trendy hair color for women image
Macy
I'm a female, with pretty short hair, shoulder length to be exact. Well, I can't put it up in a bun, but if I let it hang loose, it would probably touch the collar of the uniform. Would the barber at basic trim it, or should I just might as well get it shorter? Can you go to basic with super boy hair cut, or not? THank you.
Answer
I guess you "could" go to basic with super short hair, there's nothing in the Reg about having it too short. However, this is a look that I don't think every woman can pull off.
If it can touch the collar it is probably long enough to be put up, even if not in a bun.
I have seen women in the Army with both the really short hair and the hair put up, but not long enough for a bun.

(3) Female haircuts will conform to the following standards.
(a) Females will ensure their hair is neatly groomed, that the length and bulk of the hair are not excessive, and that the hair does not present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Likewise, trendy styles that result in shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline) or designs cut into the hair are prohibited. Females may wear braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative, the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the head, and any hairholding devices comply with the standards in 1â8a(3) (d) below. Dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted individual parts
of hair) are prohibited in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar at any time during normal activity or when standing in formation. Long hair that falls naturally below the bottom edge of the collar, to include braids, will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned,so no free-hanging hair is visible. This includes styles worn with the physical fitness uniform/improved physical fitness uniform (PFU/IPFU).
(b) Styles that are lopsided or distinctly unbalanced are prohibited. Ponytails, pigtails, or braids that are not secured to the head (allowing hair to hang freely), widely spaced individual hanging locks, and other extreme styles that protrude from the head are prohibited. Extensions, weaves, wigs, and hairpieces are authorized; however, these additions must have the same general appearance as the individualâs natural hair. Additionally, any wigs, extensions, hairpieces, or weaves must comply with the grooming policies set forth in this paragraph.
(c) Females will ensure that hairstyles do not interfere with proper wear of military headgear and protective masks or equipment at any time (see 1â8a(1)(a), above). When headgear is worn, the hair will not extend below the bottom edge of the front of the headgear, nor will it extend below the bottom edge of the collar.
(d) Hair-holding devices are authorized only for the purpose of securing the hair. Soldiers will not place hairholding devices in the hair for decorative purposes. All hair-holding devices must be plain and of a color as close to the soldierâs hair as is possible or clear. Authorized devices include, but are not limited to, small, plain scrunchies (elastic hair bands covered with material), barrettes, combs, pins, clips, rubber bands, and hair bands. Devices that are conspicuous, excessive, or decorative are prohibited. Some examples of prohibited devices include, but are not limited to, large, lacy scrunchies; beads, bows, or claw clips; clips, pins, or barrettes with butterflies, flowers, sparkles, gems, or scalloped edges; and bows made from hairpieces.
(e) Soldiers may not wear hairnets unless they are required for health or safety reasons, or in the performance of duties (such as those of a cook). No other type of hair covering is authorized in lieu of the hairnet. The commander will provide the hairnet to the soldier at no cost.

What are some timeless clothing staples that every woman should have in her closet?
In the Lan
I just turned 30 (I'm not a teenager) and don't want my wardrobe full of clothes that will be out of style by the time 2008 rolls around. I would like to have as many "must haves" as possible, but I can't think of any besides the crisp white blouse and a great pair of jeans. I am planning to spend some nice dough to make sure these clothes last a while so please feel free to point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time.

If you're looking for a more mature and classic look, you could try this mixed in with your trendier stuff.
Anyway, some things you could look for would be....
Button-down shirts/blouses, jeans that aren't too trendy (by that, I mean classic cuts and styles), trousers that are straight leg in neutral colors (black, gray, tan, brown, even some pinstriped), fitted blazers and other structured jackets, pencil skirts, a-line skirts, 3/4 length sleeved tops (can be v-necked, wrap tops, etc), wrap dresses, pea coats or trenches.
Accessories are where you can have inexpensive fun with chunky, long, beaded necklaces, dangley earrings, scarves, belts, etc.
Also, be aware when choosing color. Bright colors are great, but sometimes jewel-toned shades are more sophisticated. Having said that, color can be great to add some flair to an otherwise neutral and drab wardrobe.
Fit is important. In a classic look, it seems that nothing is ever too tight or baggy.
Also, although some may see this as copying, you can look at other people's styles to see what you like. You'd be simply drawing inspiration. Make note of what you like on other people and consider if it would work on you. Look through magazines. Look at street fashion sites. You can either find what you like, or you can at least see what you DON'T like.
