Hi ! As a female, does having bangs violate the hairstyle requirements when in uniform?

Hi, lots of serving individuals have a fringe (myself included). As long as you can see and you're not having to blow it out your eyes every 2 secs then have it however you want. When i wear my beret i tuck it under (or it looks ridiculous) but as soon as my beret's off i just puff my fringe up and it's good to go! ;)
Girls can pretty much have any hairstyle they like - as long as it's not an unnatural colour (blue, pink etc) and it's off the collar when in uniform (ie tied up!) no one is going to say anything! Hope that helps.
