Pseudofolliculitis barbae possibly affects 45% of all black servicemen and is a source of much misunderstanding and social unrest in the military. A recent study of 96 cases of pseudofolliculitis barbae has elucidated a successful shaving technique. It employs a 30-day period of beard regrowth to eliminate ingrown hairs, twice-daily use of a new polyester skin-cleansing pad, and use of solely electric hair clippers for facial hair removal. Ninety-six percent of those using this technique could thereafter conform to the Air Force grooming code.

须部假性毛囊炎可能影响45%的黑人军人，是军队中诸多误解和社会动荡的根源。最近一项对96例须部假性毛囊炎病例的研究阐明了一种成功的剃须技巧。该技巧包括30天的胡须再生长以消除内生毛发，每天两次使用新型聚酯皮肤清洁垫，以及仅使用电动理发器去除面部毛发。采用该技巧的人中有96%此后能够符合空军仪容规范。
