Females can have "masculine" hairstyles now but males have to keep the same old-school cuts unless they have a religious exemption.

You’re going to be hard pressed to find anyone in military leadership that will critically analyze the grooming standards, mostly because there is a culture that is decidedly against critical thinking.  
The facts are that there is no legitimate reason to ban beards or longer hair on men; this rule is currently under review by the pentagon as it pertains to effective wear of safety equipment like gas masks.  
And when the inevitable conclusion is reached, it will then fall back to the oldest argument the military has- “well it’s unprofessional”.  
So whenever I heard soldiers bitching and moaning “well girls get to have long hair!!”, I just hear “the military has conditioned me to accept bullshit explanations for regulations, and instead of actually thinking about the historical context for those regulations, I will complain that someone else has a thing I want instead of lobbying for everyone to have it”.  
The great thing about 670-1 (if you’re in the Army) is that everything, at the end of the day, can be penalized by some dipshit SNCO under the most nebulous interpretation of “professional” or “faddish” possible. You can have a haircut that is completely within regulations, and some fat fuck with more hair on their back than they could ever grow on their head will get mad that you look better than they do, tell you it’s “unprofessional” in their eyes, and order you to go get a fade at the PX during lunch. And since you can’t tell him to fuck off, a lot of people will internalize their feelings and then try to blame women and their damn hair buns somehow.
