250rStar · August 28th, 2010, 02:50 PM

OK so my girlfriend just started riding 2up on the ninja and she wanted me to ask if there is anyway she can make it so that her hair doesnt fly all over the place and if there is a way she can make it so that it doesn't get all tangled up too...... if it sounds like i'm stupid its cuz my hair is extra short and hers it long like down to the middle of her back.. ya anyways thanks ladies

Ponytail and stuff it in the jacket, or put it in a braid.

have her wear a helmet with a low ponytail underneath??....

without a helmet ponytail works but if she has any sort of bangs they will still be blown around....i suggest a whole lot of bobby pins

I usually do a loose bun then put my helmet on to keep my hair in the helmet. My hair isn't long enough to do a pony tail that will stay in the jacket.

Shave her head, and everything else.

loose braid directly down the back under the jacket. or wrapped around the neck for warmth.

I pile mine on top of my head with an under armor skull cap and then put my helmet on

That's what I do too. Ponytail stuffed under the jacket

I just stuff my hair into my helmet. I have shoulder-length hair.

250rStar · August 28th, 2010, 07:23 PM

I'm not a girl but when I had my hair long I just either tied it up in the back and dropped it in the back of my jacket like others said or wear a du rag and then put my helmet on

just checking... she does wear a helmet, right?

I tie my hair down/back in a pony tail and use a hair glove (Hair gloves from Hawaii). I usually use a couple extra hair ties for the lower part of my tail which is not snuggled in the hair glove. There are different types and they come in a variety of designs so they can match your wardrobe or gear.

ally99 · August 29th, 2010, 08:00 AM

Pigtails work well too if she has layers that tend to fly around with just a ponytail.

LOL.

I like how you added the "and everything else" part.

Helps with reducing air drag. Tell her it's all about aerodynamics baby!

Blackwidow · August 30th, 2010, 08:46 AM

i have long hair....i've noticed that if you just put it in a pony tail the part where its not tied starts getting tangled up cuz of the wind. and if you wear your jacket over it, it can become uncomfortable...especially if its freakishly hot! So I tie it a low ponytail, then I use about 4 rubberbands to wrap around my hair all the way down to the tip. So I have one rubberband around the scalp, then another a little ways down, and another about an inch lower until all my hair is tied. If any of that makes sense.

Never thought of that! I might try it myself

KJohnson21 · August 30th, 2010, 01:13 PM

My hair used to go past the middle of my back. I did a pony tail tied at the neck level, and another tie at midway. That controlled the tangles reasonably well and seemed to be a good balance between fussing with it beforehand and brushing it out afterward.
