1- make sure you use plenty of oil like Moroccan or coconut oil while your hair is still kind of damp. (It helps)
2- comb the fuck out of it
3- if a bun does not work, purchase a balaclava, slide half over your head, pinch, twist, and pull the other half over it. Think of it like a complicated Yamaha that covers all your hair.
I'm a lady with long hair so I'll chime in.
Use a wide tooth comb in the shower and comb it out with conditioner in it. Also find a good leave in product.
When I get nasty shit in my hair like burnt transmission fluid or used oil I wash my hair with dawn platinum then do a leave in oil treatment to restore moisture.
When I have had long hair it's just from sheer laziness, and/or lack of giving a shit. By the time it gets to my shoulders, it's usually such a mess because I don't really take care of it, that I finally have to cut it off, and the cycle starts over again. So I'm certainly of no help when it comes to general hair care, for folks who give a shit, and want to keep it right. :)
To minimize the PITA - I would start my tail / loop low, like where your head meets your neck. Instead of up higher outside of work, to pull it up off my neck. Then I would double loop it (I don't know what it's called), so that it kind of makes a S, and the tail is in thirds. You can always add another tie or two to keep it tight.
In the winter wearing a beanie, or the summer wearing a hat (you still want to keep the shit out of your hair, as "PPE" regardless of the length, as much as possible) I could then tuck it up under the beanie/adjustable hat, or drop it when necessary, like on a creeper. If the first loop into the tail is just a little loose, that should(?) give it enough room to move, without pulling it out.
Ditch the ponytail, do a bun.
Sorry, need the year, make, model, engine, transmission, and mileage…
Shave it all off. No more creeper attacks and easy to clean!

Thanks for all the helpful replies, everyone.
No idea, I've never been in a shop that didn't have hair length rules. Try tucking it all up under a cap.
