I have long thick hair and whenever I put it in a pony tail everything looks good accept the part under my ponytail. There's always a big lump there. I try brushing it up tight and I try clipping it up, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have a suggestion for me?
The skin at the bottom of your head must have some 'give' in order for you to move your head from side-to-side and up-and-down. This is what causes that "bump" of hair; it is perfectly normal. Everyone that wears a ponytail has it. The growth pattern of one's hair might make someone's a bit more pronounced than another's. It is a waste if energy to worry about something you can do nothing about. I'm sure it bothers you, but no one else will notice it.

I too have long, thick hair, when I put mine into a pony tail I bend over at the waist, brush my hair into a pony tail holding it into my other hand; then put in the band around it (with the other hand) that will be holding it in place. Good luck!

You could try making a ponytail with your hair flipped upside down - usually this makes it better, and adds more volume. Also try tying the band more tightly, so that the hair on the underside, doesn't slip out, from the loose band. Hope this helps.

I have long hair and a part on top of my my head that separates the hair, it won't go away. I want to be able to put my hair into a perfect ponytail, but my part line never goes away.
