Hair has started to really hurt/ache when in a pony tail

[sleepismysuperpower1]

my head/ Hair has started to really hurt/ache when in a pony tail. does anyone have any (easy- my limits are regular plaits) styles that would be less strain on the roots?

thank you x

I put mine up with a hair clip thingummy- the kind with prongs that you press to open and snaps shut. Dead easy to do. Gather hair into pony tail, twist hair round to make a really long thin line of hair, then coil up into bunnish shape and clip it.

Have also just bought slip silk hair ties/scrunchies (the smaller ones) which feel much less tight than normal hair ties and are supposed to be better for your hair. Eye wateringly expensive though.

Double pony tail bands to take the weight

I get this and gave up a long time ago. My hair is wild and free now

thank you all for the replies. Lumene where did you get the silk bands from? please could you let me know if they actually do feel any different when in your hair? x
