Yes

Hello Taylor. I'll be cosplaying a character from the movie Top Gun and my hair is short enough to not have to tie it back in a knot, according to Navy regulations, but it has a lot of volume to it. Are there any rules about having to keep your hair out of your face (mine naturally falls into my face all the time)? And if so, how do you keep your hair out of your face?

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

Hi! Lots of hairspray hair meets to be neat and out of your face at all times however if it’s out and not tied up it’s fine if it gets in your face

[@PlanetaryGoGo]

@@ThatGirlTaylorMarie Thanks so much for the help. I was really worried about this because I couldn't find an answer to that. Thanks again. Much appreciated.

Can you wear knotless box braids?

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

Yes

[@brookejames2810]

I’m leaving for boot camp soon can we wear braids in a bob hair style ???

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

When I went to bootcamp you could. But it has to not reach below your collar so you should get it really short .

[@Foofle826]

When you say hair out, is that limited to just those bob pictures that are shown, or are there more hair out options?

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

Pretty much . You can only have your hair to a certain length if you can’t put it in a bun

[@cosmicly3594]

Hi Taylor! I’m wondering if you think it’d be allowed to have platinum highlights in your hair? My hair is naturally dark brown (appears black) and I have very platinum streaks in my hair, really they’re almost white. Any insight?

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

No Go! Has to be natural hair color / highlight

Can I wear a ponytail in boot camp now in 2021, bc they changed there regs?

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

So when I was in in bootcamp a ponytail wasn’t authorized only in the fleet .

[@nikhyamonet]

Can we wear braids with designs? Like the heart on the side? Is thy extra ? 😭😂

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

girl no lol! that is considered radish!

[@nikhyamonet]

@@ThatGirlTaylorMarie like nun at all ? I gotta wear them Cleo jail braids ? 😫😫😭😭

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

@@nikhyamonet lol you can look cute just not too cute! So like twist single etc

[@mackenziehebron4052]

I have a small Afro do you think that will work for me in bootcamp my hair type is 3c/4a

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

It depends on how small it can reach a certain length outward from your actual head . And your cover has to fit .

[@mackenziehebron4052]

@@ThatGirlTaylorMarie I believe the cover would fit but my hair wouldn’t be able to tuck behind my ear

[@TheAllyson25]

I was thinking about doing braids... its the cornrows in front and box braids in the back... I might have it cut short depending on the length of my natural hair

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

Hey . So especially in bootcamp your hair has to be in regs and unless it’s changed recently . Your hair has to be uniform all over . So all cornrows or all box braids.

[@miaredwine7040]

I have kinky curls and one hairstyle that lasts me 3 weeks or more is my twists-outs. Do you think I will be able to do this hairstyle when coming into Bootcamp?

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

So you can wear your natural hair as long as it fits under the cover (hat), Also it can not go past your collar on your uniform. If it doesn’t your best bet will be to wear it braided . When do you leave for bootcamp ?

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]

You can wear wigs I’m wearing one in this video . Also a friend wore one throughout bootcamp

[@Mariamtheicon]

@@ThatGirlTaylorMarie I’m scared cus I know we have to do the swimming test so I’ll bring more than one thank you!

[@NavyHelicopterGuy]

[@ThatGirlTaylorMarie]
