If Soldiers use dyes, tints, or bleaches, what color must they choose for their hair?

The requirement for Soldiers who choose to use dyes, tints, or bleaches for their hair is that they must select a color that resembles a natural hair color. This guideline maintains a standard of professionalism and uniformity within the military environment, ensuring that Soldiers present a cohesive and respectful appearance that aligns with the values and traditions of the Army.

Allowing only natural hair colors helps to maintain discipline and unity, which are essential principles in military culture. It reflects an understanding that personal expression through hair color is secondary to the service's overall image and mission. Thus, opting for a color that appears natural is consistent with the Army's regulations aimed at fostering a professional atmosphere.
