It's getting chilly and windy. I love riding my bike to work but the wind in my ears is just killing me. I thought about getting one of those thing hats underneath my helmet but I'm afraid it will give me massive helmet hair
What do you all do to keep the wind out of your ears?

Headband. I actually wear them all year round because I hate having cold ears. Like these:

I hear ya.... My ears are my weak spot. I use these ear warmers and they work very well. You pull the two ear pads apart to the right length for your head and clamp them on. They work perfectly with a bike helmet.

I have a Sugoi head band that works great but when I forget it, I stuff kleenex in my ears. It embarrasses my husband but I don't care.

I use a lululemon running cap right now. It doesn't give me hat hair either, but my bike ride is only 20 mins long

I have a beanie and an ear band.
I prefer the beanie, which is not as warm but blocks less of the incoming sounds, but sometimes it's in the wash. The ear band really muffles sounds, which annoys me.
