Army authorizes female soldiers to wear ponytails; critics say branch trying to be ‘woke’<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Army\u00a0has authorized female\u00a0soldiers\u00a0to wear ponytails while in\u00a0uniform,\u00a0marking a significant departure from a long-held policy that’s drawing\u00a0both support and criticism.<\/p>\n

The branch approved the move back in February,\u00a0initially only allowing ponytails to be worn\u00a0while conducting field or fitness training.<\/p>\n

The change was made due to concerns over certain health conditions, including alopecia — a type of hair loss — and to stop hair damage caused by a tight bun.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I was wondering when tight buns would be a problem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A military doctor once told me that women that pull their hair back from their scalp and back into a bun in the back actually cause their hairline to recede backward if they do it over years.\u00a0 Makes me think that a neat, short cut with a few bangs may be a better style.<\/p>\n

Guys like bangs, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
