I am still waiting to hear back if I’m accepted into OCS but if not I will be in enlisting so either way I still have questions regarding if I should cut my hair to below my ears or if I should leave it lengthy and have to deal with putting it up.
My main concern is having time to put it up and causing damage. I have heard from a couple friends that have already gone to Boot Camp that there were women who had balding spots because of the bun and the gel is super rough on your hair when you have to wear it for so long. This in turn causes a lot of damage so I’m debating on just chopping my hair off before going to Boot Camp or OCS and I wanted to get some perspective on people who have been through this.
I love my hair longer but I also don’t want to cause a lot of damage and would rather chop it off and let it grow after.
