Thanks!

Go try some on and pick one that fits... That's about it.

The fit is important, you shouldn't be able to shake your head around inside the helmet, but it should go on without pulling your ears off. (Although I do lose an earring every now and then when pulling mine on!)
The only way is to go in and try them all on. Cute is the last thing to think about. I'm sure that you will look great in whatever one fits best. Don't we all?

Especially after you take off the helmet and get that awesome helmet head!!

Uh...I meant Froggie!!!

Personally, I only wear Shoei or Arai helmets they are a little more expensive but the fit and quality is unbelievable, my head is way too precious for me to risk putting on anything less...

I have an Arai, 3/4 with face shield and I love it. I also have a half helmet, but prefer my 3/4. It is comfortable, looks great, and I feel protected knowing that I have the top of the line helmet.

Helmets are supposed to be a snug fit, but like Claybird said, youre not supposed to hurt your ears pulling them on and off. I know when I finally go look for one, I'm going to have so much trouble with my ears cas of ear projects (lots of connecting earings in the cartilage).

Ouch! My problem has always been that I have big ears. So they always get scrunched a little pulling the helmet off and on, even when I pull the helmet out on the sides. Oh well. I couldn't imagine wearing metal in my ears with the helmet on, like I said, ouch!
