If you don’t want to sacrifice good looks to ride your bike, then take time to prepare before you hit the road. Try experimenting with different hairstyles to see what works best in preserving your coiffure on the road. You could even be selective in your choice of motorcycle helmets to pick one that works best with your hair, although safety should always be your first priority.
Ponytail

The ponytail is perhaps the most common of all hairstyles for motorcycle riding, yet it can be extremely appealing when styled in creative ways. Combine a ponytail with multiple French braids along the sides and top of your head for an an elegant touch to your “do.”
If you’re into more exotic looks, try multiple tails spaced evenly down the top and back of the head to produce a mohawk-effect.
A loop-in ponytail is simple yet classy and will keep your hair neat and tidy. Simply comb your hair back and secure with an elastic band at the nape of the neck. Then part the hair right above the band and loop the ponytail through, for a “poofy” tail effect in back. This style is incredibly easy to fix, simple to maintain and looks great with or without bangs.
Braids

Braids are extremely practical and convenient for motorcycle riding. Explore various helmet-friendly braid options for ideas on unique styles that will make you stand out. A collection of braids along the side and top of your head makes an exquisite braid crown that can be pinned by a barrette in back. Collect the remaining hair in a ponytail for riding and turn it loose at your destination for that feminine touch.
For shoulder-length wavy hair, try the sensuous appeal of a hair band French braid extending from one ear to the other across the top. This braid will keep your top hair nicely styled and pull the remaining hair away from your face as you ride. Apply a little gel or spray to your back hair to keep it free of frizz and tangles.

Short and Sexy

If you plan to take up motorcycling long term, short, one length hairstyles offer greater convenience in hair maintenance and care. Short hairdos – whether straight, wavy or curly – fit nicely under motorcycle helmets and are easy to revive once you reach your destination. A silk scarf or bandana wrapped around your head will keep your short hair from becoming sweaty and matted beneath the helmet. Once you arrive, spend a few minutes of sprucing up with a little pomade, gel or mousse and you will be all set to go. Make sure to always carry a hair product “survival kit” with the essential items you need whenever you ride.
