Some different uses: keep bugs and dirt out of the hair, help with uncomfortable helmets, excuse to not wash or comb your mangy hair, and for the look.

I was given one for Christmas but can't use it cause I always wear my helmet, but did use it 4-wheeling to keep all the flying dust out of my hair.

 

My experience:

They help keep my helmet from soaking up sweat and smelling.

So, functional for me, but it comes off when I take the helmet off.

 

I use mine to keep sweat from being soaked up by my helmet pads
and it also helps keep the hairspray from your hair from slicking the pads
over.

 

same here, sweat barrier.

Didn't think about hairspray, because I don't use it, but could you imagine what helmets would look like if we still used Brylcreem?
Wouldn't worry about anyone "stealing" my helmet.

yeah. I've gone on occasion without helmet, but with do rag. It actually does keep your hair from flying so much and makes the ride a tad more comfy on the head. Nice in that respect.

More often, though, I put it on then put my helmet on for the above stated absorption reasons. Lately, my ritual is the following:

Don't bother messing with hair when I get out of the shower in the morning.
Put on do rag then helmet.
Then at work I keep a brush and some gel. First thing when I get to work, I go in the bathroom and fix my hair then go about my day.
On the way home, the do rag keeps any leftover gel or whatever from rubbing in to the pads in the helmet.

 

Gel??????????? What's that?????? :roll: :roll:

Bullzeyet

 

I thought it was to keep the dew off your head when you have passed out and slept on the lawn when your wife has locked you out.

 

Wife??????????? What's that?????? :roll: :roll:



Oh yeah I've heard of those... I hear they can literally suck the life right out of you :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

No hair here to worry about mussing up, and my helmet is vented so my chrome dome don't sweat, in the helmet anyway.

 

I shave my head... no rag to soak up sweat means I'm blind in ten minutes.

However, it comes off the second my helmet does, I think they look goofy as ****.

 

I wear those "Sweatvac" by Dowrap that I get at the Cycle Gear I have a couple--one has vents in the tops. Keeps my hair from getting static-y. $11.95 each. I don't like bandanas.

Under 40 degrees, I have on the balaclava-- boy, my hair looks pretty when that comes off!!! :lol:

Good gawd girl, what are you doing wearing a Greek Pastry on your head ?

That baklava is some good stuff. Sweet and rich but awesome tasting when done correctly.

Just never heard of using it on your head.

don't make fun of my spelling! You know I have a NC education!!!

 

It's spelled correctly.

I'm pretty sure he's just being punny.

Or trying to be. :wink:

I don't wear do-rags. I barely have any hair anymore so I don't get helmet hair as bad as I use to.

 

My head will itch if I don't wear one. Usually just a big bandana folded a time or two. Plus it hides the "helmet hair" when the helmet comes off.

 

Now I just need a way to keep the bugs outta my beard.

 

Seems you would look pretty silly wearing this:

:wink:

Amen


wash and brush....simple.

 

Now I'm hungry...

 

If you want to keep the interior of your helmet as fresh as the day you bought it, you had better find a rag for your smelly head.

Oh man! The memories... Bryl-Cream... and teh other one, Dippety-Doo...
My mom used to put those in our hair when we were in grade school... Made us look like McFly!

Oh, man...
