If a woman has good reason to believe, in advance, that she is likely to be involved in running, jumping, shooting, punching, lifting, hauling, dragging, hitting, fleeing, chasing, climbing, diving and/or any activity that is likely to make her sweat and/or require clear vision, and her hair is longer than chin length, there is a 99.9% chance that she will style it in a way that keeps it off her neck and out of her eyes. If she had no way of knowing In advance, then there is virtually a 100% chance that at some point after it becomes clear that she needs to stay cool and have clear vision she will make binding her hair a very serious priority. No matter how much sexier it is “flowing” (into her eyes and mouth) while the bullets fly, etc. Just sayin’. ---

And any woman living in a zombie-infested dystopia is probably gonna just keep her head shaved. (Or visit Carol’s hairdresser…fab!) ---

She has nice hair. People would kill for that hair (heh). June’s hair in that weird braid makes wanna puke. I have long hair and no friggin’ zombie apocalypse will make me cut it. I might do a ponytail but that’s it, just saying.😉 ---

She has to wear her hair up so she’ll look sexy when she lets it down and takes her glasses off. :o
