Have a 12"+ long ponytail, and driving a Harley didn't provide me with a lot of options to avoid knots and tangles while riding.
1. Ponytail (spend an hour combing out knots & tangles after riding)
2. Braid (works great, but never figured out how to do it myself)
3. Triple ponytail (also works great, but was pain & broke hairs)
4. Tuck it under my shirt (usually some hair come out while riding)
But now I got a hairglove. This is a pretty cool thing. It's a piece of leather that attaches to your ponytail holder and wraps around the length of the hair. It's easy to put on and works great. I got it at www.wolftrax.com for like $15. I highly reccomend it to others with long hair who ride.

Cool, I'll have to remember that. When I took my MSF course I used one of these things http://www.skullcapcity.bigstep.com/generic1.html
With it I never had trouble putting on and taking off my helmet. Plus the part that hangs down I wrapped around my tail and tied it off so it didn't get all tangled in the wind.
Now if only I could just find a decent bike...
I use it every day. Best invention for longhaired motorcyclists.
Goes on easy. Comes off easy. Never a tangled hair. They're great.
It holds my foot long pony just fine.
I agree - mine is only 8 inches at the moment, but the glove works brilliantly keeping the tail tidy even under the helmet.
I ride alot and have alot of these too - they do work well! What I have found is the neoprene ones are alot lighter than the leather ones and you don't feel the weight of them as much as the leather ones!
Good for other sports too!

I am not a biker, but still find the hair glove a big help. As a dancesport competitor, my ponytail gets whipped around a lot. A few consecutive chaine turns and my ponytail can become pretty tangled. The hair glove keeps it in good shape and also help prevent my ponytail from slapping me in the face.
