The U.S. Army will loosen restrictions on lipstick, nail polish and protective hairstyles in an effort to promote gender and racial inclusion. The U.S. Army this week unveiled an updated grooming policy that is set to go into effect in late February. The new policy also removes hair length and dimension requirements and allows ponytails and earrings.  The revisions were decided by a 17-soldier panel, including 15 women, who assessed grooming suggestions focused on health, wellness, diversity and inclusion of soldiers while keeping professional appearance in mind, the Army said.  I see (the new standards as) being a little bit more aware of the different hair textures and hair types that our soldiers have, said Deshauna Barber, CEO of Service Women s Action Network, an advocacy group for military women. Barber is African American and described her hair as one of the biggest struggles while in the military for 10 years.
