Marine Corps Survey

(Washington, D.C.)

The Marine Corps Uniform Board released a survey Monday to get feedback about whether two banned hairstyles for women — dreadlocks and twists — should be allowed.

Specifically, Marines will be asked whether they agree with preliminary recommendations by a special working group:

* Continue to prohibit the wear of lock (dreadlock) hairstyles.

* Authorize the wear of the twist hairstyles in uniform for medium and long length hair, as long as they conform with basic regulations for multiple braid hair.

The brief survey can be taken until Friday by selecting the Special Marine Corps Uniform Board: Female Hairstyle Regulations Survey.
