Finnish conscript keeps long hair for now, decides after field training

Juuso Korpinen of Oulu will decide after field exercises whether to cut his long hair, reports Yle.

The Kainuu Brigade’s first intake of male conscripts with long hair began service under the same rules as women: hair must be secured and not left loose. Most new conscripts still have short hair.

Corporal Saana Niirala demonstrates how to neatly tuck long hair under a cap, recommending strong hair gel. Conscript Jessika Junttila can secure her hair in a bun in ten seconds.
