Dforce Ponytail?!

I'm a little amazed at the serious lack of Dforce ponytails. There's tons of fancy look-book or glamor hairstyles but not a single "girl next door" ponytail for Dforce. Is this a DAZ mandate, a lack of interest? Surely a nice, simple dforce ponytail would sell like hotcakes! What does everyone think?

The issue is, I suspect, in major part practical - dForce hair is dynamic, so the tie needs to move with it but must constrain all of the hairs (and keep them, and the interpolated hairs, within itself).

I personally haven't had a need for a dforce ponytail in any of my projects. but this is in my wishlist for when I do

I created myself a dForce ponytail using a dForce Long Hair :)

You just have to play with the timeline, a torus and create morphs from different simulations to be able to continue it :)

Nice, I knew of the dforce trick but I'm also incredulously lazy. Looks like I'll be doing that then! Thanks kervala. Edit: just checked your tut and it's a lot more involved than my process but seems to yield way cleaner results. I'll give it a shot later today.
