Helmet Head

#1 Unread post by andy3271 »

i have decided i am going to get a new hair cut. at the moment its pretty long but the problem with it is, when i put my helmet on it just messes up my hair and in the end looks a bit of a mess. so i thought i will probably just shave it all off then people start going how i should get it styled but then id be back to the problem that it would get messed up. what do you guys do about ure hair?

I try to keep it short if I'm going on a longer trip. When it's long I rock the helmet hair because it looks awesome and you get funny looks. :laughing:

Reached the point a couple of years ago where anything longer than an inch looked like I was trying to do a comb-over..... :oops: That's the dumbest look in the world, so I just started getting mine cut real short. Works great for the helmet!

I have long hair too (the pony tail only reaches inbetween my shoulder blades at the moment), and don't want to cut my hair, and yet I know that wind is going to ruin my hair completely. Would putting a few more hair ties on it help keep it stable and safe?
