Helmet hair

Yohan · August 16, 2003, 03:07:43 PM

How do you guys deal with the helmet hair problem? I'm not obsessed with my hairstyle, mind you, but it WILL be my Senior year and I'd hate to goto school everyday and have ape hair. How do ya'll deal with it? Would it be ok to gel the hair and then wear helmet or will it get all sticky and nasty?

</dumb question>

Not a dumb question. In order to feel good, you must look good. In my case looking good is looking like Colin Quinn.

Find a good Barber with younger folks cutting hair. Not at a salon, a Barber. Ask for it short on the sides and back (tell them a 3 and 3/4 blade and they'll know what you mean) with enough on the top that you can mess it up with gel. Keep the sideburns longer for that rebel biker touch.

After the shower, and your hair is towel dried, put a little gel in it and then push it forward from the back. Not plastered, just enough to control it.

Fool proof. Looks like a real haircut and never looks like helmet head.

It's either that or grow it long enough to do the greaser comb-it-straight-back look.

I do what banjo said. keep your hair short, but just long enough so you can still style it a little. I also carry a small tub of palmade in my tank bag. just get your hands wet, then put a little bit of that in your hair and the helmet head goes right away.

I bring a hat with me and wear it. Or if I have to go to work or something I have some gel there and fix it up there.

I don't ever use gel if my helmet is going on so it doesn't get all nasty.

You can just get there a little early and fix up your hair in the bathroom. For the ride home just throw on a bandana or doo rag or something.

Sometimes my hair actually looks better with helmet hair

:mrgreen:

i get mine cut down to a 2 on the sides and back. The top is a couple inches or a bit shorter. I usually tell the barber "2 fingers" for the top. They seem to understand lol
