head itch solution
My better half informed me yesterday that one of the reasons she doesn't want to ride much anymore is that she gets the head itch. Only when she wears a helmet and she won't ride without it. She's tried a bandana...baseball cap....thin beanie, all under the helmet and nothing seems to help. Anyone else have this problem or know someone who has and found a solution?

Ask her to try a different shampoo or maybe a medicated rinse. Seriously. That can help. Also look at the kind of liner material in the helmet that is causing the itch and see if you can find her a helmet with a different liner material. Be sure and buy a helmet that has vents so that air flow can get inside the helmet for cooling. Good luck.

Maybe something in the liner is causing a contact dermatitis. Try a different helmet. She would have some flaking if she had seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff. That doesn't say why she has itching on the bike only.
Maybe it's the air circulating over her scalp? My head itches when I sweat and the wind blows over it but I rock a bald head. Hard to help without seeing it.

My wife says it a women thing to wanna use hairspray even tho your fixin to put on a helmet. Stopped using the hairspray and the head itch stopped. She figured she's gonna have helmet head anyway so why waste the hairspray.
