Wear a Helmet Sock

They make several various helmet socks but the outcome is the same. I like the version that is shaped like an open face helmet (no tie and no under the chin). You put the sock on first while tucking in your hoop-earrings and extra hair. Then pull your helmet on over like normal. You won't have the pulling on the hair roots like you normally would have. When it comes time to take your helmet off the sock come off automatically while leaving your hair and earrings still in place. I have short curly hair now but have used this with my long wavy hair style too. The other big key factor would be to have a helmet with vents at the top. This would keep the heat from you head from flattening your hair. Good luck!
