aug 5,2019
All best and good luck for ladiesssss whos shipping soon ❤️😞✨
yess good luck!
So glad to see this video!! I always wanted to know what natural women do to their hair!!!
im so glad you enjoyed it and it was informative.
Thank you! I know you answered me already but thank you!!! This def explains the reasoning.
I ship in 2 weeks and need to figure out my hair thank you so much❤️
Thank You So Much For This Video.... I had no clue what to do to my hair. I ship out January 21, 2020 To Fort Jackson
YOur welcome! Congrats and good luck!
My 4c just won't prosper tryna go into a low bun in under 10 minutes lol. I'll take the cleo braids! Is there more leniency during AIT?
cleo braids 😭😭
you're refreshingly beautiful & knowledgeable. thank you.
Aww thats sweet, Thank you!
How long do you get to do your hair in basic training? I can do mine in 10 minutes. And will you be allowed a spray bottle in basic? For water. I have a hard time doing a bun with dry hair.
I kinda wanna shave my head cause my hair is so annoying, it gets tangled and so frizzy due to damage but I'm scared because I don't want to regret it 😂
Update: I got a pixie cut, and planning to shave the sides just a tad to make it even more manageable. :)
Just cut it short, you dont have to shave it. Thats extreme.
Will a low fade be ok for a female
I have scarring alopecia so I keep a bald cut. My hair is basically bald in certain areas and won’t grow back due to scarring that I can’t control. So my question is , is it okay for me to have a bald head?
i’m heavily considering cutting it atleast for boot.. maybe growing it back out after,, currently have a medium length hair.. everyone be telling me NO bc my hair adds to my beauty and how women would kill for my hair.. but they don’t understand boot camp isn’t abt beauty.. and i’m more for practicality and efficiency.. and i’m thinking. short. hair. is. the. MOVE
I ship out January 21,2020 to Ft Jackson. My hair is 4c blow drying is hassle and my hair is thick so a bun is a no go. I wanted to get 1/2 in width midback braids for basic. What do yall think?
LeLe_lovee omg i ship out January 21st too! ☺️
LeLe_lovee omg I just got out of fort Jackson for basic what’s your mos?
Shania Jones so i found out my reception date is January 13 but basic starts January 21
Does anyone know if we can wear starter locs(two strand twists) or locs in BASIC TRAINING?
ItsBNicole yes you can
Can I have starter locs during basic training? Is it true that it’s okay as long as it doesn’t touch my collar if they are too short to fit into a bun?
I have 3c LONG hair and I’m thinking just do low bun but my baby hairs are REBELLIOUS and for basic i hear they don’t have the best gel so will I get in trouble if I got baby hairs with my low bun?
You can bring your own gel. You are going to want everything tucked away.
Do you think I could pass with the sides shaved and the top braided back?
I usually do micro twists on my natural hair, and my shrinkage makes them shrink like just at my neck so would it be okay to keep twists in ? I could pull them in a bun too
Yes thats fine!
thankyou for this!
No problem.
So basically it’s going to be hard for blk women with thick curly Afro hair to have decent hairstyles
I’m thinking about doing the big chop for bootcamp is it worth it??
Can women cut their hair short for basic training? Like short to the point it’s like a pixie or does that 3 inch maximum in bulk still apply?
Thinking about shaving my head once I enlist so I don't have to deal with putting my hair up into a bun all the time. Am I allowed to bring an eletric trimmer to Basic so I can keep my hair trimmed down?
This is the best video on this topic on UA-cam. Thank you.
What if you don’t redo then after washing? Do they hound you if the braids look raggedy?
And can we buy new weave while there?
Will we have time to let hair air dry?
No you cannot buy new hair. If your hair looks "unkept" they can make you do something to it.
ARMYprinncess hopefully not perm it....😫 i have a natural TWA
what kind of braids would you suggest we stray away from and what kinds kinds are acceptable?
I'm gonna practice braiding! Do you think flat twists can last a while too like cornrows?
Just in case I can not find a braider in my platoon. I can do flat twists alright.
flat twists are fine you'll probably jsut have to redo them more often because I dont think they hold up as along as braids. They get fuzzy fast with the changing of the headgear all day.
What about for a white female whos hair is growing out from a pixie cut with longer hair on the sides? Roughly my hair is all the same length now. I leave for Jackson in October and am struggling with the in between grow out phase
How much time will I have to do my hair on weekends? And can I bring an oil with me?
Asking for favors is out of my comfort zone but damnnn idk how to braid 😩 I'm most definitely gonna be the girl asking "Who Know How To Braid" ‼️
I’m natural and I really don’t wanna pay for braids but it’s hard to find a style cause I shaved the back of my head but my hair isn’t super short
Thank you for this video. Is hair grease allowed in basic training? If not, what do you suggest using instead?
Yes it is.
@@ARMYprinncess Thank you very much.
Shipping next tuesday but i suck at making buns/braids. Especially braids. I can make a bun only using like a sock bun but its messy with fly aways and im so slow at doing it
Been thinking of just cutting my hair short when i get to basic if i still cant figure out how to make like a nice hair bun.
Good luck! You will get lots of practice on the bun thing. You dont have to cut it if you done want.
I’m enlisting in the marines soon and I have very short buzzed hair, I read that regulation requires hair no shorter than 1/4 inch for females, am I not allowed to have a fade or buzzed hair? I think it’s the easiest so is that a rule that is lowkey ignored?
You can have it faded on the sides but it still has to be at least 1/4th inch. A lot of times in boot camp they are very strict on the rules and not so much once you get out of training status and get to your duty assignment but again I do not know the rules for the Marine. They may be more strict so I would at least be within the regulation to be safe.
Would it be wise to get starter locs on short hair 4 months before going
Those of you concerned about her saying when she had to wake up it was 05: 00 which is just 5 am not what it sounded like 00: 05 which is 12:05 am
Thanks for clarifying.
@@ARMYprinncess hey can you do a video on girls going into basic with like really short like pixie hair and the regulations for that
What do you think about a low tapered cut for training??? I've been strongly thinking about doing that...
You wont be able to maintain the cut during training. It will grow out so keep that in mind.
I have layered curly hair that’s damaged and I’m leaving to basic training next week , should I cut my hair 4 inch from scalp all around and let it grow out . Because i love my hair rn but it’ll be easier for me to do this and hopefully get healthier hair when it grows out
So grateful for this video but I have a quick question. Are you able to wear short hair in the military. I am considering cutting all my relaxed hair off.
What about short cuts like a Tapered cut I recently cut my hair low but not like bald shaved
How did it go?
Hello how do women with dreads maintain their loccs while in the military?
What if you have dreads? Is that out of regulation or no? My daughter ships out next month for basic and I just want to know if it’s alright or not.
Dreads are ok.
Would you recommend box braids with your short natural hair? No added extensions?
I would not recommend box braids for basic training.
You didn’t speak on short 4c hair or what’s your opinion on micro braids. I was thinking about having my hair micro braid
I ship out in October I have dreads what do u recommend but my dreads are short it’s stop to my shoulders ?
If they are not down past your collar its fine.
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
The problem is .. I can’t braid my own natural hair so imma have to do the braid extensions into a bun.
Do you think crochet braids would be hard to maintain?
I ship out Tuesday...I am at a lost on what to do with my hair at basic🤦🏽♀️
When getting braids is it ok to have braids with a side part instead of straight back? I've been growing my pixie out and it's at a length I can possibly get braids done and due to some balding I'd like to do the side part to cover it a little bit also,, can I have my sides and the lower back lined up? Those parts are not long enough for braiding.
Yes thats fine.
Awesome. Thank You
I will probably have to cut my hair. My hair is so long and I have lots of it. I trie the bun but it’s huge so no choice 😢
Ive always had really short hair for a female, like buzzed maybe half inch, is that acceptable? I see alot of people thinking women with buzzed hair are acting hard, but i just prefer it that way, more hygienic and no maintenance. I dont want to seem im acting macho, but i would prefer having short buzzed hair
I have little to no hair at all... you can’t even grip it. So is that acceptable or do I have to grow it back out?
Hey just saw this but I’m answering your questions in a video as part of my 12 days of Christmas so stay tuned for the series!
My locs can"t fit in a bond that will be a huge bond. Can I cut the opening in the hat a little larger so my locs can fit?
No you cannot. sorry
I’m planning on joining the military when I’m out of high school which is next year, and I had to grow out my undercut the past few months since my family thought we weren’t allowed to have one. Are we allowed to have an undercut with the regulation of 1/4 inch?
No you are not
@@ARMYprinncess I got an undercut before deciding to join the Air National Guard. I am leaving for basic in six months. Would it be better to try and grow my undercut out or just cut all of my hair short?
I’m thinking of cutting my hair like a pixie cut would I have to slick my hair back ?
no, a pixie is fine.
I can't find much info on short bobs, or pixie cuts. I know I have to gel the bangs out of my face but I can't find videos on how I can do my hair 😭
grandma tryna force me to cut my hair off and put it in a ponytail like yours i don't want that, she says we can NOT have individual braids I'm joining the air force not the army. But other videos say we can have short individual braids.
I’m thinking about joining, but I have dreads and there to my shoulders. Idk how to do my hair. Not sure if i should cut it short. Honestly not sure.
You can have dreads.
Shipping November 19th, 92Y, Fort Jackson🙌🏾I want to get some braids because my natural hair is 4C & it’s VERY THICK. Do you think some shoulder length crochet braids would work?🤔
Khris Daniel wow, we’re leaving on the same day to the same place with the same job. Nice lol
My hair is really short & I don’t have any edges. I was hoping if i could get rope twist for basic training.
Okay so I’m leaving soon and I’ve been wanting to cut my hair off so is waves fine for females??
I dont think you should cut it so short and you will not be able to keep it cut during basic so it will grow out.
ARMYprinncess okay can I bring a wig and do it myself for official photos?
Do u know what hair cuts are approved? cause I plan on cutting my hair I googled it but I see no black women haircuts
I would not get it cut before you go. There will be no way to maintain a tapered cut through basic training or AIT for females
Does the hair have to be parted on the side or can it be parted in the middle?
Yes you can do a middle part
Goodday, what about tattoos? Are they supposed to be visible? And their size?
None on your neck, face or above the wrist (hands). Marines are even stricter so I believe you cant even have any on your arms period.
@@kaydee49Our military in Trinidad and Tobago (caribbean) it's the same. You could only have it on your chest. Females are not allowed to have any below their knees, because they'll be wearing skirts sometimes. In the Coast Guard, it could be visible.
So the regulation says women are not allowed to cut their hair less than one inch from the scalp. I see so many woman not adhere to this. Has this changed? I ask because I want to cut my hair, and 1 inch all around is a difficult length to manage.
Just go with the regs to be safe. People do their own thing but doesnt make it right.
I’ve been wanting to shave my head for a long time. Would that be acceptable for basic?
You save my life 😍🙏🏾
Still trying to find out how to do my hair, I'll see if any of these will work for me.
Awesome! I hope it helps.
@@ARMYprinncess I'm sure it will, just putting the finishing touches on everything. Thanks again for your videos.
My daughter & i lean on twist and "cleo" styles during summer 🌊.....But off subject she is a sophomore in college, major wildlife, minoring vet medicine. I want her to consider military cause these loans adding up. She is on the fence about it. Advise please 🙏🏾
Can I just leave my hair in the cornrows for the whole 8 weeks without taking them down? I could just wash them once a week and be good right? I've never had braids but I'm not going to count on anyone else to deal with my hair I want to only rely on myself.
Yes thats fine too.
Is the haircut on your thumbnail in regulation? I have that haircut and I ship out soon and I don't recall you speaking about hair that.
Yes thats fine if your going army.
I am at AIT right now and my drill Sergeant will not allow me to braid my short locs ,she said I can't have both locs and cornrow.Now I Don't know what to do.
Can you pull them back into a pony tail ant secure them with bobby pins. The regulation does say you cannot have 2 hairstyles in one so I guess thats what she is enforcing.
@@ARMYprinncess I can't put it in a ponytail if I do ,it just looks messy with tons of Bobby pins.
I'm joining the military next year July 2021 but im getting married 2021 is that okay for the military?
Yes get married before you go!
My hair is shaved short is it that allowed??👀
I have a pixie cut and didn’t know if that would be acceptable for a woman in the military
Yes thats fine.
I ship out September 17th 92A.🙌🏾 I wanted to know if I could get crochet Senegalese twist or maybe a sew in ?
Dont do crochet, its too bulky. maybe a sew in if you have to.
ARMYprinncess okay thank you!
Kevona Evans I don’t think a sew in would be a good idea...
@@tren6893 I'm 92A and I ship on the 17th too!!!
can i get a sew in that i can have in a bun? ALSO are bangs prohibited ?
Yes and yes!
I have like NO hair..... like I’m almost bald lol i keep my hair super short.... can i keep it that way or do i have to grow it out? It’s like less than a cm long 😭🤧
i think it has to reach 1/4 of an inch. you might already be there if you stretch it
You can keep it short. And when the males go get haircuts you would be allowed to get a haircut as well.
You DO NOT have to grow your hair out, you can rock your short hair!!
What are the regulations on Twa’s?
What if you have short dreads that are too short to be pulled into a low bun? Can you just leave them out?
yes you can.
You just saved me thank you
I ship out September 9th , 92Y 😬😬
Viviana Flores sep 3rd, fort jackson, 92G
