I'm a fan of French twists. Enjoy them now before too much length forces you to modify it into a log roll.

I find changing how you form the bun helps. While normally you twist a gathered ponytail, and just continue twist the length around the base until there's no length left and tuck, try twisting the beginning as normal, then bring the length up and round like a horseshoe shape, tucking the ends behind what you've just created, near the original base of the 'ponytail' - in the middle of the bun, rather than the outside. I don't know if that made sense, but it works quite well on braided buns for me.
This might help clarify what I mean. See how it tucks behind itself in the middle rather than the outside?
Good luck.

Re: Hair Style Help for Thick Mid-Back Hair?
Not gonna lie, I misread this thread title as something having to do with styling back-hair. Ick. TMI - My father's sometimes forms ringlets.
Best of luck with your beautiful,thick head hair - I know it seems annoying, but I'd just love for my hair to be thicker.

I knew a woman with really long hair, not super thick, who did her bun in 2 parts. She split a ponytail in 2 pieces and wrapped the first around and pinned it in. The second piece was left hanging down at this point. Then the second piece was then wrapped around the first. You could go in 2 directions, or wrap both in the same direction. The bun could be braided or just coiled strands. It makes a big, beautiful bun.
I knew a woman with incredibly thick, curly, very dark hair as long as yours who often wore the front half in a single braid -- when it got hot she would coil that part into a bun, then make a loose bun with the bottom half also. It looked more planned out than it sounds, it was very pretty. Might work well with your layers and curls.
Good luck!

I also have trouble with buns now that my hair is reaching mid back. My new favorite style is a Gibson tuck. It was tricky at first, but with a little practice I can now do it fast. I find it very comfortable as well. My hair was getting too heavy for buns and gave me headaches. If I want to wear a bun, the only style I can tolerate is a sock bun. You can find excellent instructions for both styles on youtube

Go to the articles section and do the Rose Bun for iii hair. It is great. I have really thick hair too, about your lenghth. It look nice, is easy to do and holds like a rock.

This thread is full of useful tips, so maybe you'll be able to find some more styles there.
I also recommend this tutorial. I have had quite a bit of success with both the rose bun and normal braided bun after reading it.
I also agree that you should go check out Torrin Paige's YouTube channel. She has a lot of very cute hairstyles and her instructions are very easy to understand. I can't begin to tell you how much her videos have helped me out.
Oh, and half-up styles will become your friend (if you like them, of course). You can do a half-up bun of your choice and then either bun or braid the rest of your hair. There are a lot of possibilities there.
Hope that helps!
