    How has wearing a helmet (motorbike any other) affected your hair?

    As it goes for me, its flattened down all my ones at the back so some of them are almost 3 inches across. and no amount of palmrolling can get them round D:

    the friction did help them to tighten up REALLY quickly when i first had them done, but with a MASSIVE frizz halo.

    Discuss :)

    I wear a lacrosse helmet, when playing/practicing but its not for a great length of time all at once so it hasn't really done anything, but then again I don't know how they would have turned out without having worn the helmet. I haven't really noticed them being horribly flat though, sure the ends are a little flat, but they stick out under the helmet so are not affected by it.

    I don't know what it would be like if you had to wear a helmet for whatever reason all day, if I had to I'd want one that fit nice - anything too tight would stop movement = stop knots = never a good thing.

    I got a helmet but I like to call it my thinking cap. I put it when I get really faded and my brains just not workin as fast and creative as needed. Like if were trying to figure out what were gonna do tonight, but everyones so stoned all they can say is........."whaaat?" I pop that shit on and you can practically hear the thunder I'm brainstormin so hard.

    that's it. Wonder where those glasses came from. I don't even where glasses.

    When I take off the the helmet the general response is, OMG! Like Ahmad is sooo hawt right now! Or somethin like AAAhhhmad, make whoopie to me!


    Oh yea, palm rolling is for the scallywags.

    No amount of palmrolling will get anything round.

    Just like smoking banana leaves will never get you high.

    when I go gokarting I wear a fully enclosed helmet.
    I have to wear a beanie under it or the helmet just rips the shit outta my dreads.
    Haven't noticed any effects on my dreads.. but then again I don't wear a helmet everyday

    I work on an oil refinery and I have to wear a hard hat when i'm on site and it's really uncomfortable as it doesn't fit properly and I have to crush my hair down just to get it on. Do they make supersized hard hats?

    I've been called many things, like....master chef of spaghettio's, Joe Joe the cave dweller and my main man, but never hero.

    You guys are causing something very un-natural to happen. My right eyeball is getting puffy with salty drool and the sniffles are becoming irreversible.:D

    Do you gots the american round style ones or our oval ones that are kinda baseball-cap-ish (only in comparison to the round hard hats)

    TBH the ones we have are never very comfy, but I can fit them over my huge head with huge dreads, and if I take the suspension out (when your gaffer isn't looking / caring) then it fits on my head perfectly, like some massive plastic hat, they still get far too hot.
