To hell with helmet hair!
A sprinkle a ride will help keep your ’do in stride

By: Denise Ornelas, Bakotopia.com contributor

What true biker babe has never had helmet hair? If you say that you’re the only one I will try and keep your secret, but we all know it is inevitable.

Clothing is a definite must when riding on the back of your man’s hog, but it’s when you take off that helmet that really matters! It’s a lot easier to reapply some lipstick and touch up your blush than it is to completely redo your hair.

Come on, is your guy really gonna let you bring all your hair supplies (blow-dryer, curling iron, shampoo, conditioner, etc.)? For all you biker baby dolls, here’s a simple little tip - perfect after a long, warm ride under the helmet.

If you are a woman that tends to be a little hot-headed, keep a small bottle of baby powder in your pocket (a little travel size container will do the trick). When you finally make a pit-stop, head to the ladies room and apply a little baby powder at the root of your hair, sprinkle in just a little and then bend over and shake your hair out. You gals would not believe how much it helps to spruce up your hair, absorb some of the moisture - and the best part is you smell fresh and clean!

Wondering how I know this works? Well on DL, I knew a couple girls back in the day who hated to wash their hair or even take a shower, and this was their secret to keeping their hair looking fresh. Believe it or not it worked miracles for their nasty asses! LOL!

Warning Ladies - more is not necessarily better, so make sure you are careful with how much powder you are sprinkling on your head the first time.  Another word of advice - do not get creative with this simple trick. Meaning: do not try using different powders, stick with only baby powder, and leave the Gold Bond Medicated to the boys!

All it takes is a small pocket to save your chaps! Good luck biker babes and let me know how fabulous your new and improved biker ’dos turn out!
