I cannot even wear a ponytail at all. The whole thing gets tangled. I tend to braid when my hair is wet, and sometimes re-do the braid later in the afternoon.
When I really don't want to deal with it, I will use hair gel when wet and put a couple french braids in. This sometimes lasts a couple days for me.
My daughter is 3 and has very thick hair with a wave to it. Her's also frizzes like no tomorrow and I have NO IDEA what to do with it. I will often put a couple french braids in when wet. For her, this will last four days and I don't have to worry about tangles or frizz.
Whoa you ARE lucky sarah! I wish I never got tangles!
Miri, maybe putting it up wet is the problem. It may help if you
wait until its dry to put it in a ponytail. You may be damaging
the hair when its in its weakest state (wet) with the ponytail
holder.
My hair gets tangles in it when its in a ponytail, but usually in the
length, just like when its down it gets all knotty from my moving my
head around all day.

Wow Sarah! I agree with Susan! You are so lucky not to get tangles! I wouldn't have a problem growing my hair to my ankles if I didn't get tangles. That's a major reason I always consider getting it cut. I've found some good conditioners and good combs that have been a huge help though.
Yeah...... I've heard that most curlies have a huge problem with tangles and matting. I never have my entire life. I mean, it does tangle, but not majorly or easily. Even after being out on a windy day, it's not that bad. But I usually "rinse" the tangles out in the shower just to avoid breakage. I can usually run my fingers through it at any given time without any problem. I think it's because my hair tends to be a bit on the coarse side.

I bet that's what it is, I could see from a physics perspective why
thicker individual hairs would tangle less (wish I had coarser
hairs!). I could never rinse my tangles out, if I try to wash
without detangling first, I just get far worse tangles and mats.

I get tangles too . My tangles are noticeable . I get so embarrass when my boyfriend tries to play with my hair. I always carry a comb in my purse so that i can untangle them .
