Here we discuss everything related to motorcycle (and scooter!) riding, maintenance and gear.
Rules:
I put my riding jacket on so that my ponytail stays under the collar. Then I put my scarf on without knotting it, it pretty much secures my hair with the helmet.
But of course this all often fails and my thick, wavy mane gets loose and my daughters get to play "let's untangle Dad's hair again" - game. And they are getting really good at it.
Look up the high tail. It attaches to the back of your helmet and you can tuck your hair inside of it. Absolute game changer.
Thanks for the suggestion! I checked it out and it does look very effective. Sadly I don't like the look of it at all, to the point where I'd rather just untangle my hair after every ride.
A braid starting below the helmet rim seems to work for my SO
I learned to braid my hair.
I do a pony tail and pull my hair through the last time only half way.
French braids. A hair wrap doesn't hurt.
I’m all ears, too. Getting tired of dealing with the tangles after a ride is always the last stage in the “I’m gonna grow my hair out again” cycle.
One thing that works is a regular ponytail with just the very end doubled up and tightly tied with elastic.
I've been either adding an additional tie or two, with one tighter and closer to the end (but it doesn't always stay) or more often I use a long "Buff" (the dominant brand for the fabric tube "multifunctional neck gater" products) worn like a bandana and don't bother with a tie. For my riding at least, if the buff is as long as or longer than my hair, I usually don't end up with the tangles I'd normally get. If I don't want it flapping in the wind, it is also long enough to tuck the buff's end into my collar (or just put my jacket on over top of the buff and pull out a little slack) and it stays there even with shoulder-checks.
It might look similar to the high tail thing someone else suggested so maybe my suggestion isn't too helpful.
