Skiing can be a thrilling way to pass the time, but it’s important to wear a helmet before you hit the slopes. This can get a little tricky if you have longer hair—while it’s best to keep your hair out of your face, you don’t want to stuff it into your helmet, either. Thankfully, there are a few happy mediums that will keep your hair secure without any discomfort.

Choosing Simple Braids

  1. Twist your hair into a simple French braid to prevent helmet hair. Go for a French braid if you have long or shoulder-length hair that tends to get in your face while you ski. Start by grabbing 3 even sections of hair along the back of your head, then alternating them in a regular braid pattern. Continue adding more hair to each individual section as you continue to braid down your scalp. Once you finish braiding along your scalp, you can normally braid the rest of your hair.
    • A French braid feels comfortable beneath a ski helmet and won’t get in your face while you’re hitting the slopes.
    • You can loosen your braid and “mess” it up a bit to give your hair a more natural look.
  2. Try a low braid if you don’t feel like braiding all of your hair. Grab 3 even sections of hair along the base of your scalp, close to where your hairline ends. Layer these sections over one another, creating a thick braid that goes down your back. This is a great style to try if you’re in a rush, or if you aren’t as confident in your French braiding skills.
    • For instance, you can wear this braid down your back or dangle it over 1 shoulder. The choice is yours!
  3. Switch things up with 2 braids. Pick the braiding style of choice and split your hair into 2 sections. You can play around with 2 French braids, or try 2 traditional plaits or Dutch braids. You can dangle these braids over your shoulders or let them both hang down your back, depending on what you’re more comfortable with.
    • Two braids will still fit comfortably beneath a ski helmet, and may be a better option if you have thicker, unruly hair.
    • You can also tie your braids into 2 buns to keep your hair extra secure.
  4. Tie your hair in a comfortable fishtail braid. Secure your hair in a ponytail, then split it into 2 even sections. Take a small, third section of hair from 1 of these larger sections and loop it around both portions of your ponytail. Repeat this process by taking a section of hair from the opposite side of the ponytail and looping it around. This creates a comfortable and casual braid that you can easily wear to the side or down your back, depending on what you’re in the mood for.
    • Fishtail braids can be a little tricky to get down at first, but they’re easier than you may think!
  5. Pin your braids up for a sleek look. Tie your hair into 2 braids and place them along the top of your head. Curve both ends of your braids toward one another so your hair forms a smooth arch along the top of your head. Secure your hair in place with some bobby pins, then put your helmet on before you go skiing.
    • This is a great option if you don’t want any hair dangling behind or next to your head.

Opting for Updos

  1. Create an elegant look with a single bun. Twist all of your hair up, holding it around the base of your head. Tie the hair into a low, simple bun, which you can secure in place with a hair tie.
    • You can also use bobby pins to help hold this bun in place.
  2. Tie your hair into 2 low buns for a quick, easy look. Divide your hair into 2 even sections. Take each section of hair and twist it into a bun, securing each into place with a hair tie. These buns can help you wear a ski helmet comfortably without your hair feeling cramped or out-of-control.
  3. Try a low ponytail if you’re looking for something simple. Gather up all of your hair along the base of your head, then secure in place with a hair tie. This is a great solution for any type of hair, whether it’s on the shorter side, or if it goes all the way down your back.
    • High ponytails won’t fit comfortably under a ski helmet.
