Guest scooter996 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I am in sales and would love to ride my VFR to work. Not that its a big problem but I would like to be able to take my helmet off and not have that crazy of hair style. I visit 10-12 facilities a day so its helmet on helmet off constantly. Does anyone make a liner that would help me to elimate the probelm? No shaving my head is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people swear that they work great. I duuno, I've tried a few similar products before but I still come out as a hair monster everytime I take off the helmet anyway! Best solution for most is a short haircut. Beck 95 VFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I solved the problem by getting a short hair cut. I like my new hairstyle now. It was roughly 10 years without a change and way overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jgroom Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I am also in sales and use my bike for sales call. The best way to keep your hair from getting too crazy is having a short haircut. I also wear a doo-rag which I tighten pretty tight, after straightening my hair as best as possible. That works pretty good and keeps me from getting strange helmet lines. My wife also bought this wax stuff for me. This is kind of cool because it stays pliable all day so you can make easy adjustments after taking off your helmet. Oh man, I just read my post, and I think I'm turning into a chick :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Check out the Silky helment liner - Whitehorse Press carries them: Silky at Whitehorse Press Works to contain your hair, but of course if you are sweating it is not going to wick the sweat away... :P I suffer from helment beard, too - I just carry a comb. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer oyama Posted April 19, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 19, 2006 I have about 3 inches less hair now. I love it. However, my helmet feels a ittle bit bigger now. :blink: I solved the problem by getting a short hair cut. I like my new hairstyle. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Bling Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I use one of those helmet liner thingamajigs. While they don't get rid of helmet hair, they do make helmet hair less severe. My hair is medium in length and without the liner I get hairs poking me in the forehead, very annoying. And another bonus of the liner is that it makes putting your helmet on a breeze since the material is nice and slick, unlike your hair and ears.

I use one of these as well, Silks Helmet Liner. Won't ever ride with out one again, Keeps the hair not so matted, and keeps the sweat off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Sounds like some nice womens pantyhose would do the trick! If you came to a sales call riding a motorcycle and wearing womens pantyhose on your head, I would buy whatever you told me to... just on principal alone!

Member Contributer Synaptic Misfire Posted April 19, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 19, 2006 I wear a coolmax do rag without the little fake ass tabs on it. Just looks like a big yarmulke, serves two purposes reduces helmet hair(not a problem since I run high and tight) and it keeps the helmet from funking to hell and back. Newenough for around $11.

Member Contributer cozye Posted April 19, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 19, 2006 my hair isn't thinning, I just got some clippers and cut that bad boy down to a #1 or so. Repeat every saturday. Not only will you not have any helmet head, but your head will stay a lot cooler under that helmet. And as has already been mentioned, the super short buzz cut is the "in" style now anyway. Grow a goat to go with it :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer ProMed Posted April 19, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 19, 2006 If you have shorter hair, try this stuff out out. As someone mentioned earlier it stays pliable all day so you can fix your hair back with your fingers when you remove the helmet. It doesn't make your hair "hard" and flake off like most gels. border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULEWZ Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I use hair gel, water, and a comb at work. The gel is applied at home, and the water and comb when I get to work. Otherwise, short hair, which by the way is fast going out of style if you look at what the kids are sporting. My 15 year old has long hair now. I have to fight with him to keep it out of his eyes!

Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I shave my head. I don't care if it's going out of style...it's just too easy! :salesman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzed_viffer Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 There's a hair product called "Shatter - Short Sexy Hair" (or is it "Sexy Short Hair"?). It was promoted by those "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" guys. My wife uses it to eliminate flat helmet hair. I don't have any hair, so I have absolutely no (ZERO!) sympathy for anyone who complains about messy hair, hair needing cutting, that sort of thing.

2003_VTEC_Rider Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I ride to work almost every day. Fortunately for me, once I am here I don't leave and come back. I don't do anything with my hair until I get to work, and then I style it. Though, I do use hair wax product, and that seems to keep it from getting to out of control.

Guest elwood_617 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I keep my hair at the #1 gaurd and use a silk helmet liner. The liner sort of prevents helmet head. Instead of wierd designs in your hair, you have a rather compressed look. At least that's what my Arai did to my hair, before I started shaving it off that is.

Guest Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I am also in sales and I do cut my hair short in the summer. A larger problem to me than my hair is riding gear. What kind of clothing do you have to wear for your sales job and do you put on and take off gear at every call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR4Lee Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I can't see myself with a buzz cut or shaved head. Helmet hair it is. :thumbsup: I've grown a beard a few times, even a goatee. But someone poisoned my mind long ago saying, A goatee is just a bumper guard on a high speed c***s***er. No goatee for me. Apologies to any goatee wearers. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
