AR 670-1 Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia
Current Publication AR 670-1, 1 July 2002 Where can I find a copy?
www.usapa.army.mil/pdffiles/r670_1.pdf Why is it important to wear
your uniforms correctly? Chapter 1-7 (Page 2) The Army is a
uniformed service where discipline is judged, in part, by the
manner in which a soldier wears a prescribed uniform, as well as by
the individuals personal appearance.
Slide 4
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Mustache Chapter 1-8.a.2.c. (Page 3) If
worn, males will keep mustaches neatly trimmed, tapered, and tidy.
Mustaches will not present a chopped off or bushy appearance, and
no portion of the mustache will cover the upper lip line or extend
sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corners of
the mouth. Handlebar mustaches, goatees, and beards are not
authorized. If appropriate medical authority prescribes beard
growth, the length required for medical treatment must be
specified. Insert picture
Slide 5
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Fingernails Chapter 1-8.c. (Page 5) All
personnel will keep fingernails clean and neatly trimmed. Males
will keep nails trimmed so as not to extend beyond the fingertip.
Females will not exceed a nail length of 1/4 inch, as measured from
the tip of the finger. Females will trim nails shorter if the
commander determines that the longer length detracts from the
military image, presents a safety concern, or interferes with the
performance of duties. Chapter 1-8.b.1.b. (Page 5) Females will not
wear shades of lipstick and nail polish that distinctly contrast
with their complexion, that detract from the uniform, or that are
extreme. Some examples of extreme colors include, but are not
limited to, purple, gold, blue, black, white, bright (fire-engine)
red, khaki, camouflage colors, and fluorescent colors. Soldiers
will not apply designs to nails or apply two-tone or multi-tone
colors to nails.
Slide 6
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Cosmetics Chapter 1-8.b.1.b. (Page 5)
Standards regarding cosmetics are necessary to maintain uniformity
and to avoid an extreme or unmilitary appearance. Males are
prohibited from wearing cosmetics, to include nail polish. Females
are authorized to wear cosmetics with all uniforms, provided they
are applied conservatively and in good taste and complement the
uniform. Females may wear cosmetics if they are conservative and
complement the uniform and their complexion. Eccentric,
exaggerated, or trendy cosmetic styles and colors, to include
makeup designed to cover tattoos, are inappropriate with the
uniform and are prohibited. Permanent makeup, such as eyebrow or
eyeliner, is authorized as long as the makeup conforms to the
standards outlined above. Insert picture
Slide 7
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Tattoos Chapter 1-8.e. (Page 6) Tattoos
or brands that are visible in a class A uniform (worn with
slacks/trousers) are prohibited. Tattoos or brands that are
extremist, indecent, sexist, or racist are prohibited, regardless
of location on the body, as they are prejudicial to good order and
discipline within units. Chapter 1-8.e.3.b. (Page 6) For soldiers
who are not in compliance, commanders may not order the removal of
a tattoo or brand. However, the commander must counsel soldiers,
and afford them the opportunity to seek medical advice about
removal or alteration of the tattoo or brand. Existing tattoos or
brands on the hands that are not extremist, indecent, sexist, or
racist, but are visible in the class A uniform are authorized for
current soldiers. Insert picture
Slide 8
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Haircuts (Male) Chapter 1-8.a. (Page 3)
The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and
bulk of the hair may not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt,
or extreme appearance. The hair must present a tapered appearance.
When the hair is combed, it will not fall over the ears or
eyebrows, or touch the collar, except for the closely cut hair at
the back of the neck. The block-cut fullness in the back is
permitted to a moderate degree, as long as the tapered look is
maintained. Hair may not interfere with the normal wear of headgear
or protective masks or equipment. Males are not authorized to wear
braids, cornrows, or dreadlocks while in uniform or in civilian
clothes on duty. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the
scalp is authorized. Males will keep sideburns neatly trimmed.
Sideburns may not be flared; the base of the sideburn will be a
clean-shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the
lowest part of the exterior ear opening.
Slide 9
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Hairstyles (Male) Chapter 1-8.a. (Page 3)
Hairstyles that do not allow soldiers to wear the headgear
properly, or that interfere with the proper wear of the protective
mask or other protective equipment, are prohibited. Extreme,
eccentric, or trendy haircuts or hairstyles are not authorized. If
soldiers use dyes, tints, or bleaches, they must choose those that
result in natural hair colors. It is the responsibility of leaders
to use good judgment in determining if applied colors are
acceptable, based upon the overall effect on soldiers appearance.
Soldiers who have a texture of hair that does not part naturally
may cut a part into the hair. The part will be one straight line,
not slanted or curved, and will fall in the area where the soldier
would normally part the hair. Insert picture
Slide 10
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Haircuts (Female) Chapter 1-8.a.3.a.
(Page 5) Females will ensure their hair is neatly groomed, that the
length and bulk of the hair are not excessive, and that the hair
does not present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Females
may wear braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is
conservative, the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the head, and
any hair-holding devices comply with the standards. Hair will not
fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the
collar at any time during normal activity or when standing in
formation. Insert picture
Slide 11
STANDARDS OF GROOMING Hairstyles (Female) Styles that are
lopsided or distinctly unbalanced are prohibited. Ponytails,
pigtails, or braids that are not secured to the head (allowing hair
to hang freely), widely spaced individual hanging locks, and other
extreme styles that protrude from the head are prohibited. Females
will ensure that hairstyles do not interfere with proper wear of
military headgear and protective masks or equipment at any time.
Hair-holding devices are authorized only for the purpose of
securing the hair. Soldiers will not place hair-holding devices in
the hair for decorative purposes. All hair-holding devices must be
plain and of a color as close to the soldiers hair as is possible
or clear. Authorized devices include, but are not limited to,
small, plain scrunchies, barrettes, combs, pins, clips, rubber
bands, and hair bands. Devices that are conspicuous, excessive, or
decorative are prohibited. Some examples of prohibited devices
include, but are not limited to, large, lacy scrunchies; beads,
bows, or claw clips; clips, pins, or barrettes with butterflies,
flowers, sparkles, gems, or scalloped edges; and bows made from
hairpieces.

QUICK QUESTION Fire-engine red fingernail polish is authorized
for females, as long as it does not contrast against their
complexion, or detract from the uniform? QUICK QUESTION Chapter
