Hair poll - How do you stay sexy AFTER you get off the Ninja.

Boywonder · July 14th, 2009, 08:20 PM

We all look sexy when we're zipping by on our Ninjas but how do you stay sexy when you're off the bike. Specifically, what do you do about your hair? Does your hair get all flat and messy after a ride? Any "styling" tips?

P1NDLESK1N · July 14th, 2009, 09:00 PM

I usually just keep it buzzed short. But if its starting to show that 3 row mohawk then a bandanna keeps it in check.

Nemy · July 14th, 2009, 09:01 PM

None of the above. Try L'oreal Out of Bed - good for my bedhead fauxhawk

backinthesaddleagain · July 14th, 2009, 09:16 PM

I have a car follow me with my barber, personal shopper, and a masseuse. the moment i step off the bike they tend to my fashion and comfort needs. During the 99.9% of the time that they can't keep up with my ninja i just kind of wet my hair and comb it with my fingers.

capt_bugaloo · July 14th, 2009, 09:19 PM

Buzzcut.

Cedilla · July 14th, 2009, 09:41 PM

I usually rock the messy, just got out of bed look, so when I get off the bike I just mess up my hair and im good to go, the only problem is when my hair gets long enough that it is poking out the back of my helmet when I take it off it is sticking out straight back and up from the wind, that is when it is time for a hair cut.

Postiez · July 14th, 2009, 09:42 PM

I got it cut kinda short to reduce helmet hair xD

SpyderGirl · July 14th, 2009, 10:25 PM

Usually a hat or I tie it back. Depends on where I'm going. Sometimes I don't bother.

richierich781 · July 14th, 2009, 10:45 PM

I usually have a buzz cut but have been growing my hair out. Now I just carry a baseball cap with me

I keep mine pretty short, if I can grab it, its time to spend some QT with the clippers again.

komohana · July 15th, 2009, 12:59 AM

i got me some long, thick hair. i'll usually knot the stuff hanging outside the helmet, and wear a skull cap or a bandana so as to prevent some wicked helmet head. i rarely ride without one or the other...failure is not an option!

BlueTyke · July 15th, 2009, 06:16 AM

My hair is long now so I braid it but I also wear a bandana, on the bike and off. I voted for hat though I don't wear 'em bandana's I suppose are close.

W/out braid

Just Braid (try and overlook the cute dog

)

tjkamper · July 15th, 2009, 06:55 AM

I just started using Rogaine and now my forhead is getting smaller

madcrossover · July 15th, 2009, 08:06 AM

When I go to work I normally carry my Hair Gel in my backpack. Outside of work I just deal with messy hair. Hair is short, but can still be messed up easily.

websniper · July 15th, 2009, 08:16 AM

I just pull my long hair back into a fresh ponytail and I'm GTG.

almost40 · July 15th, 2009, 08:26 AM

Im short fat bald and ugly so I dont care.

I just tape $100 bills to my shirt to look good.

BlueRaven · July 15th, 2009, 10:45 AM

I just wear a bandana and a ponytail so my hair doesn't get in my face when riding. I'm one of the lucky ones that never gets helmet hair. When i take my helmet and bandana off, i just run my hand in my hair and voila. I love my hair. In the morning i just give it a quick brush and i'm out the door.

KJohnson21 · July 15th, 2009, 12:22 PM

My hair is straight and usually shakes out with no problems. Sometimes I'll put a little bit of water on it and comb it.

Amusing which ads are showing.

Momaru · July 15th, 2009, 12:45 PM

I 've got long wavy/curly hair and have a fresh ponytail ready to go at all times. Usually have some kind of hat or bandana with me, if not both. It's poorly behaved on a good day so helmet hair isn't that far off the beaten path.

noche_caliente · July 15th, 2009, 02:17 PM

Like Paul, my hair does what it darn well pleases with or without the helmet, so a ponytail is my default hair style. I normally just pull it up again after I put on the helmet - I do also have a mini-brush in my tank bag should I need my hair to actually attempt to behave.

Neema12 · July 15th, 2009, 03:25 PM

buzzzzz cut!

when i had long hair i put it up in a messy bun after my helmet was on. or braided it.
now my hair is short and doesn't stick out of the helmet, but i straighten it b4 i go out riding, and it stays lookin nice all day.

Apex · July 15th, 2009, 04:08 PM

#2 all around. No worries!

ScorpionNinja · July 15th, 2009, 04:45 PM

Four Years ive been Buzzin' my Hair down to 1/8". So i dont do anything! lol
I do though, get the Triple lil Mohawk sometimes, if you look carefully!

Ken · July 15th, 2009, 05:09 PM

I buzz my hair off. So much better than dealing with helmet hair.

JaeL · July 15th, 2009, 05:17 PM

why wasn't there an "braids" option for me and blueT. or even better a "thugs rows" option?

ninjabrewer · July 15th, 2009, 05:36 PM

Sometimes carry a hat, depending on where I am going and what I am doing. But I am already so sexy with this blue ninja that I just let my hair go to tone the sexiness down so, you know, to keep the groupies in check. My wife gets upset when they attack and I get upset when they can't keep their hands off my blue baby.

nb

Grn99Kawi · July 15th, 2009, 05:59 PM

I usually keep my hair short.. but when it gets (relatively) long, I have been keeping a Yankees cap in teh front pocket of my jacket.... just got buzzed the other day though.

addy126 · July 15th, 2009, 06:16 PM

Very interesting thread and quite a problem to say the least! I've tried 3 different lengths... 1. short 2. less short 3. longer than short all have their own difficulties. Soooooo I've opted for 2. less short combined with thick fiber gel and a few quick messy swoops of the hands to lay it out loose and messy....... its a terrible battle

The guys are so lucky when choosing their shorter haircuts!

oh and neighbor's sister's Dippity Doo when his dad would hide his stuff

thanx for the memories

lockie · July 17th, 2009, 06:25 PM

What hair I have remaining sort of negotiates space inside the hwlmwt on a folicle by folicle basis. Each time I take off the helmet is a new expression of some sort of free form improvised art.

Such is Life

tc3jg · July 18th, 2009, 03:12 AM

ive got a fro so i carry ....my fist pik in my back pocket. and whip it out as I slide off my helmet and clip it to my bike lol

Strider · July 18th, 2009, 08:01 PM

I usually just keep it buzzed short, close crop at least. I used have hair that was 17 inches long ... those days are OVER

NJD022588 · July 20th, 2009, 10:13 AM

Buzzcut. Dont have to worry about it too much. It can look pretty bad after longer rides when it gets a little long though

GreezMunky · July 20th, 2009, 10:19 AM

I hacked off all my hair and now have a mini faux 'hawk.

Take the helmet off, run hand through top of middle of head, done.

rogue.guineapig · July 21st, 2009, 03:01 AM

Underarmor gangsta cap.

or Under Armor TO cap.

take your pick.

I might add that it keeps crap out of your helmet pads--like
hair gel and oil, grease, ukus (lice) and of course, fleas.
