Riding for hours is freedom — until your hair gets in the way. Whether you’re cruising the coast, commuting to work, or doing a weekend group ride, keeping hair secure, comfortable and photo-ready is essential. In this guide we’ll cover practical, easy-to-follow tips for hair security on long rides and recommend the best biker head bands — including the ever-popular Hair Glove EZ Bandz — that combine grip, comfort and style.
Why the right head band matters on a ride
The wrong accessory can slip, cause discomfort under your helmet, or frizz hair so badly you’ll spend more time fixing it than enjoying the ride. A purpose-built biker head band or EZ band headband:
- Prevents wind-blown hair from getting in your face
- Reduces helmet friction and tangling
- Keeps hair tidy for post-ride plans (photos, dinner, errands)
- Can add sun protection and absorb sweat on hot rides
That’s why picking the right material, fit and style matters — and why so many women choose Women’s biker headbands and Motorcycle hair wraps designed specifically for helmet use.
Top tips to secure your hair for long rides
Use these practical tips before you leave the driveway.
Start With The Right Prep
Wash and condition with lightweight products so hair isn’t weighed down. Leave-in serums help reduce static and frizz. If your hair’s prone to frizz, a small amount of smoothing cream helps.
Use A Low, Secure Base
Create a low ponytail, braid, or bun at the nape of the neck. Low styles sit comfortably under helmets and won’t press against your skull. For very long rides, a loose braid reduces tension while keeping hair contained.
Anchor With an EZ Band or Hair Glove
Slip a Hair Glove EZ Bandz or similar EZ headbands bling over your hair and helmet line to anchor everything. These are designed to grip hair without pulling, and many are low-profile enough to sit under most helmets comfortably.
Choose The Right Fabric & Width
Microfiber blends and cotton–spandex mixes wick sweat and reduce slipping. Wider bands distribute pressure and are more comfortable over long periods. If you want sparkle — look for blingy headbandz with rhinestone trims that won’t scratch your helmet lining.
Mind Helmet Fit And Padding
If your helmet is too tight, no band will save you — and if it’s too loose, your head may move and create friction. Add thin helmet pads if needed, but avoid bulky padding that disturbs the band.
Re-Tie Strategically
On long breaks, re-tie or refresh your low bun/ponytail to avoid knots. A small mist of anti-frizz spray or a dab of hair oil keeps strands in check.
