Male Air Force Hair Styles

(All information taken from AFI36-2903)

Will have a tapered appearance on both sides and back, both with

and without headgear. A tapered appearance is one that when

viewed from any angle outlines the individual's hair so that it conforms

to the shape of the head, curving inward to the natural termination

point. Block cut permitted with tapered appearance. Cleanly shaven

heads, military high-and- tight, or flat top haircuts are authorized.

Will not be worn in an extreme or fad style or in such a way that

exceeds length or bulk standards or violates safety requirements.

Protrude below the front band of properly worn headgear. Touch the

ears and only closely cut or shaved hair on the back of the neck may

touch the collar. Exceed 1 1/ 4 inches in bulk, regardless of length and

exceed 1/4 inch at the natural termination point. Contain or have any

visible foreign items attached to it.

Sideburns must be neatly trimmed and tapered in the same manner

as the haircut. Will be straight and of even width (not flared) and end in

a clean-shaven horizontal line. They may not extend below the lowest

part of the exterior ear opening.
