When you have gollywog mop like mine, anything is an improvement!

Is this what everyone's talking about?

Oh god no, I don't have that at all!! I have to plait it so that it doesn't end up as a mangled mess.
The one time I had straightened my hair it actually stayed in place and looked nice, but every other time it looks horrible and frizzy!! Hence the plait!

My helmet used to do awesome things for my hair when it was shorter!
I never needed hair gel or anything, I got the sweepy spiky thing every morning :P

Not so good now that it had grown out a bit though

(right betwwen the short and spiky and long and flickable stages at the moment

)

Enjoy it! I have the opposite of you, thin, fine hair. I start the day lookin hot only to find after wearing my helmet for ohh say... a nano second I look like my cat after he's fallin in the pool

I have curly hair (which I love) but the helmet flattens it something wicked. Given up bothering about it now but do shower at work verus home so it is its normal self at work.

What I do want to ask is has anyone else been hassled about wearing a scarf / buff under your helmet. I do it to keep the hair out of my face but got a comment from the hubby about "when did you become a harley chick" (I am a sports biker by the way, and nothing against harley chicks).

Did anyone else get any grief?

Anyone else find they have BETTER hair after it has been in your helmet for a while??

I find it depends on how long I wear my helmet for. I have curly hair thats just above my shoulders and if I wear it for a long time it gets all straight and yuck but if I wear it for about 20 min it turns out quite nice

I have a very short, shaped bob, between ear-lobe and jaw length, and quite thick. Somehow the helmet turns it under nicely without making it totally flat and weird on top.

Yeah I know, girly girly girly.....

Being a guy i shouldn't write in here - but its not my fault there is a mirror in our elevator at work - ON BOTH SIDES!! [which is where i am when i take my helmet off]

but yeh - it 'tames' it - i got long curly hair.........not long long, but long for a guy long. - gradually getting passed the mop stage

I have fine hair and not much of it, so I have it cut short and spike it up so that it does not look too bad when I take my helmet off. That is the theory, but as you can see by this photo, it does not always work!! It looks like I came straight from "Something About Mary"!!!
