  The sealing area is the only area that must be clear of facial hair or other obstruction to an adequate seal which will be demonstrated by a challenge media typically a fit test booth that is quantitative or in come cases with a media that the wearer determines whether or not they can detect it in the mask (like a smoke test) a qualitative test. There is a requirement that hair may not obstruct operation of the mask valves but typically there is no restriction on hair length, I think women would object to cutting their hair short. ;)  Most security forces do have a dress code that covers length of hair or appearance and that may be gender specific.

My hair is about 14 inches long and I sport a nice pony tail been on the job for close to 20 years. My goal is to find independent verification on the beard respirator subject. I have been told 3 sites allow this.

Which sites? Maybe someone from that site could give you better insight.

wannabeard:
In order to verify the truth I'm not going to say which sites! Believe it or not people lie! I'm not looking for speculation, I would like to know what has been seen firsthand and where.
