Helmet vs. Hair

[reiobard]

My hair turns into a giant puff if i don;t keep it short...

I can't believe this, a poll for bikers and no "shaved head" option?

Add me to the smooth look list.

I feel left out too!!! my head has been shaved since March,2002.....That's when I saw the back of my head in a dressing room mirror :jawdrop: because it was thin it appeared a lot lighter color blonde...went home and shaved it clean!!! no Skunk imatating for me!!! :rof:

dont you worry about sun burn though :thumbup:

I have opted to let mine get longer, so I can do a pony tail, and not get helmet head. I think it may go shorter again in the winter when I don't ride. (yeah, I am a cold weather woos.)

Long hair keeps you warmer in the winter too! :thumbup:

My hair is longer and I either briad it or put it in a ponytail - I still get my own version of helmet hair though.

Very true! I may keep it long...it's easier to deal with when it's longer.
As for you shaved headed guys, I like that look!! :cheer:

You learn what the term SPF50 mean's real quick once you shave your head!! LOL

 

[ant_mb]

You forgot the option "I'm going bald therefor I have no hair!"

SPF50 ! Thats not sunscreen............thats house paint ,lol

 

[rickvan67]

Some of us don't get a choice,unless we want a comb over

I'm with ya there. I prefer the term folically challenged; its one of many gifts from my nearly bald father. I keep it buzzed short ALL the time, i figured I'm just going to grow bald gracefully (Bruce Willis is my hero).

 

[sideshow_downs]

I have to have short hair for my job so helmet hair is no worry for me.

I wish i could grow my hair out a bit. The buzz cut doesnt fit me too well.

 

[krushnuts]

Mine goes to about 1/2 way down my back, and it's straight... I wear it in a pony tail mainly. Makes for a bit of a birds nest after a long ride and a real pain in the arse to get the knots out! I found it quite amusing when a bus load of kids all hung out the window and yelled "hey lady biker, chuck a wheely for us?!"

But I've always had long hair, so it doesn't bother me. The last hair cut I had was about 7 years ago. That time I went for the 'crome dome' haha, kept it razor shaved for about a year, then I let it grow again.

My reasoning behind not cutting my hair? I actually think it's less maintenance, and less expense... Never have to cut it because it's geting too long lol I guess a chick with hair this long would want to take really good care of it, but me... Meh, it's tidy enough running a brush through it.

Helmet hair? I don't get helmet hair. Maybe because my hair is long, it's too heavy for the kinks from my helmet to stay in? :Flip:

 

[Stumbles06]

Short.. only way to go
I clip it to a #1 as soon as I get out of bed and it looks like I need to comb it.

Like Rob, if I let it go long, it's like a bloody puff-ball... Hate it.

:rockon:

 

[Disco]

Only way I know to keep my hair tidy is either the #2 or #3 all over every 4-5 weeks

 

[FZ6drummer]

i keep my hair pretty long, i just keep it covered with a thin skull cap. the helmet never messes with my hair as long as the cap is on.

50 doesn't help me, I use 100+!

You need a hat!!! LMAO... :rof:

 

[NJ GUS]

Yes, I actually look like my avatar. VERY low maintenance!

 

[Soap]

I don't have "Long" hair but it's alot longer than most around here because they all shave their heads haha but I'm not bothered what it looks like.

 

[grumpy1luvs2eat]

Don't have a hair problem, I shave it. GRUMPY
