Long hair and 3-wheel rides

Can-Am 3-wheel vehicles represent freedom – freedom to be whoever you want to be, where ever you want to be. This goes all the way to your looks, like your hair. Long locks, no hair or anything in between, you’re always welcome to ride. Long hair, however, can get tricky on rides due to your helmet. Luckily, our brand ambassador Julana Dizon has great tips on how to keep your long hair looking fresh during and after a ride!

No matter which style you go for, the rule of thumb for hairstyles that work well with a helmet on are: 

• Tight – so your hair won’t loosen up during the ride 
• Away from the face – so you won’t be distracted by stray hairs
• Secure hair at the nape of your neck no matter the style

Now that we’ve got the basics covered, let’s get to those hairstyles we talked about. We’ll run through Julana’s top hairstyles for riding here, and you can also watch a tutorial we made with her on Youtube.

This is one of the easiest hairstyles to do overall. It’s also one that leaves little to no loose hairs waving around, so you’ll get the least amount of distractions as well. 

Julana’s four-step approach to the low bun starts with:

1. Pulling the hair into a ponytail, as discussed earlier, at the nape of the neck. 
2. Twisting the resulting ponytail around its hair tie. 
3. Have another hair tie to secure the bun in place.
4. Pull a gaiter over the bun to protect the hair and keep wispies in place.

Short rides don’t require that much effort, right? Julana’s answer to easy hairstyling for shorter rides is a low ponytail. It’s simple, it’s quick, and it’s also easy to open back up again as well. 

Again, just secure the hair tie as low and close to your neck as possible. And like with the braid before, it’s easy to tuck the ponytail inside your shirt or jacket to keep it mess-free for longer. 

• Dry shampoo – helps with frizzy hair.
• Scrunchies – the softer alternative to hair ties. Scrunchies don’t leave indentations on your hair as easily as regular elastic hair ties.
• Compact brush – keep on stowed on your Can-Am Ryker or Spyder for on-the-go hair styling.
