crazybirdman Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have appoximately this much hair: any tips for getting into the helmet? I tried tucking the dreads into the neck seal, but it's uncomfortable, and i can't turn my head if I do that. Right now i just sort of wrap it up behind my head, but it pushes the helmet backwards when I do that, so my nose os pressed agains the front. Which is also uncomfortable. Any tips, suggestions, or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Can you wrap it around and up rather than back? So that the front 'bulge' and back 'bulge are equal? Or use a hair net? And no don't cut your hair off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X[TK] Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Well...I have this much hair so can't really offer much. I think the balaclava idea is a good idea though. --------- Edited March 1, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnenschein Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) What Jim said I think they originally wore them because of those 70ies hair styles Juan (ionoclasta88) has a similar hair-do as you and the balaclava works just fine for him.

anphrax[TK] Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah just try one of those balaclava things. These guys had lots of hair too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyInWhite[TK] Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Take it from a girl with lots of thick hair: balaclava. And pull as much back as you can without distorting how the helmet sits on your head. I have no padding in the back of my bucket. I like the "bigger bucket" suggestion. And that's the bottom line, because LadyInWhite said so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
