Well obviously SOF will now have close-cropped hair and no facial hair, just to be special.

I’m still not sure why the Senate and House have to agree on whether or not the USAF and USSF can have facial hair, especially when shaving waivers are already a thing.

Dress Regs have to be made in Congress? Don't they have Commanders and Command SM's/Master Sgt's to come up with that sort of thing?

Because the Congress is heavily populated with reactionary old farts (not necessarily aged in years, but in mindset) who view anything that changes the makeup, diversity, modernisation and/or appearance of the American military as "woke" and hold the power of the purse and approval of promotion of senior officers over the leadership of the military departments.
