I'm a guy, so maybe my view is bias.

The way I see it is that you are going into basic training for the military. You are no different from the rest of the recruits. Everyone is going to get their hair cut. No one is going to look their best. If you are worried about how you look during basic training, YOU HAVE YOUR PRIORITIES WRONG. There's more important things to be using your precious few minutes of free time on. Your hair will grow back and you can worry about your appearance once you graduate and make it to your A-School. Everyone has gone through what you will go through.
