   OUCH! I've a similar long ponytail. I always tuck it under my shirt   
   when doing this kind of work. Best to tuck between shirt and sweatshirt   
   but not really an option when it's HOT out. It stays put there pretty   
   well too.   
      
   Creepers always look and sound like a great way to work under vehicles.   
   But the wheels are always bumping into your tools, parts... getting   
   stuck in cracks in the cement and then you loose 2-4 inches of space to   
   maneuver in. Cardboard seems the best solution for me😆️
