Do you find it very easy or not to neatly brush your hair and then tie up equally neatly in a ponytail ?

I find it hard. My hair always bunches up at the top and gets tangled. :(Do you find it very easy or not to neatly brush your hair and then tie up equally neatly in a ponytail ?
It's difficult with my thick hair.Do you find it very easy or not to neatly brush your hair and then tie up equally neatly in a ponytail ?
its easy, but it ends up looking unnatural. what i do now is flip my head upside down and then flip my hair back. while it is against my head with no part, i gather it into a ponytail, wayyyy easier than involving a comb
It's pretty hard but I have very thick hair.
