Try Pipi Longstocking type braids instead of a pony tail... no more tangles!

^^ this. or even a single braid.

you can also get hair wraps to go 'round a ponytail - they'll either have snaps or skatehooks and a lace (the former is easy to put in, the latter is not). most often made of leather, because they're common among motorcyclists (which is how i know about them), hair glove brand does make some in neoprene: https://hairglove.com/catalog/8

a really good conditioner and doing what you can to prevent split ends will help, too.

cheers!

I have tried that and it doesn't work for me for running long distance, ended up with rub burn on my neck, oww.

this company makes neoprene hair gloves that fasten with velcro, in some bright designs:

Don't know if your hair is wavy or curly or you wear it straight. I wear mine in a single ponytail....I don't do a single braid because it feels like a rope slapping me in the back and neck, and I don't love the two braids too much (have to hide the grey roots sometimes). But my hair wants to get in one big dreadlock if I do a long run or ride... in the heat and humidity, especially. What works for me is to actually fix my hair before I train...product (Biosilk), flatirion, etc....getting it nice and smooth. That seems to make it more resistant to the dreadlock, matted, uncombable look. Sounds like a pain in the butt, but better to spend the time ahead of time, than to look like a hot mess at the end.

Kerastase Oleorelax serum before you run.

Not sure about alcohol in it though. It does work nicely.

Undercut. I have a 2" undercut and have for ~10+yrs. Solves all those problems. Seriously.
