I think ponytails are cute and easy...thats what I did on my cruise. I *thought* I was going to wear my hear out, but the wind was something awful so that went out the window. So out came the ponytail piece, it hasnt failed me yet in emergencies. In the miami heat/humidity, u might have a problem with frizz if u do a twist or braidout, these styles call for tweaking & trial and error to get right...I should know, Im in Orlando...!
