I am here with few options for you overcome these issues and hassles.
Uncontrollable tangled hair! How to fix them?
Huge concern for woman riders are their hair(especially girls with long hair) as they get frizzy and unmanageable. It happens with everyone while putting on and taking off your helmet, they are all tangled and messed. To control this, I have a great option which will definitely help you to get desired hair within few minutes.

Sweaty bike rides do affect your hair a lot. They tend to become oily and frizzy. Dry shampoo really helps you to control sweat and you can get smooth and fresh hair. You just need to spray some onto your hair and massage it really well. This dry shampoo also helps in controlling hair odor due to sweat.
