[pct-l] Hair-guys AND gals

[RJ Lewis]

OK, now how 'bout the gals? What do the gals do about their hair? Some 
of us have rather long hair-- I know mine is waist length, and I have NO 
plans to shorten it significantly before my hike. My husband would 
absolutely sh*t if I came home with short hair. I know you can braid it, 
pony tail it etc.....and for us gals, of course there is the inevitable 
pit/leg hair issue......Do you all just "deal", or do you make 
arrangements for removal every so often? Just curious......Leg hair/pit 
hair drives me nuts, although mine tends to grow rather slowly and I 
really don't have all that much of it, thanks to some Native American 
heritage. It's still annoying after awhile.

Gals? Let's hear from you!!
