How do you women with longer hair protect it from getting chewed up by your helmet?
I have always had long hair but over the last few years, my helmets (dirt, street, snow & MTB) have broken it off so bad it looks like it's layered and not by a professional.
I finally chopped it all off above my shoulders and I don't like it!!! I can't tie it up in a ponytail and it bugs me when it gets in my face.
I have tried french braids, regular braids, ponytails etc. but with all of the different methods of tying it back it ends up squashed down into a tight little braid within a few hours of riding!!
I have also noticed that the foam insert in my helmet grabs the hair & pulls it out so that doesn't help either. Rubbing between the helmet and my coat collar & chest protector doesn't help either so I need to tie it back (well as soon as it grows out more!).
Is there anything out there that I could line the inside of the helmet with and tie my hair back?
I want to grow it out again but if I can't stop it from breaking off then I'm going with the Susan Powter look!!! (hey, then I would look like pinball!!!!) :laugh:
