My hair's just past my knees, and I have my hair in a coiled up ball at the base of my neck. I braid it first, then slide the braid into a home-made nylon hair sleeve, then roll it up to my neck. I also have curly/wavy hair and my scalp frizz can get so totally out of control after a ride - helmet hair isn't just for "shorties". I haven't worn my braid down my back since someone in a car tried to reach out and grab it a couple years ago. Sometimes I'll put it into a low bun and pull a snood (hair net) over it all. During the winter I use a do'rag for a little warmth (it doesn't get that cold here) and a headband to cover my ears.
