Helmet hair

[Redribbon]

Greetings!
I am planning to remove my helmet at some point during the cosplay day - and I have concerns about crazy hair from static electricity! There's plenty of room for a tight bun, but I happen to have bangs and plenty of fly aways!
I seem to see most females either keep the helmet off (displaying perfect hair) or have a ski hood on (and never expose the hair).
Are their any veteran females (or males with long hair) that have recommendations for managing this?

I'm a short-haired guy, but I would suggest keeping the helmet off, and carrying it. This way, you get to (A) Display your helmet, and (B) Display your perfect hair.

lol, win-win all the way!

Well if I keep it off all day - hands will be full constantly as I also want to bring the rifle. I've never been to a convention let alone cosplay- I assume there will be things I will want to hold or buy there haha.

Are you having trouble finding specific armor files for pepekura/foam/3D builds? Or files you thought you already downloaded/saved?
The costumes and props tab has threads in that section covering the process for builds. or the long way is to just search HALO (or other key words for the halo armor build you are looking for) in the website search engine for the Armory

I have got something very similar to a sky mask it's basically for riding motorcycles and controlling the temperature. I find it easier to keep everything in place and also hides your neck and hair, since it's long enough to get tucked in to a shirt. Win win. And you get that sweet buzz lightyear look when you remove the helmet.

Keeping a dryer sheet in a pocket helps cut down on static build up.

Most of the time I just rock the Balaclava, but other times I just go without.

Maybe don't do any foam inside the helmet?
Personally I went with how Stormies rock. The headstrap, you can take it from security helmet.
It will allow for more air and airflow in the helmet and should not make your hair electric.

Other than that people just rather wear balaclavas or such masks.

That is an awesome idea. I picked up a trooper helmet for 2 bucks at a yard sale and was just going to use the voice box for a build but now I have more parts to use yay.
