ARLINGTON, Virginia — As an outcome of the 101st Air Force uniform board, Air Force women will be able to wear their hair in up to two braids or a single ponytail with bulk not exceeding the width of the head and length not extending below a horizontal line running between the top of each sleeve inseam at the underarm through the shoulder blades. In addition, women’s bangs may now touch their eyebrows, but not cover their eyes.
These new changes will be effective upon publication of the new standards in Air Force Instruction 36-2903 in February.

“As I outlined in Action Order A: Airmen, this decision is a commitment to supporting the Airmen We Need and sustaining the culture and environment of excellence that will continue to make the Air Force an attractive career choice for Airmen and families,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr. “I’m thankful for the feedback and research conducted from a number of women leaders, the Women’s Initiative Team, the Air Force uniform board, and our joint teammates.”

Is there a safety reason for short hair that this impedes?

The length would be fine with me. I was a 1SG of an all male combat arms company in the Army so I never had to deal with that.
But for years these women hairstyles have started impeding normal, within regulation wear of headgear. I would have lost my mind if I wasn't in the Combat Arm of Decision.
ETA: better to have it a little longer rather than piled on top of your head and causing your headgear to look absolutely out of regulation.

I'm willing to inspect. For the good of the country, of course.
