Women motorcyclists - riding to work

[Lissa]

haha.. not teasing, I'm stalking.... its stalk Toaster day today. Im allowed to in the biker angles thread!

On a serious note:

B/ If I do end up riding with hair out, of all the hair products what works for me to bring life back onto my hair ends is Schwarzkopf leave in treatment.
run it through the ends of your hair. it smooths and strengthens dry split
hair and I think you can conveniently buy it in supermarkets. I get to
work and put some of that throught it.

Ive never used Leave-In Treatment before, but have seen them. Its doesnt make your hair greasy in anyway?

Do you girls get problems wearing neck warmers... I wear them mostly so my hair can go under them, but I tend to get a itchy neck afterwards.

[The Stranger:Me]

As a newbie I am just at the beginning of the experiences of bad hair I am probably in denial and it may be a silly question but! .......... is there a product you can put in your hair and give is some life again??????? without having to run to a hair dryer and start all over again.

I think Cameron Diaz had the answer in "There's something about mary"

No. I have sensitive skin. I find the Buff's are really good with no seams in them. I have a summer one but I use it in winter & add a fleece neck warmer over top for the real cold stuff.

Thanks Katwyn I must remember to try that leave in treatment for when the plait unravels from the top down except for the last tie- what a mess that makes but it will teach me for doing a bit more than the limit in strong NW winds on an naked bike with my plait out.

I find Plaiting my hair when wet works for me, when I get to the pub etc I can un-plait it & it looks tidy with a wavy look.

I love that feel. or if you put your hair up in a clip when its still damp. wear it
for a few hours and when you take the clip off you get that healthy wavey
just washed look/feel.

For that little end bit.....I smear a whole lot of that conditioner on the end of
the pny tail / plait so the ends are protected (as best they can be - exposed to the elements and all)

Not the stuff I use. But then I kinda like the "clean" greasy look sometimes
(or is that an oxymoron!)

Cheers, I use the same brand, just not the lve in treatment.

I've been experimenting recently and I've tried two leave-in conditioners.

1) Sunsilk leave-in conditioning mist
Unfortunately this was rubbish! It didn't help keep the tangles out at all. All it did was really saturate my hair (I think because of the type of spray bottle) and I had to re-dry it otherwise the inside of my helmet got wet and I had a cold wet patch on the back of my T-shirt .

2) Schwarzkopf leave-in conditioner
I've found this works much better and helps keep my hair from getting tangled. I haven't used it much but early results look promising

My hair is long so I just put it in one (or more) hair ties and tuck it inside my jacket.

I admire girls who can plait their own hair - I just don't seem to have the co-ordination!

I would love to master the art of doing my own french plait. A friend of mine
tried to teach me years ago....but I don't think I had the time, patience and coordination to master it

It helps if you can practice on someone else (or had to plait many a horse tail).
