I keep my hair shorter than 1/4 inch #1 on the DIY clipper set, so this is never an issue. I ride too often to worry about having some fashionable hair style, 100% function over form. In winter i wear a hat, thickness depending on the ambient outdoor temp under helmet in place of the pads. In summer the short hair also means sweat evaporates more quickly, and i say cooler because air can get to the skin.
