    Welcome to my world. I was just talking about how much my hair was bothering me this morning. I did pull all the top part (this is the part that bugs me the most!) back with a barrette (and it fit under the helmet) and the rest of it I pushed behind my ears.

    After riding my cheek bones were burning from the heat and the sweat so hopefully a buff would help that too?

    I have a Trek 7.3fx wsd instead of the men's 7.2fx, but that's it. I slowed down a LOT. I'm even selling my mixte because I don't ride it.

    Still have all of your mixtes? And is your husband riding too?

    or you could do whhat I did several years ago. I got my hair cut in a #4 buzz, not quite Marine short, but definitely a buzz. No problem with helmet hair or what to do with my hair after a ride.... pour a bottle of clean water over it or stick my head in a bucket and dry it and I'm good to go. I do use a strip of a buff for a head band though, just to keep the sweat out my eyes. Does anyone else sweat inside their ears. I swear I have shorted out so many ear buds that I should go into their manufacture. I love buffs in any size, shape or form though.

    I cut my hair, too. Not a buzz, but, a la Jaime Lee Curtis. Spiky on top. I just take some water from my bottle and pour it on my head, so I look presentable at a lunch stop.
    I have horrible, frizzy, bendy, unmanageable hair. I dealt with it for years by getting it permed. Then I cut it short. Two years ago, I decided to grow it to a bob. After straightening and flat ironing, I decided it actually made me look older and I looked like a monster after any sweating.
    I am so much happier back with the short.
