Long hair in a helmet for men

[@kesman9381]

01:30 starts the video for the speed runners out here.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

OMG this is excellent!! I’ve gotta share this!

[@reaganabraham1528]

I just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and now I'm finding you everywhere lol. Keep doing the good work!

[@Leadfoot19]

I'm bald but had to watch because Doodle sent me

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Bahahha you rock

[@cprn.]

What works well for asymmetric hair styles is combing your hair to the opposite of where you want them, e.g. if you've combed them to the right then after taking off the helmet you comb them to the left and they'll maintain tons of volume because they got compressed to the right and will try to lift to that side. It requires practice, though, because one false move and half your hair doesn't match the direction of the other half... in a bad way.

[@loganroderick7214]

i have middle part:((idk if ill keep it tho bc it looks dum)

[@Rav3nclaw43]

Scrolled back a whole three years on your friends channel. Never found any tips for long ass hair and riding. But that balaclava technique and tucking the excess under my jacket would do well enough

[@monkeyplayer1]

That last part where you pulled the sleeve off to leave your hair back I was like “ahhhh genius “ 😂

[@Hondasrock87]

My hair is coming up to chin length probably 4 inches longer than what you’ve got in the video. Watching you pull the neck roll out at the end was an absolute winning move for me. 😂. Brilliant.

[@JonathanJien]

The last trick literally saved me!! Love it! Genius!! Liked and subscribed!!

[@doricdave]

The last suggestion works brilliantly, I don’t like wearing anything under helmet as it’s to hot so pulling it out from the back is perfect! 👍

[@thequietguy7]

I have a massive head. XXL with the thinnest padding available is still quite tight (Could never find XXXL in stock to try). For the first time in my life, due to covid lockdowns,I'm rocking longish hair and I absolutely could not figure out how to get my helmet on without having hair in my face. I've got a bunch of neck gaiters, but I had never dawned on me to use one as you've illustrated. THANK YOU!

[@yodomcat]

Your welcome, glad it helped 👍🏻 I have a similar problem (all be it on a small helmet) where for something to fit I can’t have the sena speakers in and certain scull caps would make the lid too tight. I’ll be doing a video soon on my estranged journey to finally finding a helmet that fits! Keep your eye on the channel 😉

This was extremely helpful I hate getting my hair tugged the neck roll was definitely the best for me since my hair is extremely poofy and if I pull it down it goes below my shoulders thank you so much

[@ykwongtube]

the last trick is brilliant

[@bbdoook]

I just turn my head to the sky then put on my helmet, my hair comes to my chin. But I'll do this from now on, I put styling product on my hair and it would be great if it didn't touch inside of the helmet. Nice video btw

[@cam-inf-4w5]

The last one is genius

[@abhisheksen7990]

I have been using both a balaclava and a neck roll. Gotta say neck roll is my favourite as it’s lighter, softer and feels more comfortable. I have using it by folding inwards in a double ply mode so that extra neck roll don’t stay at the back of my neck.

[@yodomcat]

I’ve got a Dainese silk balaclava which is my fave!

[@LQUIDR6]

[@Reg20801]

What I do is put the soft back bit of the helmet on my forehead then slide it over and it pushes my hair back whilst I put the helmet on

[@twistofthethrottle]

Definitely done the cut it off and regret it so many times.

what is the brand and the model that u use at the first time (black gold color) english not good😅, is it"the road rock"? dont know if i heard right

[@ravindecavalier2912]

Not only do I have long hair but it’s curly and I went to buy my first helmet and it got real messy when I took it off and everyone was laughing at me and telling me to cut it but I ain’t lol

[@yodomcat]

Noooo don't cut it! Also if your hair is thick you might need to size down on your helmet! Wig nets are also handy to carry should you need your hair back in a pinch. You can buy them for £5 on eBay.

[@Lordfoogthe3st]

I made that face of the meme guy going “oh my gawd.” In that last bit. Man’s a genius.

[@cw6600]

Thanks for the tips mate 👍

[@thelongboarddude95]

Or.... You get a modular helmet. They are excellent for preserving your hair. I alway open the helmet and put it on in a sliding motion to the back. This way, all my hair is retained to the back, and will come out looking sharp, even with product in my hair. It will also not go in my eyes while riding. It's similar to a Jet helmet when putting on, an then you fold down the chin bar. Done. Only downside, you have less good looking options and they can be a bit heavier.

[@yodomcat]

I can’t get on with modular helmets, shame as I like the concept.

Can you do one for a full pong tail. Twist didn’t really have a video for hair up.

[@yodomcat]

I have full pony tail length again and it all still applies, with the balaclava/snood your hair is under the fabric so not getting windswept.

[@Jason-kc5jx]

@@yodomcat I appreciate the quick reply. I was worried about having to chop my hair off or end up looking like a 90 year old hells angel Harley rider.

[@yodomcat]

@@Jason-kc5jx No probs. I tie mine in a pony, as I put the balaclava on then take it out of the pony tail so my hair is all swept back and free, but under the balaclava (and a bit under my jacket) so not getting the elements. It's usually as that point I realise I didn't do my earplugs... lol

[@frankmallard845]

Ive got shoulder length hair and I wear a neck tube the same way as you but it still pulls out the hair at the front of my head and just above my ears when I put it on or take it off. Any ideas to stop my hair from getting ripped out??

[@yodomcat]

Change the tube, sounds like you have a polyester and would do better with silk. You can also get wider ones.

[@frankmallard845]

@@yodomcat yeah good idea, its a 'foggy' neck tube, not sure on the material I think it's synthetic. Thanks for the quick reply and advice:)

[@yodomcat]

@@frankmallard845 I have loads of tubes, there is certainly a quality difference and size. If you go to a large store like J&S they usually have them on display so you can try a few on. Such a small product but makes a massive difference!

My soft balaclava has seams on the forehead and all around the eye area so when I take my hjc off there is red marks on my forhead. Without any head covering my helmet makes my hair static in the wind. Need to get silk one cause my skin and ears are sensitive.

Same, seemless silk is the only way. Dainese do the one I have.

My hair never got that long! Always just off the shoulder. You need one of those helmet buns. Tie it up and whack it in the bun done and out of the way.

@@yodomcat Oh I've got to let you know the other day I went to a friends house didnt get the balaclava yet and my hairs where all over the place kinda like dryblowing gone wrong and he gave me a drop of argan oil. Worked wonders! And the bottle is so tiny it'll fit right into your jacket. Just had to share this revelation =)

[@SENPAI.Popaii]

iv'e been trying to fit motor helmets on my head but i have shoulder length hair, so when i try to squeeze my head in it, it pulls my hair with it which creates really bad discomfort and pain. i tried size L and XL i'm gonna try XXL now, i don't wan't to cut my hair lol.

[@yodomcat]

You need a balaclava, skull cap or do-rag. Tie your hair back put the head gear on, then the helmet. That way your hair is flat and protected and the helmet will not pull your hair.

[@SENPAI.Popaii]

@@yodomcat i do use a balaclava and still have the problem which is odd.

[@PlanetShuffle]

Can I also wear a balaclava even if I have hair as long as John Wick's? Or is the Neck Roll the most advisable one?

[@yodomcat]

All depends on your head and helmet. I have a small arai and can only wear a thin balaclava. My medium HJC is more forgiving. It will be trial and error.

I too use balaclava, but one problem i get with my hair (it's long, about shoulder length) is the hair getting greasy really fast (and i mean really really fast, especially bc i wear helmet for job purposes and that is about 8 hours every day). When it gets warm outside, under the helmet is scorching hot and my hair roots get greasy as hell... Idk how to battle that problem

[@yodomcat]

Same here. Although mine drops off the cliff the next day. (My hair is now shoulder length again). Dry shampoo. Also you can get dry shampoo on a mousse which is small enough to go under the seat. Also experiment with other fabrics. I found my silk balaclava does it more than my cotton (but the silk is nicer).

Whats your hair like though after wearing it for around 20/30 minutes, Is it all flat against your head with no lift?

Flatter, but not flat. Quick run through with water on hand and volume is back. If your hair is wet or sweaty however then it will be flat and in need of a comb.
