its a catch 22 situation,. cause to qualify for an exception they would probably need to be freeform and have deep personal meaning
but the regulations that alow women (from what i hear) still have to be worn in regulation ways. and most likely not freeform
so with the transgender ban you maybe cant become female to keep them
you could argue that although they started in a salon they gained deep spiritual or religious meaning
it wont be easy
also.. with crazier and crazier people getting in power its a scary time to join the military
you could die from a tweet.. thats not a risk i'd want to take
well if they were started in a salon they are not natural
how do you maintain them/ natural dreads are not maintained its the salon and maintenance that might get in the way of a religiousexception
Yes my locs are natural. I've been growing them for 4 years. I use no product in them and no longer go to the salon I maintain my hair on my own.
are your dreads natural? if they are natural you have a better chance of justifying the religious exception (maintained or salon dreads could be argued they are just a style choice not deep personal commitment)
on the other hand the females who get exceptions (only heard of it from africasn americans) they havfe to wear them in a way that fits into the strict regulations
but if you are willing to risk your lifde for the country they should respect your desire (they don't) toi retain some individuality so i would fight for you if i can i could certainly write a letter explainig why they should allow it
but if they don't accept that well you might want to consult a civil rights advocate or even the aclu
hi well you need to fight for a religious exfception
if you are female they do make some allowances even without the religious exception
its not easy unfortunately
