Raci-Babi™ Helmet Liner Stops Tangles and Knots for Women Motorcyclists
2UpTouring announces the Raci-Babi™ Diva-Do™ Helmet Liner. Designed by a female motorcyclist, the Diva-Do is comfortable, wicks moisture, prevents helmet head and stops tangles and knots.

Saint Petersburg, FL, December 5, 2011 - 2UpTouring, the official retail source for Raci-Babi products is pleased to announce the Raci-Babi Diva-Do. A unique helmet liner designed by a female motorcyclist, the Diva-Do is comfortable and quick and easy to put on. The patented design protects the female rider’s hair quickly and easily before riding, eliminating “helmet hair” at the end of the ride and eliminates tangles and knots.

Since women first discovered motorcycles they have been plagued by the battle to keep their hair safely out of the way and protected while riding. When Anna Hood of Raci-Babi got involved with motorcycling she was amazed to find how little useful information existed on how to keep her hair looking feminine and attractive.

“I’ve always been pretty independent and adventurous but at the same time I really enjoy looking my best. When I got involved with motorcycling it didn’t take long to realize looking my best was going to be a challenge” said Anna Hood, the founder of Raci-Babi.

Anna’s research on the web and with other women riders resulted in deluge of unacceptable solutions. Ponytails and wraps helped with the tangles but took too much time and caused breakage and split ends. Various conditioners and treatments were suggested but leaving them in her hair while wearing a helmet or applying them at the end of a ride wasn’t going to yield the result she was looking for. After unsuccessfully trying everything she could find she decided to create a solution herself.

Each of her rides became a test of different ways to solve the problem. After several years and numerous prototypes she finally created a helmet liner that allowed her to get ready in seconds, prevented helmet hair and tangles and allowed her to completely avoid de-tangling and brushing her hair after a ride.

Her story almost ended there. She’d solved her helmet hair problem and riding was a lot more fun.

Then something serendipitous happened. On a ride at the famous Tail of the Dragon in the Smoky Mountains she stopped at an overlook parking lot. After taking off her helmet and having her hair cascade smoothly out of her new invention a girl ran over and demanded to know “Where did you get that?” When Anna explained that she had made it herself the girl implored her to make one for her. The businesswoman in Anna didn’t need any additional prompting to know that this was a product women who rode were looking for.

Since then the Raci-Babi Diva-Do has received US Patent Number D629180 and thousands have been sold around the world. The Diva-Do is manufactured in the USA using specifically selected active wear materials that wick moisture but do not absorb essential hair oils. This allows the Diva-Do to prevent the flattening well known and dreaded by all motorcyclists while providing an exceptionally comfortable fit.

The design of the Diva-Do uses a seamless headpiece, adjustable ties and an elasticized hair pocket. The rider’s hair is gathered in a bun (or ponytail). The hair pocket is placed over the bun while the hair ties are used to bring the headpiece over the head and then brought back and tied around the hair pocket, securing the riders hair in the hair pocket and snugly holding the Diva-Do on the head.

The Diva-Do works with all helmets, including full face, three quarter and half helmets for any sport where a helmet is part of the protective gear. The Diva-Do can also be worn without a helmet for exercising, running or any activity where the wind causes tangles and knots. The Diva-Do has been tested in a hurricane wind tunnel and stayed on in 80+ MPH winds.

A wide variety of solids and fashion prints are available in a full range of colors to suit every mood from mild to wild.

It would be wonderful to take off your helmet and let your unsnarly hair cascade down. After getting off the Spyder, I look like something the cat drug in. ARGGG!!!

First thing I do is to get a bandanna, look in the rear view mirror and wipe the road grime off my face. Secondly, put a hat on.

Have ridden with other Lady Ryders who awesome after taking their helmets off.

Thanks for the heads-up on the secrets to looking nice on the road.

I DO have that insurance. Maybe its the headband that makes the difference? :D

The only time you'll see my hair is first thing in the morning. After the helmet comes off, the hat goes on.

Have any of you tried the helment liner? Do you like it?

The problem I have with wearing a helment is that my head gets hot and feels like I am getting a sunburn. I:yikes:t doesn't matter whether it is hot or cold outside. I've tried a bandana, but I get so frustrated with it because it moves around when I'm putting the helment on...so I end up just taking it off because it won't stay where I want it. Do any of you have this problem? If so, have you found a solution? Do you think this 'satan' helment liner would keep my head cool? I personally don't like satin on my body...too clingy and hot....never tried it on my head. So any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Vicky

If your head feels like it's sunburned then you may need to find a helmet with better ventilation. Whenever my head starts to feel warm, I open the front and rear vent on my helmet and this allows the air to flow through, cooling my head.
As far as a helmet liner goes, I no longer wear one. I have short hair and like it styled to look spiked and a bit messy and found that wearing a liner compresses my hair too much and doesn't allow my hair to stand up without having to re-apply hair product.

hhhhhmmmm! Ok Thanks!

I do have air flowing through, but I guess it must not be enough because I feel like my head is baking in there. The top of my head is red when I take my helment off. The only thing that has worked so far is soaking the bandana in our ice chest melted water and put it on my head followed by the helment. It helps keep it cool for about an hour. I can't do that when it is cold outside! Even if it is cold out...my head is still hot.

Maybe I will have to take a look at some other helments and see if there are some out there that has a better air flow.
