Good luck, MOB. Glad you are still riding.
I have been too chicken to do a buzz, but my hair is pretty short/pixie-ish. I had the mistaken idea 2 years ago to grow it. After straightening, flat ironing and 2 frustrating cycling seasons with it making me feel horrible, I am back to normal. All it takes is a spritz from my bottle to style my hair when the helmet comes off.
