I can't stand hair in my face when I run and do physical activity and that's exactly what it will do if it's chin length.

Actually, for girls like myself who are black and have relaxed hair a sew in is the BEST thing to do in this situation. And even if someone like me were to get one and have it taken out, trust me, its better to have at least tried. Our hair requires A LOT of maintenance and sew ins reduce that GREATLY! Thats why I got one.

And our hair grows slower than other ethnicitys so cutting our hair, especially if its long, is kinda a big deal :/

Well unfortunately...no one can really predict what the RDC's are going to do to our hair....if it's longer than regulations, it will be cut. If it meets regulations, the RDC may stil have you get it cut even shorter, just to screw with your head....who knows...I already cut my hair short...letting it grow out incase they decide to make me cut it again during P-days...it's only hair...it'll grow back eventually

I keep my hair buzzed, so it doesn't really matter to me anyway. All I can say is just expect to get your hair cut... if they don't then great. I'm even expecting them to cut mine too

As been stated several times in this post...it is up to the RDC if your hair is getting cut at boot. One thing to keep in mind..the RDC's know you were told about the regulations on hair...if they feel like it, they will make you take out a weave or sew in to cut it anyway...and THAT will put a target on your back as someone who refused to listen to the rules...just something to think about as they will look for any reason to come down on you....and if you cry about it when they do it..wow...I would hate to be in your shoes!

Above the collar. But not so short that it is considered "faddish"
