Preventing helmet head
What works best for you?
I've heard that shortening your hair is a good way to go, but that's not a practical option for me. Is there a shampoo or something that would help?

Don't wear a helmet seems like the simplest solution.
They aren't needed anyway.

I get bad helmet head when hair is between 1/4" and 2" long.
At 2" and above if I put Groom & Clean in my hair, helmet head is greatly reduced, and even totally eliminated if I squirt some water from my water bottle into my hand and then run it through my hair.

Seems to me helmet hair is like the tan lines. It should be cultivated and against The Rules to take preventative steps against.

Why would you want to prevent it? You probably kick puppies too...

It's like camel toe. Some people wear it with pride.

Helmet head is a badge to be worn proudly. It means that you are a real cyclist.
Do not worry that women think you look like a complete idiot.
Sincerely-
Guys who think cycling tan lines are cool.
