Long-haired riders, how do you handle the mane when riding? (europe.pub)

I wear my hair in a ponytail and try to get it all into the tube scarf at the back, but it always manages to get out with shoulder-checks and other movement. It ends up matting so quickly, I was wondering if there were any simple hacks I was missing.

Look up the high tail. It attaches to the back of your helmet and you can tuck your hair inside of it. Absolute game changer.

Thanks for the suggestion! I checked it out and it does look very effective. Sadly I don't like the look of it at all, to the point where I'd rather just untangle my hair after every ride.
