How To Take Care Of Your Natural Hair In The Military | My Tips & Tricks

[@NanaNaima1]

I'm glad they updated the hair regulations to accommodate natural hair earlier this year. I shaved my head before I joined bc I didn't want to deal with the criticism but I've been growing it for 2 years now. Thanks for the video

Wow I'm also mad they changed the regulations soooo late after all these years! I'm happy that your hair is growing and flourishing ❤️

Hope you can still see this ik it’s been a while but how was growing it out like in the military? Im keeping my hair short for basic and I plan on growing it out during AIT but im worried itll be seen as “out of regs” once it gets to 3-4 inches. I’d wanna get braided bob or cornrows once it’s grown out

[@joypressley4821]

@maebunny5298 hello, I would recommend doing regular braids to grow out your hair. Females have more rights compared to the guys when it comes to length check out the female regulations for 2024

I am puerto rican, not a black woman, but I do have curly hair. Videos like this are super helpful for me, especially with how rare they are. I’ve been considering going into one of the academies but I don’t want to kill my hair. This helped me understand my natural hair better and how to care for it. Thank you for this, god bless. 🫶🫶🫶🫶

I appreciate these tips. I love to see so many black girls having healthy natural hair. When I as growing up, it was only like two and the rest of us had damaged relaxed hair. I've been in the military for 11 years and wore my hair on a short afro but I would like to grow it out now. Thank you!

how much time did you have to shower on sundays?

[@joypressley4821]

We had much more time to relax or go to the religious services

[@candashiamcdonald9214]

What about when you’re allowed to leave base in AIT? Will we be able to go out and buy hair products that we can bring back?

[@joypressley4821]

You can buy hair products at the px anytime they let you go which is pretty often like every week they do store runs

[@candashiamcdonald9214]

@@joypressley4821 oh okay, so we can only buy products from the px? Cause can’t we leave base after phase iv if we earn a pass? So if I went to a Walmart or something off base and bought hair products, I wouldn’t be able to bring those back with me?
