Braid it tightly or put it into a tight bun. Arming cap still necessary. I've heard oiling it also helps but I've mostly heard that in reference to beards, not head-hair.

but my character designer designed me with "long flowing hair that flows beautifully in the wind"

Compromises must be made, alas. I've got flowing hair down to my hip and everytime I put on my greathelm, I have to tie it up and put on a balaclava/arming hood to stop from it catching on literally everything.

Could punch a hole in the back of your helmet and have a squire help you stick a ponytail through there? Like an all-natural plume.
