How do you like your ponytail: High or low?

[0xalis]

I only use scrunchies and they're a very silky texture and my hair doesn't seem to get damaged at all from ponytails. I can totally understand getting damage from thin elastics or scrunchies made with a rough material. When my hair gets *long* I want to do a ponytail that ties like 6 inches from the ends Like princess garnet from final fantasy 9. I can see a lot of people on LHC are against ponytails... I can't wait till my hair is long enough to do more styles that are safer :P

I've always preferred low ponytails (at ear length or at the nape of my neck) because high ponytails give me a headache for some reason. I used to wear ponytails all the time, and still do on no-wash days, but that's just because i don't have good buns in my repertoire (just started a thread on this lol).

I have been feeling lately like ponys cause breakage, and I sometimes feel resistance and/or hear breakage when removing my elastic at night. So I think I'm done with them.

I like to wear it, in between high and low. low is too much on my neck and my hair isnt long enough for high yet

Oh boy, I stopped wearing ponytails a while ago. But if I do need one, I'd wear a low ponytail; my hair's too thick and poofy to look nice in a high ponytail.

Also, lol at the facelift comments! The US pretty much calls those facelifts (without the location prefix.)

I permanently lost hair in the crown area from tight high ponytails and half-ups.. so I guarantee when I get to a ponytail length I will be wearing mostly low styles.

I'm not a fan of high ponytails on anyone out of their teens. I think they either look very childish or very dominatrix-ish. I usually do a mid ear ponytail so the ponytail doesn't lay on my neck and make me sweat. My hair is getting to the point where ponytails have become uncomfortable in the past. The weight of the ponytail will pull on my scalp and make it hurt. I am also worried about hair loss from wearing a heavy ponytail. I find that ponytails are often the answer when I need to go out and my hair is a greasy mess and I don't have time to wash it. But then so is a bun!

I always liked a medium-high ponytail, fairly tight. Then I started realizing I was getting breakage, so I trained myself to like a low loose ponytail, in hopes it would cut down the damage.

Now that I'm used to the low ponytail, I like each about equally.

I don't wear them often, but I prefer a high ponytail when I do.

I'd love to wear it high but the weight and slipperiness make it impossible. It's a low pony by default.

Exactly the same here! I often where my ponytail with a flexi but my hair is to heavy so it always ends up in a low one

I love wearing mine in a high one, but I never do. I find my hair pulled that tight up that high makes my scalp ache a bit.
