My Helmet Hair Tip for Those with Long, Straight Hair

by Ellen
(Vermont)

This is what works for me, and won't work for everyone but here goes:

I have long, straight, fine, flyaway hair. When I take the helmet off, the static electricity causes the hair to wrap around my face and it drives me nuts! Of course, it's also flat against my head. To combat that situation, I bring along a small tube of sunblock, believe it or not. As soon as I arrive at my destination, I put a small, pea-sized blob of sunblock in my palm and rub my hands together, as though I'm putting hand cream on my hands. I then flip my hair upside down by bending forward and I run my fingers through my hair. This gets rid of the static flyaways instantly and it gives my hair a bit of lift. Sounds like it would cause it to look greasy but no, it does not. By distributing it evenly on my hands, there is no greasy effect--it's sort of like putting leave-in hair conditioner on. For those who are really, really bothered by their appearance (OK, yes, sometimes I can be vain), you can bring a little zip pouch with a travel size bottle of hair spray, a mini mirror and a mini brush.
