Why can't you braid leg hair?

Stepping away from the normal banter about facial hair, I thought today's topic should be more focused on leg hair.

Here is an article about leg hair and why it won't grow forever.

I would imagine if this wasn't the case, we'd be able to eventually braid our leg hair, but that just doesn't sound very fun.

Inspiration

In case you needed some inspiration for getting through the month, check this blog out. It's dedicated to mustaches of the 19th century. It really makes you wonder why more people don't grow the mustache anymore. This blog has daily posts featuring pictures and descriptions of mustaches from that era. Also check out the glossary of terms.

A welcome feeling

The fresh November air hit my face like a familiar dream as I left my apartment this morning. Fortunately for my face it is No Shave November again. I am very excited to be letting my facial hair grow like nature intended again, and this month could not have come soon enough as any of my friends could tell you that I was impatiently awaiting the arrival of this day.

I hope you are participating in this yearly ritual too and not just another observer. It is much more exciting (especially if you plan on being a faithful reader of this blog) to both be growing your hair and reading about it.

If you are unfamiliar with the rules, I will briefly outline them here. The name of the event, No Shave November, hopefully describes itself well enough. There should be no shaving for the month of November. As we completely support equal opportunity, there are ways for both men and women to participate. We encourage men to refrain from shaving their faces and women from shaving their legs. If you live in the United States and feel that Thanksgiving is a factor that could stop you from participating, it is acceptable to shave right before or on Thanksgiving to look respectable for family. Otherwise, don't shave until December is upon us.

Stay tuned with this blog throughout the month to find out how I am doing with my facial hair, how my friends are faring as they participate, as well as information on hair, facial hair, and just being hairy.
