You could have it cut into long layers so that it will be lighter and less hair to deal with. Have the stylist cut the shortest layer long enough to put up into a pony tail. She can straighten it, part it, scrunch it or do it half up. I use a product by Garnier Fructis called leave in cream conditioner curl and shine. I just put it in while my hair is still wet and let it dry on its own and thats about all I do to it. I do have bangs because I have a big forehead and some days I wish I didn't have them (I've grown them out but, either it dosen't look good or; I am not used to it). I do have to style them always I wish I could wear them sort of swooped over my forehead and and pinned down but my BANGS are too short.

You did not say how old she was... long hair pulled back into a ponytail is ok for an older woman even if she is your daughter but for a young girl.. long hair.. pulled back.. ponytail.. without bangs or SOMETHING RESEMBLING BANGS is not really a KOOL style
If she does not want to change, there is really not much you can do.

I would suggest that you get her to trim 2-3 inches off initially, and perhaps have it thinned a little so her hair is less thick where the ponytail band is at. Not only will it take some of the weight off her head, is good for her hair, and makes it look neater, it will also help with breaking of the hair ties less because her ponytail will have less girth.
Sounds as if your daughter has her mind made up, so you will have to have her hair trimmed frequently. Be glad she keeps it in a pony tail instead of wildly unkept (I have a niece that did that forever....and it looked REALLY bad!). Eventually she may become a little more receptive, but for now you will have to satisfy yourself with getting her hair trimmed regularly. Once she gets used to the trims and how nice her head feels with a little less weight, she wont be so unreceptive to getting her hair cut later.
I think taking small steps with her in this case is really the way to go, so she has time to get used to having her hair a little shorter just from a simple trim.

i have really curly hair and up until a few years ago i would always tie it back. it wasn't until i was about 16 that i started wearing it out. there is no need to cut it short but just make sure that you put product in it and maybe add some layers so that the hair doesn't sit flat on top of the head. it's just a matter of time until she starts to wear it out. and if she still pulls it back try getting her to put her part on the side (not in the middle) it helps for the forehead thing

Let her make her own decisions about her hair. If you don't like how it looks, that's not fair. If she's happy with it let it be. She has to become comfortable with her own style, etc.
Maybe she can pull just the top part of her hair into a ponytail and have the rest hang down.

Show her pictures of celebrities in magazines. Maybe she'll like one and like to change her style. Tell her that she will look really pretty if she wears a headband (with bangs headbans look amazing). And tell her that if she doesn't like the bangs, they're hair, they will grow back, and in the mean time, the can wear bobby pins or clips with her ponytail if nothing else works...
Hope it helps, and good luck! =)

Let some portion of curly hair fall on the forehead. This way she will look better and her forehead will also not look bigger.

Try straightening it. It makes it thinner and silkier. Easy to be put in a ponytail too, or do other things with it, like pin it back, or put it up.
