How Do I Prevent My Ponytail From Being too Heavy?



If your long hair tends to pull your head back or down, get it into a ponytail. However, if the ponytail is too heavy and you find yourself having to hold up your head and neck with your hands, you will get pain in your neck. If it is too heavy, the neck and shoulder muscles supporting your head and neck will tire. So, you have to have light and bouncy hair for a ponytail. 80% of women in their forties, fifties and sixties suffer from chronic pain and neck strain. If your ponytail is too heavy, it will cause a lot of strain on your neck, shoulders and upper back. I am a girl and I have this problem too.


There are several ways to solve it:


1. Get a good hair tie.


2. Don't wear too many hair accessories.


3. Ponytail higher up on hair.


Carry your hair in a double loop if you want it to feel lighter. If you want to hold the ponytail in a single loop, you can use a hair clip to hold down the hair at the bottom to make it feel lighter. You can do this by spreading the strands out and holding the two ends of the hair together, then tucking the hair in.




If your ponytail is too heavy, you can simply take a strand of hair out at the side, just to lower the weight a little. If you are starting out with a heavy weight in your hair, you can start with a thin ponytail, and then gradually increase the thickness. Another thing you can do is to have a band-aid or a scrunchie at the top of your hair to prevent it from sliding through your ponytail. You can use a “crisscross” ponytail holder to prevent the heavy hair, which usually happens during the winter when you don’t wash it. First, separate the hair into three sections. Then, crisscross the hair with two ponytail holders into three sections. It’s simple and effective.




I assume you mean hair not ponytail. Well, there are many ways to prevent your hair from being too heavy - you can use dry shampoo, which is a powdered shampoo that absorbs oil and leaves hair feeling clean. You can wash your hair less frequently and use volumizing products. Lastly, you can get a shorter style that won’t require you to pile your hair on top of your head. If your hair is too long and heavy, you may want to consider cutting it short. Your hair is a living thing, just like your scalp. You need to take care of your hair and scalp in the same way you take care of your skin. Caring for your ponytail hairstyle is no different. The good news is, there are things you can do to keep your hair from getting too heavy and keep your scalp from getting too dry.




Well, a ponytail on a woman is a beautiful way to showcase our long hair. It's the practical way to tie up hair when wearing a low side bun or low chignon with a headband. Ponytails are less formal than a up-do, easier to wear than a braid, and more versatile than a half up-do. But, if your ponytail is too heavy, you may experience some discomfort or pain, especially if you have fine or thin hair.
