my hair is both pretty long and pretty thick. I can't stand having a braid down the back of
my head because it pushes my helmet back. So what I do is low pigtails and then braid
them. A ponytail holder at the top and at the bottom. Then I unroll some wrapters on the
braids and that keeps my hair from getting all fly away. I even tie the ends together in
front of my jacket!
