Nope. My friend helped me take it out I think... after taps the Saturday before gradution so I could have time during holiday routine the next day to wash it and comb it out... etc! I wrote a letter to my mom telling her to schedule me a hair appointment for as soon as graduation ended. I literally spent all my liberty getting another sew in lol

Some MEPS will make you take it out. I know the one in Jacksonville for sure will make you do it bkuz thats what happened to one of the girls i went to A School with.

I would just plan to get it cut if it were me. Seems like a lot of wasted money if you get a sew in and they make you take it out. Personally, I'm chopping mine off as short as I can with it still being in regs before I leave. 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
