Fifth in a series of stories during Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Change 5:
Authorizes female Soldiers to wear “multiple” hairstyles at once as long as they are neat in appearance and don’t impact the proper wear of headgear and equipment.
For example, braided twists or loc hairstyle with side twist to secure hair placed in a ponytail or two single cornrows encompassing all the hair going into a ponytail or a bun in the back of the head.
Also, the change removes the restriction that braids, cornrows, twists, and locs have the exact dimensions and the same approximate size of the spacing between them.
Change 6:
Authorizes female Soldiers to wear solid color shades of lipstick that are not extreme. Extreme colors include but are not limited to purple, bright pink, bright red, gold, blue, black, hot pink, green, yellow, ombre, and fluorescent/neon colors.
