I've seen double absorbent hair towels at places like Taget and Wallmart, but never got them cause it's never been that big an issue with me, but that could help with the cold, wet hair thing. As for day to day, when mine bugs me I just literally tie it in a knot at the nape of my neck. Mine is kind of curly so it has enough texture to stay that way for an hour or so 'till it falls apart. But I think it is kind of a fun, 'I have better things to do than do my hair' up-do. Don't know if it would work on super smooth hair. Putting it up in a bun with a pretty hair stick (or even a pencil) also works for that. Just do a loose-ish bun, bring the tail around tight underneath so it is against the head in the middle of the bun, and poke a stick through from the top of one side, under the tail in the middle , and up through the other side so the end is pinned in place. Play with angles, how much hair hangs down, size and tightness of the bun etc. to get some different pretty effects. Get cheap fun chopsticks at Asian markets for this, can use the two at different angles. I'm also a big fan of these little dohickeys that cover a bun and hold it in place. I have a really pretty hand-made wire one so you can see the hair through it. They are usually cup or oval shaped, with a hole on each side and a stick that goes through. The oval ones can go over ponytails too, not just full buns. And I'm a big fan of the french braid. Super fine with lots of sections when I have the patience, or just start about half way down and just a couple more sections on each side when I'm in a hurry, still looks a lot better to me than a simple braid. Have fun! I love having long hair!
