On his very first day of deployment in Baghdad, Iraq, in 2005, U.S. Air Force Captain Mark Harper received an unexpected crash course in U.S. military grooming policies. It occurred when, as Officer In Charge of the Joint Combat Camera team, he was assigned to the joint environment of U.S. Army headquarters at Camp Victory. “I found out that there’s a big difference between what the Air Force deems an appropriate haircut and what the Army does,” Harper said. “It’s my first day on deployment and I know I’m going to be spending it entirely with the Army, so I make sure my uniform looks its best and I’m clean shaven. As I’m walking into headquarters, literally every single soldier turns to...

In a nod to diversity, Army loosens rules on hairstyles, grooming Female soldiers can let their hair down and flash a little nail color under new rules being approved by the Army. But male soldiers will still have to shave.

The changes, which also expand allowances for earrings and hair highlights and dyes, are particularly responsive to women of various ethnicities, and will allow greater flexibility for braids, twists, cornrows and other styles more natural for their hair. The new regulations...

Posted by Jane Metters LaBarbara. Blog post by Jane Metters LaBarbara, Assistant Curator, WVRHC. The variety of styles of dress, hair, and facial hair that we see in the WVRHC’s online photographs database, West Virginia History OnView, never fails to surprise me. Today, I’d like to focus on a few of the many ways men expressed themselves thru facial hair in the late 1800s. This gentleman, G. P. Gardner of Point Pleasant, exemplifies a popular hairstyle from the 1850s. Hair was oiled and worn long on top, styled to achieve a high wave or puff at the center of the forehead. Like many other men (not just young men) in the early part of the decade, Gardner is clean shaven....

It was Ben Franklin who wrote, “He who neglects his hair neglects his country.” Well, all right, he never did say that but he would’ve had he thought of it, because Ben understood the importance of a well put together coiffe of hair. The military has undergone some variations on its way of thinking about hair for men. Back in the early days, it was cool to have long hair. Hell, if you didn’t want to have long hair you’d have to get a wig! And for those who couldn’t afford the fancy up-dos, there was always the fallback of bear grease and flour to rub through your locks. Might not smell the best – and it would attract flies – but damn if you...

Gary Brown: Put the album away before more damage is done Perhaps few things in life prompt more home remodeling and room redecorating than looking at old photographs. Perhaps few things in life prompt more home remodeling and room redecorating than looking at old photographs. Who knew that family photo albums filled with images of the way we were — wait, were we like that? — could be so expensive and time-consuming? And I don’t mean just the cost of the glossy pictures and the leather-bound books that we keep them in. Friends recently were looking through their cherished photos and most members of the family were remembering important moments or recalling fond...

The American Civil War (1861-1865) coincided with a rise in the popularity of men’s full facial hair during the mid-19th century. Contemporary photography captured men’s experimentation with an endless variety of styles, including mustaches, muttonchops, underbeards and sideburns. President Abraham Lincoln embraced the widespread trend himself when he grew his iconic beard in 1860. Now as then, facial hair conveys meaning regarding masculinity, class, religious belief, and social conformity. This type of self-expression is not only intensely personal but also tied to larger community values. One hundred fifty years since Civil War generals enhanced their wartime visages with whiskers,...
