Are Ponytails Effective?

[Lucie]

Hello,

I have been doing the "bun" for almost three months. I am so tired of it! Plus, I am almost 12 post relaxer. The only issue I have is that my ponytail is a little past the bottom of my neck and brushes against my collar. Please give me other options!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

I would think doing some braid out, twist outs, french roll, or updo with a clip.

Variety is key...IA w/coco

You could vary the buns (if you haven't already). Here are a few bun variations http://www.haarkram.e-something.de/start.html.

I like Updos with claw clips. I twist my hair and leave the ends out so it looks like a mixture between bun/updo and ponytail. Before I used to wear ponytails but the holders broke my hair and put too much stress on my edges.

You hit the nail on the head for me! I feel the same way. I may claw it if I don't feel like wearing it down but a pony is a big no no for me. I think it is all about what works for your hair. Obviously the pony works for a lot of ladies here, but not me. It can be the same or opposite for you.
