I have very long hair. It's almost to my butt. It's completely pin strait and even with all the expensive hairspray (my mother is a hairdresser) it only does one thing: be strait!!! Keeping it in a ponytail is exhausting because it slides out even with the goody stay elastics, leaving it down ensures no matter what the weather that it will become a matted mess and curling it or pinning it up is impossible. I deal with it day to day by tying it in a bun.
See I have the opposite of the person who commented above me... Long wavy hair that won't stay straight no matter how hard I try, that will stay braided without even needing a ponytail holder, and requires two ponytail holders to hold it up in a ponytail simply because it is so thick and heavy. I love it and I just leave it in a low ponytail under my helmet, although I'm probably going to have to cut it a little if I get to show with my IHSA team at all, in order to do the "hunter hair" thing - there are no compromises with buns on our team. Only perfect hunter hair.
Hi, Julie. I'm a longtime reader but I'm pretty sure this is my first comment.
Anyway, I'm also a longtime rider and industry professional, and my hair actually has been compared many, many times to the hair on the Empress in that photo you posted- length, color, texture... I even kind of look like her.
My hair falls to mid-thigh, so even in a single braid (so it fits under my helmet!) I sit on the last few inches of it. In a show, there's some pretty elaborate French braiding going on to make sure my helmet still fits. I wind up with two braids coming out being my ears (like pigtail braids), and they get pinned and twisted into a small bun... and the tails of the braids hide inside my show coat!!
Thanks so much for being such a faithful poster, and since I also do historical reenactment I definitely appreciate your insight!
