  If you can prove it was religious or medical problem, you can be excused.
  
  But seriously, it would be better... no need to shampoo so much and dry faster to sleep... you can only imagine what your hair will smell after 7 days field camp, no bath, mud, swear, etc...

  If it's for valid religious purpose, you're allowed to keep your hair. But there'll be some hygiene problem as the hair is kept inside the turban long hours.

  Well, i think you guys have some misunderstanding here.
  
  Skinhead is used to describe the hair cut in the photo i have above. That's what a proper British skinhead culture era's skinhead haircut would look like, i.e. the standard definition of skinhead.
  
  Crewcut is very similar to skinhead, but longer, and often the sideburns are not emphasized.
  
  Whereas, completely no hair, would be well, not even a haircut at all in the most technical sense.
  
  So yea, a case of misused term here.
