Hairy causes hair, fur or bristles to grow, until a minimum length of 18 inches is produced. If the recipient's hair is more than 9 inches before the cantrip's effect, it will be increased until its twice normal length.

Since the effect is permanent, and the creature's hair will continue to grow normally whether or not it's cut, there's a potential for creating hair of excessive length similar to that of Rapunzel ... understanding, of course, that this could become a considerable impediment.

Hair growth occurs at a speed of 1 inch per second (12 inches a round), which is shocking for unsuspecting recipients. Once affected, creatures must make a save vs. magic or be motionless with panic for 1 round; thereafter, they must make a morale check to remain in combat.

If they are determined to continue fighting, then until they can manage the hair growth, they will be -4 to hit with weapons. Most combatants so affected will give ground until they can either tie their hair with a thong (2 rounds, assuming they have such an item) or use a blade to rapidly cut it (3 rounds).
