    Re: The Ponytail Thing

    The WORST thing someone with long hair can do is put it in a ponytail and plait it - it's dangerous!
    As someone who has long hair, and likes it that way, I've experienced all sorts in the same veins Lory describes - and I've even had men lead me into moves using my ponytail cos they think it's funny - ouch!
    Does anyone else who uses a ponytail to keep their hair tidy and stop them getting hot have the problem that if they make it too high it whips into peoples' eyes and if it's too low it whips around your own throat and strangles you?
    Think I might go back to my ballroom bun - it's horrible for me, but easier on the people I dance with...
    ... I've lost count of the number of times I've felt the need to apologise for my ponytail whipping someone in the face - curiously though, some men seem to like it

    Re: The Ponytail Thing

    I was wondering about tying something to the end of my ponytail to weigh it down a little - but that runs the risk of going into a spin and scoring a win by knockout, which I think is a different sport...
    I wonder, though, about putting something a few inches down from the top. Then it'd help weigh things down, but would be close enough to my head to avoid concussing anyone. I'm a bit scared to try it, though - I can hear myself repeating that justification to a judge!

    Re: The Ponytail Thing

    I'm a lady without a ponytail....But I enjoy the feeling of other ladies ponytails brushing against me while they dance nearby. (Especially Lily's and Lory's)

    There isn't a box for that ?

    Re: The Ponytail Thing

    I am a lady with a big ponytail who hasn't even considered what happens to it when dancing. Sorry everyone!!!

    It's a bad idea - been there done it, seen the scars...
    the problem is that you think it will wiegh it down, when in fact all it does is make it heavier and therefore more lethal when you spin.
    The only solution I've yet found is to tuck the end of the ponytail up into the band you're tying it back with, which really doesn't look very attractive at all IMO

    Ladies, let you hair/ponytails fly. Some of us love it. It's an art form staying untangled, don't spoil the fun

    Re: The Ponytail Thing

    I was not a fan of being pony-tailed however...
    Last Friday I was dancing with one of my absolute favourite partners. Whilst dancing and chatting (I might only be a chap, but even I can manage simple multi-tasking ) I became aware of a lovely fragrance wafting from my partner. I ascertained this was from her hair and complimented her on it. On her next spin, she very gently and sensuously (and unexpectedly) flicked said hair over my face - it was fab!

    Last sat at a Leroc “Greased lightening” dance many of ladies did indeed wear bunches and full, pink skirts and bobby socks. Lets get back to the 50s

    You know, if you ever show up somewhere so I can dance with you I'll put my hair in bunches especially!
    (you will, of course, have to be more specific about the type of bunches you want...)

    I wish, Andy, you would inform everyone of these things ( ) otherwise how were we supposed to know ( )
    Thanks for the tip, Pammy, will pack extra hair bands now I know

    Re: The Ponytail Thing

    Just went to vote but no option for ladies with long thick hair who don't wear ponytails

    am not allowed to not allowed to wear plaits either they have been forbidden since causing partner to bleed plaits being the worst as guy not only gets hit with hair but tie on end of plait

    have found that tying back part of hair works well - as it gets it out of my face but doesn't create a lethal weapon when I spin and i get to have long flowy-ish hair
