All of us female riders frequently go through the struggles of helmet hair. Luckily, there are several fashionable, quick, and easy tips in preserving those healthy locks while still enjoying the full experience of the ride.
Bandannas and skull caps are the most simple fixes for unruly hair. Not only do these protect you from damage and 
unpleasant hair styles, but also can absorb a considerable amount of moisture inside your helmet. These more traditional accessories are relatively inexpensive, and can be found almost anywhere. Want to spice it up? Try sporting a bright color or funky design to compliment your bad self.
Some of us ladies throw our hair back in a ponytail, hop on, and go. Fortunately, you can take that boring elastic band and toss it in the trash. Hair wraps work just as well, if not better. Wraps come in several different shapes and sizes, and are just as easy to put in as they are to 
remove. A hair wrap keeps a larger portion of your hair in place, looks great, and comfortably fits outside the back of your helmet.
After a long day's ride, the last thing you want to do is worry about fixing your hair. Forget about it! A newer product called 85mphHats are biker fashion forward, look great in and out of your helmet, and you never have to take it off. These hats are designed to comfortably fit, while still creating a unique sense of style. Several benefits to 85mphHats include various colors and patterns, detachable and interchangeable style bands, side loops for your shades, washable material, adjustable Velcro, and are ponytail optional.
Instead of traditional bandannas and skull caps – sport a cool and comfortable Buff! For the ride, sport this flexible accessory to protect your hair from the wind 
and sun. The material is breathable, quick-drying, and specially designed for UV protection. Going out later? Switch to a Buff headband with all the same benefits as a full-sized Buff.
Pack a travel sized spritzer of detangler. Tangled knots not only look bad, but are terrible for the health of your hair and can be somewhat painful to comb out. Johnsons Kids No More Tangles spray-on detangler is cheap and effective. It is meant for kids and their unmanageable bed-head, so there is no reason not to use it on helmet hair. It smells fresh and clean, can be used for all hair types, and works on wet or dry hair. It's going to be the best 4 bucks you'll ever spend!
Use hair products that are sulfite-free. Harsh chemicals degrade the silkiness and shine, and could potentially encourage some gnarly helmet hair. C-system by Modern Organic Products (MOP) are sulfite-free and also offers UV protection. Both qualities are great in giving you damage prevention 
and healthier hair. MOP products can now be found at your local Bath and Body Works retailers.
To go along with your silky-smooth hair, try wearing a silk scarf under your helmet. The silk helps stop your hair from constantly rubbing around into a tangled puff. You can also style it (pre-ride) to vamp up your look for later. Try braiding your hair while it's wet so when you get to your destination you can let your hair down and use your scarf to add to the new 'do'. Undo those braids, and rock out!
If you have bangs, you can just forget it- right? Wrong. Bring another travel size spritzer of water and a small, rounded brush in those saddle bags. First, spray your bangs with a bit of water. Second, use the round brush to curl them. It's super simple, and can come in handy for any pit stop.
Use wide-toothed combs to detangle your hair. Try to stay away from brushing it with a regular brush. You could end up causing breakage and even end up pulling
chunks of your hair out. Ouch!
Schedule regular hair cuts every 6 weeks or so. This really helps remove split ends and any wear and tear from riding. You could even try a hair conditioning treatment at your local salon. It helps repair damage, and more importantly feels pretty awesome.
