<b>Black</b> Female Troops Disapprove Of Army&#39;s AR 670-1 Regulations <b>...</b> Posted: 02 Apr 2014 02:43 AM PDT The U.S. Army is being criticized for new regulations released on Monday. Army Regulation 670-1 consists of new rules on uniforms, grooming, hairstyles, and tattoos. Thousands of soldiers are questioning the new hairstyle rules, which are only applicable to women. Some soldiers are also saying that the new rules are racially biased, target black women's hair, and has a "lack of regard for ethnic hair." The regulations prohibit hairstyles with braids or cornrows that are wider than quarter of an inch. Dreadlocks and twists have also been banned. Women in the Army who are sporting these hairstyles must now find a way to cover them up with extensions or wigs, or get rid of them completely. Sgt. Jasmine Jacobs from the Georgia National Guard has launched a White House petition that requests the President to reconsider the new regulations and "allow professional ethnic hairstyles" in the Army. The petition has already reached 100,000 signatures, which is enough to garner a reply from the White House. Jacobs also mentioned in an Army Times interview that twists are one of the most popular hairstyles for black female soldiers, since it is low maintenance and easy to manage in the field. Jacob also wears her hair in twists and said that it has never been an obstruction to her headgear. Pentagon's Army representative Lt. Col. S. Justin Platt said that the new regulations are necessary in order to preserve uniformity among the soldiers. In addition, he also said that plenty of hairstyles can be worn, as long as they are conservative and neat. Paul Prince, an Army spokesperson, said that dreadlocks and twists have been prohibited since 2005. The new regulations just provide more details on what exactly is not allowed. Jacobs said that before the regulations, women had more options, but they were still able to keep a professional appearance. An Army veteran, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that most black soldiers choose to wear their hair naturally and they do not have the means to straighten their hair, especially when they are deployed. "When you're in Iraq, these hairstyles serve the purpose to protect you," she said. Image via YouTube Black Female Troops Disapprove Of Army's AR 670-1 Regulations For Hairstyles April 2, 2014

Sarah // Natural <b>Hair Style</b> Icon | <b>Black</b> Girl with Long Hair Posted: 01 Apr 2014 09:59 AM PDT Introduce yourself! S: My name is Sarah Angel Adesiyan. I am from Bolton, England. Why did you make the decision to go natural? S: I've been natural my whole life. My mum always steered me clear of weaves, and relaxers… My mum is just obsessed with my hair. How would you describe your texture? S: I don't know my hair in terms of 3a, 3b, etc., but I'd describe it as reasonably soft, and manageable as long as I remember to brush it and put conditioner or oil in it. Describe your styling regimen over the course of the month. S: Every day I usually just wash and condition my hair with the One N' Only Argan Oil Restorative Hair Mask, then blow dry my hair. I'm always mixing up the products I use so I wouldn't say there's a particular 'right' product for me. I'm currently using Argan Hair Mask. Sometimes I will tie my curls all on top simply using clips or a bobble. Due to a manageable texture I don't need to put any additional products in my hair when styling. What does wash day look like for you? S: I apply the One N' Only Argan Oil Restorative Hair Mask and just brush it through my wet hair during my morning shower. I sprinkle some water on it so it lathers a little, then blow dry my hair. Describe your favorite go-to hairstyle for days when you don't have a lot of time to style. S: I tie a bobble around my hair and split my curls so my hair looks frizzier. That's it really. Tell us about your hair color? S: I love dyeing my hair! At the moment it's a brown, ginger and blonde kind of colour… it all started with me dyeing literally a 12th of my hair, if even that! I did it myself with my best friend's help and we used Live Color XXL Max Blonde to get it this colour. I've dyed it on top around 7 times, I'd say. It has changed my hair texture, but not much. What are some of your problem areas (if any) that require special care and attention? S: My hair knots super easily, so I try not to sleep without it tied up unless I want super curly hair the next day. What are 2 do's for your texture? S: Don't forget to condition! Also if you have time, braiding your hair quickly before bed is helpful not only for your texture, but also for strengthening your hair. What are 2 don'ts for your texture? S: From my experience, as long as you keep brushing and conditioning you don't really have to hold back. Is there a blog/webpage where we can find you? S: I have a modelling page on a couple of sites and there is always my Instagram! @theultimatewaz http://purpleport.com/portfolio/sarahaadesiyan/?referrer=sarahaadesiyan http://www.modelmayhem.com/2630922
