What is up with my hair?!?

[OakLeaf]

Oh heck. I've got 18 or 20 some vents in my helmet and my hair sticks out of every one after a long day in the saddle.

I've only seen one rider that had hair, and did not have helmet head. He was a marvel - helmet came off, and his hair seemed to be perfectly in place.

The rest of us meer mortals always have some kind of helmet head - I figure with a bunch of other riders, no one will really notice.

You should have seen me after I took the helmet off. I normally put my hair in a pony tail and use clips on each side of my head to keep the shorter layers in order. But in the heat yesterday I took the clips out while I riding to keep things on my head from feeling too tight. After the helmet came off, I was all sweat-head, helmet-head, part-pony-tailed, part all over the place. It was good for a laugh when I got to the ladies room to change and clean up.

my husband always wears a hat or a buff under his helmet to prevent this from occuring.
Me? I just look stupid.

+1. My hair is ~2 inches long. No skull cap under the helmet means a most excellent mohawk in just a few miles.

For the record...it was NOT sticking up out of her helmet at the Eagle Harbor rest stop (where is that? Mile 45ish?) when DH and I saw her. She was looking quite stylin' with her sun sleeves (or whatever they're called), cuz...you know...I look for those sort of things. I'm shallow that way.
I used to have a pony tail that I would stick through my buff. Now, since I cut my hair off, it's too short to pony tail, and it just wads up into a big old wet mat under my buff now. Perhaps more HeadSweats are in store for me.

Me, too! Especially right after a haircut. Looks like I have a crimping iron made for giants!

My hair sometimes looks like that anyway.
Some days the helmet is a perfect excuse at work.
