(1)
An accommodated Soldier may wear a hijab (head scarf) made of a subdued material in a color that closely resembles the assigned uniform (generally black, brown, green, tan, or navy blue as appropriate).
The material will be free of designs or markings, except that a Soldier wearing the ACU may wear a hijab in a camouflage pattern matching the uniform.
When directed by a commander, the Soldier may be required to wear a hijab made of fire-resistant ma-terial.
(2)
The hijab will be worn in a neat and conservative manner that presents a professional and well-groomed ap-pearance.
The hijab must be closely fitted to the contours of the head and neck and may not cover the eyebrows, eyes, cheeks, nose, mouth, or chin.
The bottom edges of the hijab will be tucked under the Soldier’s uniform top and all required headgear will still be worn.
(3)
Hair underneath the hijab must be worn in a hairstyle authorized for the Soldier in paragraph 3–2.
Referenced Paragraph: paragraph 3–2
Paragraph 3–2 establishes Army grooming and hair standards for Soldiers.
The bulk of the Soldier’s hair and hijab may not impair the ability to wear required headgear, the ACH, or other protective equip-ment;
impede the ability to operate an assigned weapon, military equipment, or machinery;
or interfere with the ability to perform the Soldier’s military duties (see fig 3–5).
