(CNN) -- The US Army announced a change to its grooming policy on Thursday, allowing female soldiers to wear ponytails in all uniforms.
In January, the Army announced new policies that allowed soldiers to wear ponytails, locs, lipstick and earrings. They were permitted to wear medium-length ponytails on the back of the scalp that did not interfere with the fit of headgear. The Army also allowed women to wear ponytails while wearing Army combat uniforms or wearing headgear during tactical training or combat.
