What do you do with long hair...

When you exercise? I can't stand it in my face so I put mine in a ponytail, but that doesn't work very well for floor exercises when I'm on my back. Pigtails, maybe? Or would they slap me in the face? I don't have the knack for buns that won't fall apart. What am I missing?

I know what you mean. My hair isn't real long, but I put my pony higher upon my head and that helps. I think pigtails would work since they would be on the sides rather than on the back of your head.

I wear mine in a high bun held with a three tined hair fork. If it's on the back of my head it's too uncomfortable when I'm lying down.

I sometimes just wear it in a braid.

I wear a high messy bun. Works great even on the floor.

I do ponytail or braid depending on what type of workout I'm doing.

I wear a headband along with a high ponytail. Not the best for floor work, but I adjust it higher if needed. I put my hair in pigtails once and felt like a little kid. No one could see it but me and dh, but I still felt silly.

My hair is waist length and I do a high braided bun. I gather it in a ponytail on top of my head, braid it and wrap it around into a bun and hold it in place with a few bobby pins.

Thanks, everyone! I think I will try a high ponytail, maybe with a headband as suggested. I had several inches cut off recently and maybe a high ponytail won't slap me in the face like it used to. My hair and I have a rather adversarial relationship.

I just do a very low pony tail if I'm going to be laying in my back.
