This topic is a bit off topic and it's really intended for the female roadster enthusiasts out there. My girlfriend loves the car, loves riding in it and loves being seen it. What she doesn't love is what the wind does to her hair(I know, I know:o). What do the women out there do to keep their hair under control, excluding caps? Thanks, I think Ill go take my skirt off now and try to pretend I'm still macho.

Those little scrunchy things seem to help, my wife used those in our wrangler. You need to come up with a way to buffet the wind from the back, but no dual rolls I see, which makes that a challenge. Pigtails and pony tails might be the requisite hair style.

Jorge, based on the title, I think you need to start by marrying her since she is just a girlfriend ;) :D hahaha

Mary wears a ball cap... Nothing cuter than a gal in a baseball cap :D

Tell your wife your girlfriend doesn't complain and tell your girlfriend your wife doesn't complain. At least you have a fast car for the getaway.....

My wife has the same issue: concern about her hair, and not wanting to wear a hat! What to do? Here are my thoughts. I built this car for myself, in part as a consolation for having to give up motorcycling after about 32 years (arthritis in my neck). Because this is my first open car ever, I discovered early that I needed to wear a wide-brimmed hat for the shade, except of course on cloudy days. I use this car as a daily driver in my work, from late March to mid November here in MA. And so back to my wife. She is not at all the auto enthusiast that I am, but she understands what that means for me. As a result, I will have her with me in the FFR on a few select occasions each year, when everything is just right: weather, temperature, wind, etc. And so with her, I simply don't use the FFR as often as I might were I by myself, but I don't mind that one bit. To answer your question, I have never heard the matter of hair nets (ugh!!!) discussed as a solution...

All Jodi asked for was to be warm. So, we've got heated seats and I bought her a 12-volt heated blanket that we carry in the trunk. As far as controlling the wind, sun visors and wind wings help a great deal as will a "buffet shield" (a baffle mounted behind the seats attached to the roll bars.) Jodi got very creative about controlling "helmet hair" when we had our Gold-Wing so she says the car is no big deal after dealing with that.

I used to roadrace motorcycles, and used a product called the HairGlove (http://www.hairglove.com/). They have a ton of colors and styles.
