My hair is collar length with bangs. I pull the front up to the top of my head and put an elastic thingy in it and catch the end of that ponytail in a lower one that catches the hair at the back of my head and makes a tail below my helmet. Any strays usually stay behind my ears, once I have my helmet on. My problem is my bangs. I push them up into the helmet, but post ride they are wet and standing up and over and all around. Sometimes I carry a hat in my trunk bag. Or, I use a headband to pull it all back and off my face after a ride. Somehow, standing around with other riders after a ride and fixing my hair with a headband seems so vain. I never know if I'm supposed to just walk around looking like heck and scaring people or, take the time to pull my hair back.
