Helmets and hair Issues
Helmets can worsen hair problems like itchy scalp, dandruff, and bad odor. It can also cause traction alopecia, where hair roots break due to pressure from the helmet. To maintain hair and hygiene, clean the helmet by removing it before washing.
Tied Hairstyles
– Short Haircut: Wearing a short haircut prevents hair from getting flattened under the weight and friction of the helmet.
– Low Ponytail: Gather long locks into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic. Tuck the bun under the helmet’s back ridge or tighten the cinch system for added security.
– Braids: Try side dutch braids or Katniss Everdeen style braids. Note that braids may tangle under helmet pressure.
Hair Wax
hair wax is an adhesive hair product used to style and enhance different hair types. It provides lasting effects, texture, and control without leaving a greasy residue. Keep hair wax handy to restyle hair after removing the helmet.
