Girlie hair

Erm, a "friend" of mine has fairly long girly hair. This needs to be dried with a hairdryer in the morning otherwise it goes frizzy and sticks out all over the place and takes too long to dry and also walking round the office with wet hair isn't really an option. I am wanting to start cycling to work again (after a few months in a new job) but there is no where to plug in a hairdryer where I work.
It's only 4 miles to work so I am considering some test runs to see if I can get to work without sweating so I don't need a shower (and without messing up my hair). My biggest two issues will be rain and sweat from wearing the bike helmet. Does anyone (maybe some helpful ladies) have any advice on getting to work while keeping my head sweat free in the nice weather and rain free in the bad weather? Any help (other than cut your hair) is much appreciated
Thanks

Think your best bet is if you really feel the need to wash your hair after each bike ride is try a few products out, there are loads to tame wiild hair down, even a different shampoo can work wonders (Charles Worthington shampoo works great for me)
Maybe consider something less like the right of the picture, and more like the left of the picture?
Thanks for the reply - You're right I don't need to wash it, the probablem is if it gets wet from rain or sweat it goes a bit Ken Dodd. Charles Worthington stuff does help but not enough; maybe one of their serums or something would help, but they are too expensive to try if they don't work.
you don't need to buy the dear stuff, I know I mentioned Charles Worthington shampoo which is expensive but for me it really makes a difference but hair gels and mouse, oils etc can be found in one of those local cheap type shop for a pound or 2, and don't think you have to just look a mens stuff, women get way more choice and in most cases much cheaper too.
buzzing down twisting single track then.... psssst BANG!!!
sloppycowpat> I think I have some of this, will try some of that and the worthington stuff and hopfully iI could get out of the shower and make it 4 miles without ending up too much frizzy business.
Cheers
Give both a try, before your ride, after ride on dry hair and even with a shower, surely one will work, if not I'll come and fit a frigging plug at your work place lol
Controls the smell too.
Can't remember the name, but it's in a green bottle.
2012 Cube Ltd SL (the hardtail XC 26er)
2014 Lapierre Zesty TR 329 (the full-sus 29er)
Really!Johnsons sell a product that is designed to be used to coverup unwashed hair,and in the kids section too :shock:
Caps/hats can be better, than helmets ie don't pull the hair though the vents! most/all will go under helmets
other options maybe are the sprays they do work quite well.
other possibilities are to put your hair up?
Not long enough to put up (yet, still not decided on that part)
Only issue now is possible rain. Will be trying a few products, tying hair up (it's longer than I thought) and I do have some battery straighteners. Think I'll risk it tomorrow because I'm desperate to get cycling again.
Might even post those photos lol
