Respect to pony tail guy for keeping his autonomy intact
Previous carrier we had a guy who was Native American. He had a 2 foot ponytail and he kept it braided, wrapped and pinned up under his hat. Everyone was cool with it even before it was cool to be cool with it. Awesome dude, loved flying with him.
