NYSC Rules on Hairstyles for Men
Why Your NYSC Capture Photo Matters
- This photo will be on your ID card throughout service year
- It appears on your final NYSC certificate (permanent document!)
- Camp officials want all photos to look uniform and professional
What Happens If You Go With Plaited Hair?
Some camps allow it if the style is very neat and not too flashy. But in strict states like Lagos or Abuja, officers might ask you to:
- Loosen the plaits immediately
- Cut your hair completely
- Reschedule your capture day (wasting time!)
Better Safe Than Sorry: Hair Tips for Guys
To avoid stories that touch:
- Comb it down smooth with styling gel if your hair is long
- Trim edges to make it look sharp
- Ask previous corps members about your camp’s specific rules
- Save special styles for after capture day – you can plait during camp if allowed!
Final Word
Your NYSC capture photo stays with you forever. While expressing your style is good, follow these tips to avoid embarrassment or delays. If unsure, just “press am down jeje” with gel or go for a clean cut. Better to look sharp now and enjoy your service year without trouble!
