The flat profile comfortably accommodates your helmet, while the secure pins prevent mid-run adjustments.
This style is perfect for transitioning directly to après-ski gatherings.
6: Dutch Braided Ponytail
Elevate the standard ponytail with an inverted Dutch braid running from your forehead to nape.
This technique creates a flat profile along your crown—exactly where helmet pressure concentrates—while securing the ponytail low enough to accommodate your neck gaiter or high-collar jacket without uncomfortable rubbing.
7: Twisted Crown With Nape Bun
Create a sophisticated slope style by twisting two-inch sections from each temple toward the back, securing with small pins, then gathering remaining hair into a compact nape bun.
This technique eliminates uncomfortable bumps under your helmet while preventing the dreaded “hair bump” that often forms at your crown.
8: Double French Braid Wrap
Transform your boarding hair routine with dual French braids that start at your temples and wrap around to meet at your nape.
This advanced technique creates a perfectly flat profile under your helmet while distributing hair weight evenly to prevent tension headaches during all-day mountain sessions.
9: Sleek Center-Part Low Ponytail
Sometimes simplicity offers superior functionality. Create a clean center part, apply
anti-frizz serum, and secure hair into a smooth, low ponytail positioned precisely at your nape.
This minimalist approach prevents pressure points while minimizing tangles that typically form during active boarding sessions.
10: Side-Swept Braid Tuck
Perfect for longer hair, this asymmetrical style features a deep side part with a French braid starting at your temple and wrapping around to your opposite nape.
Tuck any remaining length under and secure with flat pins.
This technique creates balanced weight distribution while preventing uncomfortable helmet shifting.
11: Butterfly Clip Half-Up
Revolutionize your slope style with flat butterfly clips positioned strategically at the back of your crown. Gather the upper sections into these clips, leaving the lower hair loose.
These specialized clips create minimal bulk while securing hair without the uncomfortable pressure points often caused by elastics or bulky accessories.
12: Twisted Rope Braid Ponytail
Elevate your boarding style with this technique that prevents painful tangling.
