Helmet hair

Messy hair. The flat, lifeless appearance of hair, or wild, 'uncontrollable' appearance of hair when a motorcycle helmet is removed. Most affected are women and it's a common problem for those with a coiffure.

Out of respect, grandmothers, women over 55 and church ladies are granted dispensation from being labeled as having helmet hair.
