It's not silly, I think. On the other hand, you need to let your stylist know the truth about how you manage your hair. I have finally found a stylist that does not assume I will be spending 15-30 minutes styling it every morning so it looks like what he did in the salon. He knows I ride my bike a lot and that the hair has to look decent when I take off my helmet and give it a quick brush up, and that I don't like having short strands that poke out of my helmet's vents. He's come up with a low-maintenance style that works for me. I'm very grateful for that.
