Ladies, help hair problems!

[clairegriffo]

I have just passed my bike test and have my first bike and been riding pillion for a few months now I have really long hair and finding that my hairs an absolute tatty mess afterwards, even after platting it.

Can any ladies (or guys with long hair) recommend anything tips etc to keep it from looking like someones dragged me through a bush backwards, I am just trying to prevent any damage as well.

My boyfriend did send me a link to something that you can wrap around your head and tuck in at the bottom and have like a bun hanging out, but I would like to see what else I can do.

Exploring all options Smile.

I'd like some beard/helmet management tips while were at it.

Try putting a condom over your head you slag.

I'm no expert but I think plaits is generally accepted as the way to go.

Mrs Hans used to get her hair tangled when she was driving her Mini Moke, her solution was to get it cut short!

my daughter in law used to put hers in a pony tail then put her jacket on over her hair, then tip her head forward to pull her hair out a bit so you're not ripping your hair out every time you turn you head then put a scarf or snood on

Buff.

Plenty of male bikers with long hair too. All the ones I know, aldn Mrs stinkwheel put their hair in a pony tail then pull a buff over the top before putting their lid on.

I braid my beard then tuck it up under the chin strap.

Pics needed in order to get the best solution.

From the photo we'll be able to gauge the thickness of you hair, what will and wont work as well as what suits you best.

GF uses a combination of Balaclava + Hairbands and ties it in a bun or a plats it. If no hairbands, balaclava and tucking hair straight into leather jacket behind back, nothing around front otherwise it'll get in her face.

Also 100% of the time carries a Dainese leg-bag with a hairbrush + some kind of hair oil spray thing in it and is always brushing her hair as soon as the helmet comes off.

Hair is always less messy with a balaclava.

Use a neck warmer/tube and ensure the bottom of the neck warmer/tube is covered by the collar of your jacket.

As for the beard tips, can't help you there, I get nagged at by the missus when mines starts to grow well !

I remember hellkat saying she uses Aussie anti sheeps-arse (anti-frizz) spray. I have also seen said product in Mrs stinkwheels panniers before today.
