Gel and Banana Clip

On just a day ride poker run, this worked for me. I washed my hair that morning and put lots of styling gel in it while wet, scrunching it thoroughly. Then I pulled it up, still wet, into a banana clip high on my head. At each stop, the helmet would come off and I would just finger fluff my bangs; between the light sweat and the gel it worked for me. At some stops I would remove the clip (as it tends to slip as the day goes on) and just fluff and flip my hair (very long - halfway down my back); back in the clip before slipping back into the helmet.

At the end of the ride I was amazed that my "helmet hair" wasn't bad at all! I feel I look really bad in a bandanna, so I'm glad this works for me. And with the gel, if the hair were to look really smashed all I would have to do is dampen with fresh water and re-scrunch...hardly a glamour look, but I didn't feel disheveled either. Hubby liked it, and since the hair is long because he likes it that way, it's all good in my world!
