I just purchased HY Ponytail Low-Bun Hair for G8F and love it: https://www.daz3d.com/hy-ponytail-lowbun-hair-for-genesis-3-and-8-females It looks great and is light on the system.

Now if HerYun can make high-bun ponytail hair, the kind standard with ballerina, cheerleader and now also popular with many female atheletes.

Hi there, ballerinas actually wear tight low buns just like HY‘s in practice and often on stage, anything else would be impractical. The hair-do for dancers is supposed to keep your hair out of your eyes during turns and prevent it from becoming tangled with anything, so the bun is usually coiled as tightly as possible, secured with dozens of pins and spray and put way down low, where it is most secure. For a ballet scene, HY‘s bun is just about perfect in my opinion (having spent quite a few years at the dance studio myself). I don‘t know about cheerleaders though.

For something higher, you might want to check out the Mega Updo hair or Zola or Topmodel hairs.

I've seen those hairs but I am looking for something much tighter like HY's low bun version.  As pretty as those hairs you mentioned are they all have way too mcuh volume for that very tight look as seen on ballerina, cheerleader and many female atheletes.  I've tried adjusting volume on OOT Updo to make it very tight and it does not look good at all.  I think for this kind of vert tight very taperd hair to look good it needs a dedicated product.

HY's low bun is very versatile and I love it.  But like you said ballerinas do wear the bun higher on stage, the hairline is pulled back way higher and tighter than HY's low bun.  The low bun is easier to manage, probably more comfortable but to get tighter hair you need to pull the hair back higher.  I see low-bun for practice and high-bun for stage.  Female ahteles also pull them back much higher than HY's low bun to make it very tight during competition.  Some cheerleader version are even higher for that ponytail look..

This is the ballerina hair I am looking for.  To pull the hair back so tight the bun needs to be higher.

Lots of female atheletes also have very tight high bun when competing.  Below is a good example of transitioning a character from HY low-bun style hair to the HY high-bun I am proposing.

I think cheerleaders wear a ponytail instead of the bun, with or without bow/ribbon, but also very tighly pulled back so the ponytail is higher.  The ponytail in high-bun would likely be longer and larger than what's in the HY Low-Bun product.

OOT makes beautiful updo and ponytail hairs but none are designed to be pulled back so tight and won't look good dialing the volume or hairline dials back so much.  Also OOT hair is very heavy on machine.  It's similar concept as HY Low-Bun.  A very, very tight pulled back hair that can be used with a high bun or high ponytail.  Preferably with some smart bow/ribbon prop.  If HY Low-Bun is any indication HY can make one that looks good while using fewer GPU resources.

Ah I see, you‘re mainly looking for a bun hair without the parting! In real life, that doesn‘t depend on the height of the bun at all actually; I wear a very low bun as may every day hair-do with no parting. In DAZlandia, you could use the base hair from the mega up-do pack suggested above, which has no parting, and then put the bun from the HY hair in it and move it upwards. There‘s also a really nice different sort of bun in the Cecilia Lau pack I believe which should be ‚stealable‘. Maybe that will do? It‘s also really small, but it‘s plaited.

Both Mega up-do and Cecilia hairs are nice but neither work for what I am looking for.  Mega up-do style is close but the hiar just has too much volume and does not look very good dialing the volume way down, nor does it have the right hairline look.  Cecila hair is very tight and tapered but I am not sure that kind of intricate parting is something ballerina or female atheletes would wear during performance or competition.
