Alter the new hair style requirements of the U.S. Army to be more accepting of natural hair styles of black women.

Created by N.D. on July 18, 2014

The new standards by the U.S. Army related to hairstyles are unduly restrictive. For black women, these standards are extremely time consuming and costly. The Army must either: 1) identify appropriate hair styles that are not so costly and time consuming for all races, or 2) revert back to the standards used in 2012.
