<p>My daughter is planning to be part of USNA Class of 2011.. and we were discussing her long hair today and having it all cut off. As her hair is naturally curly, it might be WILD when cut short so she said I WONDER IF I CAN GO GI JANE .. or Crewcut short? Anybody know of females cutting nearly all of their hair off for Plebe Summer? Also, we do not want her to be stereotyped if she did do that. any thoughts? Just curious.</p>
<p>At NASS last year my mid told me one girl in his class got it shaved and she got a lot of grief for it. So its probably not a great idea. </p>
<p>I'm a guy but have fairly long curly hair. So far it hasn't been cut for 3 months and it is getting really shaggy, but I don't plan on having it cut until i-day. My mom doesn't like it but thats the deal we made. hehe</p>
<p>Im pretty sure there is something in mid regs saying that girls cant shave it...i know that guys cant even "BIC" their heads...ill look that up for you, but as a recommendation, even though the mid boys are supposed to be the most respectful and blah blah in the country, i guarantee you will be labled, well..a lesbian if you cut your hair like that. please dont take that the wrong way, i just dont want you getting unnecessary grief. the guys here can be mean some times (so can the girls), so i would def. suggest against it. but ill look it up in mid regs for you.</p>
<p>yeah i'm pretty sure as well that girl's can't shave their heads.</p>
<p>Question for the ladies: Do they enforce the no hairtie thing? Stupidest rule ever.</p>
<p>yes they do during plebe summer, and its another one of those stupid rules that do torment you.</p>
<p>Well, so far that's the most stupid.</p>
<p>Those were my thoughts exactly!</p>
<p>I was reading and thought, "What the heck? Sure, we'll have short hair, but no hair ties? Barrettes? Come on! Those things fall off so easily!" </p>
<p>I'm thinking about investing in some hair gel and a small comb (like the small free black ones from the barbershop)...or glue.</p>
<p>That is exactly what I'll be doing... that little black comb, a lot of gel and hairspray, and a little bit of braiding skillz. I'm going to try and get away without cutting my hair.</p>
<p>If you think that rule is stupid, wait until you get to the real ones....</p>
<p>Yeah, I know we haven't even scraped the surface of stupid red tape BS.</p>
