The US Army's new grooming policies seem to discriminate against Black women with natural hair.
Opponents of the new policies say they specifically target women of color who wear their hair natural. Natural is defined as any hair that has not been chemically processed to alter its texture. Unauthorized hairstyles now include twists, dreadlocks, Afros and braids that are more than a quarter-inch thick - styles commonly worn by many African-American women.
After the new measures take effect, soldiers who wear these hairstyles will have to remove them or cover them with wigs or extensions if they do not want to face administrative discipline.
