Mine's like that too - nach curly.No ponytail GWN, could never grow real Iong, too curly would tend to bush out. I have to force plants to do that but hair does it on it's own, Iol.
Mrs. GWN says if I brush the pony after it's dry it looks like a raccoon's tail.
And the headlamp just accents it - I use them all the time, hell I can't see without one for most of the crap I have to do.
