Definition: The hair must be neat, clean, and well groomed in appearance. The hair above the ears and at the nape of the neck must be tapered from the hairline upwards at least 3/4 inches. In some cases, the taper may be combined with a line at the neck if the texture of the hair makes a taper difficult to attain. Hair may be no longer than four inches and may not touch the ears, collar, or eyebrows. The length and bulk of the hair may not interfere with properly worn headgear and may not be styled in a manner that allows the hair to extend more than two inches from the scalp.
