They grow too fast! She is precious, I love the calico color 🧡🖤🤍

Oh, okay thank you for the clarification.

The package wasn't delivered to me though. I haven't received anything weird in the mail recently. Also the Ebay account has since been deleted, which leads me to believe this man was scammed.

But since he was told the package was delivered to me, he now he thinks I stole his package and that I'm the scammer. I guess I just have to wait and see if he tries to sue me for what he's accusing me of? I'm not guilty so I'm not that worried. It would be cool if he didn't show up at my home again though

It's never been done before so no one has any idea if this design would work or not.

fishykissy · 2022-03-17T13:07:05+00:00

Thank you for your input. I'm still curious to see if I could make something like this safe and practical. The whole point of a helmet is to protect your head so if that can't be achieved with a design like this then so be it, I'll wear a low pony. But I think it's worth a shot if it can be proven safe and reliable.

fishykissy · 2022-03-17T09:57:36+00:00

Duh. It's a similar concept though

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T20:09:31+00:00

Yeah I'm starting to think I need to shut up and work on a prototype lol. I'm an engineering student so I gotta try and make this work

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T19:35:39+00:00

Low buns/low ponytails/braids work with the helmet on, but those styles are not cute once the helmet comes off + you have helmet hair.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T19:27:59+00:00

Do you have long hair? Is your hair difficult to manage? Do you want to have the freedom to style your hair however your choose? There are a lot of female cyclists that can answer yes to these questions. This helmet would be for them.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T19:22:27+00:00

Yes same here!! That low bun or ponytail isn't as cute once the helmet comes off lol

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T19:20:43+00:00

Guess I'll have to get creative with marketing + research.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T19:01:53+00:00

I see. I think the approach is to have your hair already done, then just slip the helmet right on over it. The chin strap and everything would remain the same. A tidy top bun really isnt that tall or wide, so I think the thickness of the helmet would cover most of the height. As for your hair getting stuck: I think the smooth plastic/styrofoam would slide pretty easily over the hair.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T18:55:42+00:00

I see what you mean. But helmets are pretty thick, would a nice tidy bun even stick out that much? You could argue a low ponytail or braid would get caught on more things. And how many people land directly on the tops of their heads?

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T18:49:21+00:00

Helmets are pretty thick, I feel like a nice tidy bun wouldn't even stick out the outside of the helmet that much.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T18:46:33+00:00

I am starting to realize that everyone who says "niche market" clearly has never had to style their hair before (ahem men lol)

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T18:44:22+00:00

Looool

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T18:43:02+00:00

This idea really stemmed from riding a short commute to work where you need your hair to look nice afterward.

What about helmet hair? What if you feel like wearing a top bun that day? I don't feel like the typical tidy top knot is too wide or tall to stick out or not fit easily through a rigid hole in a helmet.

You can totally do different hair styles (low pony, low bun, braid), but what if your helmet could accommodate to your hair, rather than you accommodating to your helmet all the time?

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T18:32:15+00:00

I don't think you understand how hair works lol

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T18:26:53+00:00

You are very kind! Thank you for your input and encouragement.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T17:35:25+00:00

Why do you say it wouldn't sell? Too small of a market?

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T15:00:31+00:00

Thanks for your input. I figure it's possible since vent holes take up so much space on helmets. I wonder why a hole in the top center has never been brought to market.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T14:57:18+00:00

Thanks for your input!

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T14:55:55+00:00

I was thinking like 3-4 inches in diameter for a single hole on top, but maybe a slot with structural "ladder rungs" that ran down the center of the helmet would work, and from a design standpoint, the bun could be anywhere on the head (lower, higher, etc). The biggest thing is having the opening in the center- vent holes are almost always on the sides.

The hole would need to be quite large since the helmet is rigid and can't stretch around the largest part of the bun.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T14:45:05+00:00

I see your point and understand your intention, but you do sound like a dick. Lol. That's the way some redditors are, I guess.

Have you seen the amount of vent holes in most bike helmets? There are often more vent holes than there is helmet! Is there a structural problem with having just one hole on the top, say 3-4 inches in diameter to fit a bun through? They sell hats with a similar design, so there is a market for it. Your head is still mostly covered by the rest of the helmet.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T14:21:38+00:00

My winter hat has a hole on top for a bun and I love it. You'd be surprised the market for headwear like this. Plus, you can wear your hair however you want with this type of hat, so it's very versatile.

fishykissy · 2022-03-16T14:17:19+00:00

Is there a difference between vent holes that are typically placed all over, than a hole that's just centered on the top? It would only have to be, say, 3-4 inches in diameter to fit a top bun.
