My cousin and I are at odds with each other concerning females shaving their heads while in active duty.

My cousin says it's allowed. I thought it was not, as it was considered "faddish."

Anyone know who's correct??

Female grooming standards specifically prohibit shaving any portion of the head. Navy Uniform Regs, 2201b

Just to clarify, the neckline can be shaved.

"Hairstyles shall not be outrageously multicolored or faddish, to include shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline), or have designs cut or braided into the hair." http://buperscd.technology.navy.mil/bup_updt/508/unireg/chapter2/chapter_2.htm

Ensuring that female sailors keep their hair in regs can be a huge headache because not everyone agrees with what is faddish what constititues minimum scalp exposure with cornrows, etc. Although it can be a bit surprising how many guys get hit too.

Males can shave their heads smooth if desired.

Speaking of shaving, I was reading the most recent issue of The Hook and one of the stories referenced a guy by the name of Saccomando - C/S "Shorn" :D I love that.

I hear that females must be able to do one arm push-ups though...

Similar to USMC Regulations, contained in MCO P1020.34F

"Faddish and exaggerated styles to include shaved portions of the scalp other than the neckline, designs cut in the hair, unsecured ponytails and styles which are distinctly unbalanced or lopsided are prohibited. Multiple braiding is authorized. If hair extensions are used in the braiding of the hair, the extensions must have the same general appearance as the individual's natural hair. Braided hairstyles will be conservative, and conform to other guidelines listed herein."
