Grow it into a pony tail?
Use some gel and make the most of it.

I've always worn a bandana under my helmet (gangsta style) for comfort and
sweat absorbtion. Maybe it could help prevent your asperous coiffure.

When you doff your bucket, give your head a little rub-a-dub-dub a
squirt from your bottle and that should make them nubs poink.

Yeah- like the little 12 year-old ponks you see at the mall. That's a

Yeah.... wash your f*&#in hair once in a while.
Actually, in my heyday year of obsessive cycling (6 hours+ daily), I
had 'blonder' spots of hair where my vents where. I just went with it.

Ride with a bandana over your hair, then a helmet.
