What is the maximum number of barrettes, combs, or clips permissible for female Sailors?

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer: (C)

A neat, professional appearance is the guiding idea here: hair accessories for female Sailors must be conservative and not overly noticeable. The policy allows up to two barrettes, combs, or clips to secure hair. Using two keeps hair tidy and uniform across the force, while three or more would break the standard. You could use two small, hair-colored clips to hold hair in place, or choose fewer or none, but two is the maximum permitted. This limit helps maintain a consistent, non-distracting look during duty.
