Google AR670-1 defines the hair styles authorized by the Army. It can be googled or go to Army G1 and search The AR above.

1. Why do you care? 2. As long as it follows the regs, its ok. 3. PVT is a little low on the totem pole to try to enforce regs.

Female hair cannot be shorter than 1/4”, as long as the shortest part is no less than 1/4” it will be fine. By the way a #2 on the clippers is 1/4”. I currently sport an undercut, #2 on sides and back, and about 4 inches on top.

Per TRADOC 350-6, female trainees may shave their hair down to 1/4" at a minimum, and may wear any conservative hairstyle that does not interfere with the proper wear of the uniform, or may be perceived as "faddish."
