Those of you with long hair, who wear an arming cap: WHAT DO?!

My new helm as an aventail, and have tried braiding and doing a ponytail and all sorts of things to keep my hair contained. While the cap obviously protects the top of my head - I’m still getting snagged all to hell. I can’t mound my hair, because then my helm won’t sit properly.

I’m thinking of making a cap that is a little bit longer in the back (and maybe ties differently to keep everything contained). But before I do that, I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions of things that have worked for them.

14th Century Armour Shaping/Fitting

All of these are by the armourer Augusto Boer Bront.

I cannot find the original place where these were posted, but they recently popped up in the United League of Armourers group.
