Solution for motorcycle helmet linings that make your head itchy...

OOOHHH! Don't you hate it when you are riding and the synthetic lining in the helmet pulls your hair and makes your head feel itchy all over? AND what relief when you take the hlemet off and scratch but who can stop to do this all the time!

Well, I simply bought a bandanna ($1.00 at the Dollarama store) and placed it (pattern facing me) in my helmet.

Then I cut off the excess material leaving an extra 2 inches of material all around.

Roll/fold about 1 inch of this "border" area material UNDER to make a nice clean edge.

Press this material liner into your helmet fairly loosely.

Carefully HOT GLUE GUN the edge around the helmet inside but only do a dot or two at a time - and press the material liner into your helmet to stick. Voila! You've lined your helmet and no more "itchy" head! And when you take the helmet off the liner stays put. NO more bandanna ends to fly out of the helmet or slip out from under it!

Also I found it is better to wash and dry your hair the night before and not wash it or use hair products on it the same day you are riding. Take a little spray bottle of water to spritz on your hair once the helmet is off, run your fingers through it. Ladies: wear nice earrings and a pretty colour lipstick. SMILE!
