helmet itch

[newtothegame]

i got some serious helmet itch, any suggestions?

[airbrush]

....scratch it :lol:

[juggernaught]

That's funny New...i get the same thing from time to time right after i put on my helm.  Not dirty from what i can see.  But i think Air's suggestion is a good one.  

[airbrush]

trust me....it works like a charm..haha

Is it an old helmet? If it is then it's probably the built up sweat irritating your head. I don't know if you can clean the liner but google it and see. If it's a new helmet you could either a)be sweating a lot (try a bandana or light balaclava) b) you might be allergic to the material in the helmet...Those are my guesses but the best solution so far is scratch it

Ignore it and it'll go away.

the shorter the hair the better i found   :dunno:

dandruf?  try cleaning the helmet liner

[treybrad]

I always wear a bandana... helps a LOT with the itchy and a little with the helmet hair.

you could line your helmet with sandpaper.

[Gisser]

Denorex shampoo.  Well, I don't know if this will help your problem, but the stuff sure feels good after an all day ride.

An over-the-counter medication you should definitely try is Scalpicin.   This is applied directly to the area that itches.

Hope this helps.

i like the sandpaper suggestion personally.

[TheGoodGuy]

apparenlty stuff like helmet fresh will help with it.

I hate the helmet itch..

the more and more this thread progresses i cant help but think it was a joke in the first place  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[Dima26]

Yeah, I have it too. Did you guys try to wash your hair? I tried. Does not help. After a few weeks it comes back again    

Just joking

Try to wash your liner with mild soap solution, it should help. I have never had it but my helmet is new.

[newtothegame]

maybe i should just shave it all off and then there's nothing that can cause an itch!

[Blueknyt]

yeah, i shaved too, i had a nice long ponytail that when wet was 3/4 down my back, but balding up top, go figure!

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:    COOTIES! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Wow - that sounds like Chow Yun Fat in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Think Gallaheger, instead.  Where he isn't balding, but rather, the hair is just kind of sliding backwards.
