Hair in bootcamp

[LT Guppy]

Dellis is correct about the 2 barrettes and unlimited Bobby pins (but not to the point your hair is matted down).

Sock buns are allowed in the fleet. I haven't heard otherwise for boot camp.

The new regs have pictures showing what's acceptable.

How low or high can the bun be?

It has to be low for your cover it fit still. I'm not sure if you know human anatomy very well but I have been putting mine just above my occiput (its the "bumpy" bone just above the nape of your neck). I decided that I am bringing, and wearing a sock bun insert the day I ship that will match my hair. I'm sure they'll have them at the Nex as they have them at Walgreens and the Dollar Tree.

Yes that make perfect sense right on the back of the head at that bump before the nape. Thank you, that what I assume but wanted to make sure.

It should sit about even with your ears.

My friend just graduated in November and I was told that you can bring a hair bun device or a tube sock to cut and roll into the bun for bootcamp.
