What is a good product to revive my helmet hair?

Question

I ride a Vespa, which is loads of fun, but not so nice on my hair. Can anyone suggest a good product that will revive helmet hair?

Complete sentences appreciated.

Answer 1

Buy a Sliks. You put in on under your helmet, and it prevents the itchy sweaty helmet head. The girls that I sell helmets to ALWAYS buy one of them. You can get them from aftermarket shops, or anyone who is a Drag Specialties or Parts Unlimited Dealer

Answer 2

Well said, biker babe.
Some guys have long hair too. Being a guy, I never put a lot of stuff in my hair to begin with. No hairspray, gel, or what have you. A brush takes care of the tangles.
Aside from the testosterone thing, many people use multiple elastic ties in a pony tail to keep it together. Another alternative would be a braid. This works well when you are going someplace and won't have the opportunity to straighten up. Another would be a hair wrap, there are a few styles. They fasten with a built in barrette and keep a ponytail from getting tangled.

I had to cut mine short last summer, but it's coming back.
And I wear a helmet once in a while.

Great question Melicious, and it's one I've struggled with too. The only solution I found, was to grow out my hair and wear it in a pony-tail because at least you can brush it and put it up. I've had my hair super short too and used a type of molding gel but I didn't like the feel of it and it messed up my helmet. Otherwise, I wear a ball cap which is not really useful if you are going to work......I didn't really appreciate all the flippant and juvenile comments from the guys. This is a motorcycle site and it's not just for the testosterone club members. Many women ride and they have questions that you may not identify with but at least keep your traps shut if you have nothing to say....Thanks for the support Firecracker - and thanks for the tip Smartass...

Answer 4

ignore it. something you position into your hair will move itself into and through the liner. once you're prepared to eliminate and clean your linings each couple of days (or have some helmets to placed on one even as the different is being wiped clean), then you definately have were given some luck. besides the undeniable fact that, hair products - to my understand-how - are literally not examined for compatibility with helmet wonder-absorbency elements (higher polystyrene) and hence there is not any affirming in case your hair products will damage it or no longer. Even sweat degrades the crash protection of a helmet' therefore they prefer to get replaced each 3~5yrs.

Answer 5

Stop riding the vespa and ask a more serious question next time instead of wasting our time reading this dumb question.

Answer 6

You will probably notice that middle-aged bikers have substantial baldness. This is no coincidence; the helmet kills hair cells.

Answer 7

Get a Britney Spears haircut. Problem solved.

Answer 8

Answer 9
