helmet = bad hair day! Any remedies?
I'm sure this will make me sound like a wimp... but... I want to know if anyone has a suggestion for wearing a helmet without smashing your hair. I have healthy hair that doesn't need washing every day, but if I smash it with a helmet, then it looks awful until I wash it again. Does anyone have a tip for wearing a helmet without totally messing up your hair? Are some helmets better for that than others, or am I asking such ridiculous question that you are all LOL now?
 I am not in the habit of wearing a helmet for anything and am having to get used to the idea of wearing one. Also, what other things should I consider when buying a helmet? Right now I have a really cheap one.

Don't wear a helmet.

I got my head shaved for a cancer research fundraiser. We raised about $26,000. It was worth the loss of hair AND I don't have to worry about helmet head for awhile. Now I'm the "crazy, bald lady that rides a unicycle."

I couldn't really wear a helmet when I had dreads, made my head too big and prevented the helmet from fitting properly. The dreads themselves made pretty good shock absorbers though.

I don't know about you guys, but generally whenever I do cycling that involves a helmet (I don't ride motorcycles anymore), I'm due for a shower afterwards. If that isn't convenient, sticking your head in a bucket of water seems to help.
