Being from a biking country (Denmark)
Even here, people are pretty vain regarding helmets.
I started using it when reason displaced youth (30s).
It messes up my receding hair.
My recommendation is a Hövding. That’s an airbag for your head that won’t mess your hair or give eggshell associations.
Swedish brand that I’m not affiliated to in any other way than owning one myself.
Extremely expensive, but good value and easy to use.

interesting
we have mandatory bicycle helmet laws in australia for about 30 years (though sometimes I still forget). I wonder if this airbag thing would meet the criteria if some copper pulled you up

Hmm... £250 for a head protector you have to charge up, and their FB page is filled with comments from people whose airbags exploded spontaneously in non-accident situations?
I think I'll stick with my £40 Decathlon lid.
