I add the fun of a 1 1/2" headband that I wear as well to cover up my ears, basically at all times. I can't have wind blowing in my ears, because I end up with painful ears and headaches and things like that. So, imagine the hair after it's all raised up under a big ol' headband and then squashed down under the helmet I shower and wash/dry my hair at work in the morning, but when I'm not riding to *work* - all bets are off...
