hmmmmmm not sure about it bothering you and getting in your face... i know i can't stand to have my hair loose when riding my bike or working out... ICK! i HAVE to put it in a ponytail!

i'm trying to figure out the pigtails under a helmet????

maybe you can use a sweatband/headband to hold it back away from your face if it's too short for a tiny ponytail? if it's too short for a ponytail... my best guess is yes.. it will get sweaty and stick to your face and neck....
