Helmet Hair Across America

I will say Mark and I have had many bad hair days across the United States. Helmet Hair is not a good look, most specifically when mixed with sweat and humidity. One particularly nice look that I went for was my "rap rag," which of course is just that, a rag that rappers wear. I picked one of these up along side the road in a little store in the desert of Utah. I soaked that baby in water and put it on my head under my helmet. It kept me cooler, but when I took it off it really gave my hair an interesting effect. Of course, Mark just went for the flat, sweaty look that cursed both of us during our 3,000 mile journey. The looks we received when we checked in to our hotels were very interesting. They were either pity, fear or something that bordered on confusion. I must say that pretty much all vanity goes out the window on a journey such as this. So much for getting my nails done before I left. I will admit that was a really bad idea, since now the french manicure is black, not white, due to stains left behind from my gloves.
