I normally have my hair free, but for martial arts I pull it back into a loose (secured at shoulder height) ponytail with a seamless nylon hair tie. I can see that this definitely causes hair breakage though, and was planning to switch over to using a silk scrunchy, however, I noticed the other day, that even my nylon hair ties will no longer stay in my hair (my hair has become too slippery), so, I think silk might be a lost cause? How should I secure my hair without causing damage, if ties will not stay in place and I am unable to use anything that would be dangerous to fall on or otherwise pose problems for hand-to-hand combat, fencing, and archery?
I thought, what the hell, and just did class with my hair down once, but for my hair's sake, I should probably not repeat that experience - wound up being thrown to the ground, by my hair, and then having my opponent step on it in order to stop me in my tracks from rolling away... ow.
Oh, I should also add that I am terrible at doing even the simplest braid (I need a lot more practice), let alone anything more complicated (and I simply cannot make myself resort to a man-bun, even if I could master it, because of how ridiculous it makes me look).
