Long hair problems

**zeRax** · 15th July 2005, 20:30

dont really think about it on the bike, get some mean knots sometimes, but not always, sometimes the bulk of it sits in back of jacket and sometimes stays there...
what is most annoying is if ive washed my hair + conditioned that day, and then gone and tried to have subway or something, how fucking tedious is that D:!?!??! hair is too soft after a good wash and roams around

other than that, who cares

havent had a hair cut/trim, nothin since about 1st feb 2004

I have medium shoulder length hair and I know the problem. I usually just plat it and have it outisde my jacket as it gets too hot and annyoing to keep it tucked in.
Other alternative is to clip it up on top of your head using bobby pins so your neck is free at the back.

There is a good thing about having ''helmet hair'';
you can have a ''bad-hair-day'' and not a soul will notice! :LOL:

I got hair, I wash it, and if it get in my eye I tie it up. -Is there a problem?

There is a girl I take for rides who looks VERY hot with helmet hair.

Very very very wierd.
Don't know anybody else who can pull it off

My hair is quite long but not as long as Tony Mc's.What I have been doing for at least 15 yr's is using a pony tail with a hiar tie at the top and another at the bottom.I do put it in my jacket but it usually escapes.Sometime's I do get tangles in the last couple of inche's but nothing drastic unless the bottom tie comes off.

In the words of the prophet George Thoroughgood, "Get a haircut (and a real job)!"

Razor with aloe shave gel, smooth as babys bum, girls like touching it too...(no, I mean the top one...this time...). That'll fix the "problem"

I saw a guy (at least I think it was a guy!) a week or so back, on the motorway down Wellington way. Obviously his hair was tied and went down his back, under his jacket, with about 3inches flapping around at the bottom of his jacket. It gave me a bit of a chuckle really.

I myself have long hair and just go with the flow. Depends how I feel on the day. The only thing is, sometimes the hair tickles my chin - now thats annoying.
