They can keep it long. And it needs to stay up.

I understand why some would feel that changing from what regs used to be is hard to understand. I do not now and never had a female cadet. I was never a female cadet. But I am a woman an agree that longer hair gives a much better appearance in uniform and is much much neater. Long nair, pulled back and in a tight bun stays out of the wearers face and never appears fly away or unkept.

At USMA you dont have to cut your hair. You have the option of cutting it or keeping it back in a bun.

From a mom's perspective after attending R-Day: our son is of smaller stature, so in parade formation he is toward the back, surrounded by female cadets. With so many young men with shaved heads, our son was a whole lot easier to spot in the crowd when the young women around him had hair which was pulled back and off the neck - he was one of the only baldies back there . I only witnessed a few females with a bobbed cut and it did seem they had a harder time with it not flying into their eyes.
