    I have a short bob with bangs. It looks pretty bad (flat) after wearing a helmet but it works for me the rest of the time.

    After reading this post yesterday . . .

    I went and got 4 inches chopped off. I used to be able to walk around topless with just my hair to cover "the girls" up My beloved curls are in the drain. Now my hair just touches my shoulders. This will be much lighter and easier to care for. I won't have Princess Leah orbs to shove under a swim cap or bike helmet anymore.

    About 7 years ago my hair was about 3 inches from my waist. Step-daughter was getting married so I decided to get the ends (just the ends) trimmed.

    Stupid hairdresser cut over 12 inches off it I was so speechless and angry I just paid and walked out, went home and did something I don't normally do - wept buckets. I think I know how Samson must have felt

    At the wedding reception hubby and I were photographed dancing and I had my back to the camera. I was horrified at how awful my hair looked. I have wavy hair and it just looked a total mess. I got it cut really short not long after

    This time no hairdresser gets near my hair. Apart from dyeing it myself at home I'm leaving it "eau naturel" - and it's growing just fine
    There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home

    Why, thank you! It makes great swiss circling-the-top-of-your-head braids.

    I enjoy it all.

    I use to have waist lenght hair and loved it. I use to get those great spiral perms! I was very good at doing all kinds of braids. But as I have gotten older my hair has started to thin, alot! So now I wear it short. Which is easy to care for, and great for biking.

    Without all that long hair, I discovered I have all sorts of natural curl. When I'm not sporting helmet hair, and I actually make the effort, my hair can look pretty darn good. bikerhen

    My hair is between the shoulder blades, straight, thick and fine. I used to do pigtail braids (layered hair doesn't do one braid). My mom picked up a nifty little thing at the Harley shop called a hair glove (www.hairglove.com) and now I use that. She got a leather one since it was the Harley shop but I think I may order the neoprene. Works great but the leather is a bit stiff. I just had to chop off 3" of my hair because the sun/wind from cycling killed it. Now I deep condition and braid or wear the Hair Glove.
