F'n helmet hair! Is there NO relief?

**Burtha** · 25th February 2009, 16:25

I have curly hair and look like a melon when I take off my helmet even after a short ride. I've just been down to the shops and do NOT feel like I have just stepped out of a salon ...

Purchase a hat?

Be proud of it, you earned it, so why not?
Just thumb your nose at the rest of the world as you walk by tossing your curly hair that has been individually styled by (insert helmet brand of choice here)

Keystone had a t-shirt that summed it up:

"Hair by Shoei"

...as for curly hair. Never had a problem myself

Curly hair is my all time favourite thing. Of course I got handed the straight as "get fucked if you want me to bend even a little bit" stuff.

Helmet hair is seriously in the eye of the beholder, ie YOU. We all (well us girls do anyway) suffer to some degree from it. Have yet to meet a bloke out riding that says......"Fuck your hair looks disgusting!"

Ignore it is my advice.

If you are really concerned about riding to work and arriving with HH just give yourself a few extra mins when you arive. Keep your hair contained while riding, either in a pony or wrap, brush it out and give it a "gee I look fab" tickle up, and hey presto, you are done.

PS: Product is your friend

Is that like GBF hair?

I get terrible helmet hair and it sucks. Doesn't matter how well dressed I am for work my mop ends up in a twist or ponytail which totally ruins the look

Just hanging out for disposable income again. I had my hair chemically straightened (relaxed) a few years ago - it was FUCKING BRILLIANT! Took nothing to look like I had just stepped out of a salon...no really NOTHING! It was white girl straight and glossy and gorgeously light and well dammit perfect. Naturally I have a wave and my hair is far too thick so hanging out the bottom of my helmet I arrive places looking like I have a birdsnest stuck to the back of my neck

Thank god for good strong elastics!

Then at least people will be jealous 'cause they think you're getting some and not even think you've got helmet hair

My hair is crap after the helmet but I have learned not to give a toss. I just evil eye the people back who are staring at me! Ya know, give em that hardened biker look....
