Ponytail problems - WDYD?

If it is a fleece balaclava you won't even need to do anything to the hole.

This one works for me!!!

I cut a slit in nearly all of my head coverings to accommodate my ponytail. However, I also wear a Giro Prolight helmet, which has a very nice elastic band at the back of the head instead of the usual plastic cinching devices that you normally find on bike helmets. Because of this elastic band that "gives", I don't feel that lump of ponytail on my head. But usually I just pull it through the slit that I cut in my hats and beanies.

Oh duh, I never thought to cut a slit! I'm a seamstress, so i can overlock if needed. I also never thought of a french braid, and here i french braided my hair every day for 4 years when i was in the army.

I'm going to try the french braid and if i that doesn't work out, i'll put a hole in the balaclava (and the wool buff - I wear both. It is freeeeezing in indiana). Thanks!!

I usually put my hair in a pony tail at the base of the neck.

My problem is my hair gets really, really sweaty (not smelly sweaty, just after-40-hot-stuff-wet sweaty.) So I put a low ponytail at the base of my neck and pull it back halfway through to do a little half bun, so that when I get to work and brush my hair out, it dries with a nice little swing at the bottom. With the pony tail holder low below the helmet, it doesn't bother anything - maybe a little lump in the balacava but nothing major.

I pull the end of the ponytail up and over my head--kinda like a modified Donald Trump style for cycling. That way it's not in contact with my neck. Another thing that I do is wear a women's polar fleece fly fishing cap with ear flaps and a ponytail cut out and pair it with a winter Buff to cover my nose, mouth and throat.

That's what friends are for!
