Hair looks bad in ponytail

My whole life I have had these annoying baby hairs that stick out whenever I put my hair in a ponytail and now that I’m 23 I feel like I wanna do something about it (I also have subtle side burns). My hair is really thick and dark so I think that also plays into the visibility of the baby hairs. Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of these/making them less noticeable and annoying? Sweeping them behind my ears doesn’t help, they just pop back out seconds later! Thanks!
