Can women have braided hair in the military?

I am refering to Basic Training. Am I allowed to keep my braids there? I have thin rather short hair and I don't think it will work any other way.

I have long hair I even took about 4 inches off before I left for BCT (06) , Yes you may have corn rows , you must have them go in one direction straight back no designs.. even with braids they cant touch your collar so if its long in braid pull it in a bun.

I keep my hair in a bun , make sure if you get braids you have the proper hair care (un scented) items you need , in BCT they dont carry alot of ethnic hair care products or have your family send you what you need.

Nope they will make you remove the braids. Your hair cant be any longer then shoulders and can be pulled up.
