Colored other than natural, spiked, designed, bleached, the list goes on.

You’ll end up in a discussion with an NCO and their interpretation of AR670-1. I haven’t seen anyone beat that combo.

The commander thinks that it is a fad. You can't win that one. It is widely up to interpretation and the commander will win the interpretation.

You sure seem determined to cause yourself unnecessary trouble. The truth is that none of the opinions you get here matter at all. YOUR opinion on this issue doesn't matter. Only your leadership's does, so it's them you should be asking.

Dude hair regs will never be interpreted. To this day I haven't figured out what a professional, neat and tidy mustache looks like and I certainly was never able to meet regs while in service without looking like a certain Eastern European dictator from the 40s.

Its at the discretion of your command team.

Colloquially, it means to follow a trend or a display a hair style of high popularity. However, by definition, it means your hair style looks stupid. Your commander makes that determination, so we pretty much have no set standard. High-and-tight, hooah?

It's left intentionally vague on purpose. Regulations give a left and right limit, and leave the middle ground to the commander's discretion.
