oh so shallow.. but what the heck to do you do with your hair?

Guess it depends mizzie how much you will get into commuting daily and how much cycling is part of your daily routine in general.

Some of us ..over the years from learning and cycling lots for a number of years..learn to have a shorter haircut.

I have found a haircut which looks ok after a ride and when I need to freshen up and change into something nicer. I have straight hair which requires a haircut that gives abit more shape and volume. Haircut is short enough that it leaves part of my lower earlobes visible and I have shaped hair layers all over. But right now, it's abit too long, that my bangs fall into my eyes. In the past..I actually used to bring in a curling iron.. But I haven't done this in the past 8 yrs. of cycling-commuting. Ah, what we do for vanity!

I gave up on shoulder length and longer hair when I turned 19. I'm 50 and it seems my hair cut style gets abit shorter every 5 yrs. or ao.. I do use a tiny bit of mousse when I blowdry hair after showering at home.

I actually have never showered at any workplace ..and I have cycled commuted regularily to work for past 15+ years. Depending on the employer and their location, my cycling ride have been approx. 12-16 kms. 1 way.

Yea, I'm wierd, but haven't worried about it.

N.B.: There are certain hair styles I would love to have and I know I might look abit better. But with cycling /helmet, it would be difficult to maintain to have the style looking continuously chic and sharp. But given the choice of a gorgeous hairstyle every day vs. a more fit body from regular cycling (and feeling healthier), I will choose the latter immediately first. To me, a very tiny sacrifice for long-term gains in terms of my health. A fit body will outshine any haircut...any time.
