What do you do with your hair?

[uforgot]

I had my hair cut shorter than I've ever had it before a few months back. I have always had shoulder length or beyond, so it was easy. Put it in a ponytail. Now I can't. It's earlobe length, but the hair on the back of my neck is just long enough to be hot hot hot, but not long enough to pull up in a ponytail. Is there anything out there to keep me cool or to pull my hair up somewhat?

Even though I have a ponytail, I wear a coolmax head cover dealie, and it makes a difference to my temperature regulation on my head, especially on hot days (and I notice on cool days it keeps the sweat moving and me from getting chilled). I don't think that would help with the hot hair against the back of your neck, though, unless you piled it in. Maybe you could wear a sweatband behind your hairline?

This is what I have, but I think with short hair it might not work as well:

That sweatband may be the ticket. It has to have some grip and this one looks like it may. I can't wear those regular elastic headbands, they just pop right off of baby fine hair. Thanks. I'm going to look into those. It's not just for cycling, mowing the grass kills me too!

I have chin-length, babyfine hair. I LOVE my Buff. I also have worn Headsweats and Wickie Wear do-rags, but the Buff is hands-down my favorite. Keeps the sun off my forehead and scalp and the sweat our of my eyes. I wear it for running and under my helmet for biking.

Yup, half a Buff is my summerwear under helmet. Keeps hair back and up (I have have long enough hair to make a tiny ponytail, but I tuck it into the back of my rolled up Buff to keep that horrendously expensive colour job out of the sun), and picks up sweat.

Ah, a buff is a great idea, too, same concept as my cap except it goes all the way to your neck. I noticed my REI is selling them now, hooray!

Buff ( http://www.buffwear.com/ ) Should be lots of TE references (I learned about it here)

You should be able to find references on TE. The only disadvantage is that once you've got your hair in the buff, you'll be wearing the buff until you take a shower.

Still, I prefer my assorted buffs to helmet hair.
