Hee, you really pull that 'do off, Denise, but I don't think I have the facial structure. Your pic does remind me though of how my husband grew his hair out for our wedding...the honeymoon in Hawaii did some fascinating things by way of helmet hair! Unfortunately he learned his lesson and has never again let it get that long...so now he just gets what we call "Darth Maul" sunburn marks on his head!

I think helmet hair (in my case, wisps of hair cemented to my face by sweat) is a badge of honor. And anyway I tend to start and end rides at my house (making my ride partners meet me here if necessary!) so I don't end up wearing helmet hair in public very often.

The post-ride stench is another story entirely.

SnowMouse - if you want to color your hair without damaging it, consider henna. I've done mine twice now and it looks great, natural, and best of all it's healthier than before dying it! I like being a redhead every so often.

I'm tempted by those TE ponytail holders and headbands.

All - anyone see the movie Constantine? Gabriel's cute short blond curly style was part of what made me start thinking about hair again! I thought, "That's long enough in the front that you could stick it behind your ears and/or headband it under a helmet!" And I learned when I was 18 with a perm that curly hair still looks good when it's greasy and sweaty!

But I am really trying to keep chemicals out of my hair for now, so no perms for me (despite having them on and off since I was small!) Hubby liked it curly too. Ah, well.
