The U.S. Navy has announced that sailors will be allowed to grow their hair longer than the 2-inch regulation haircut if it reduces their exposure to the CCP virus pandemic.

“Commanding officers may allow for additional hair length and bulk on the sides, top, and back of the head,” Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, the chief of naval personnel, said in a statement on March 18.
