I have rather thick and unruly hair which I always put up in a pony. Is there anything else I can do

So I put my hair up every morning before school (I'm 17 and a senior in high school) for two reasons: 1) I have a scooter and even though I wear a helmet, my hair stills gets blown around quite a bit and gets all tangled up if I leave it down, and 2) it's an unruly mess if I don't.

I have tried to keep it down for a few periods in the past, but to no avail. I'll arrive in, say, precalc with my hair down, brush it out to make sure there are no tangles and it's the way I want it, and then I'll proceed to sit, do a few problems, maybe take notes, and then talk to my friend or listen to my zune (mp3 player). By the time class is over and the bell has rung (1 hour later), my hair has mysteriously become extremely tangled up and slightly poofy. Hell, I haven't even left my seat and my hair decides to screw up on me! So I then brush it out with my fingers, curse it, and then put it up never to let it down again (it's usually up at home, too).

Help! What can I do about this unruly mess?!

i have the same problem now too.

Try cutting your hair just below shoulder length. That is what i did and it actually worked its not a frizzy tangled mess anymore.

Even though i still keep it in a pony most of the time if i let it down it actually doesnt look like i havent brushed my hair that morning.

Mayb try a anti-frizz smoother in your hair, I have thick hair and thats what i use. I also got my hair thinned out, and now i have it layered all over seems to work alot better for me, good luck.

wow, um, first off, you look really good. and secondly, why don't you try straightening it and putting it in a french twist (or some other style). my friends actually did that to me (the french twist) today in class. (also a senior, but i'm 18) i have a lot of body to my hair, so straightening it usually fixes all that.
