It's really all dependent on your RDCs. I can tell you that for my divisions, all the girls that had weave had to take it out. One girl had short (very short... like 2 inch long) dreads that they let her keep. When we got our hair cuts, they made all the girls take their braids out (didn't matter how small they were) to make sure the length didn't exceed the collar. For the rest of the time, the girls had to keep their hair in corn rows (if they couldn't keep it 'neat looking' otherwise), although some opted to cut their hair super short with the sewing scissors. For the ones that kept their hair in corn rows, I don't think they even had to go back and get hair cuts so long as they kept their hair braided.

Hope that helps!
