Some of us equine folks here have been talking about <helmet hair> for at
least five years. Helmet hair refers to a haircut such that no one can
tell whether you just removed a riding helmet from your head. It can also
refer to what hair looks like after one's helmet is removed if one does
not have such a haircut.
