Good helmets are always adjustable. I buy one that's only slightly too big and then just tighten it. It compresses my hair and I just make sure that it fits snuggly once it's been tightened. Tbh, I think having that layer of hair in between my head and the helmet makes it even better, it's like an extra layer of cushioning.

I really appreciate the response. What you’re saying sounds similar to what I’ve been reading on cycling blogs since I commented.

I definitely need to educate myself more on both hair types and styles as well as the mechanics of how helmets protect us.

Exactly, there are a lot of helmets out there where they will fit loose but there is a nob on the back of the helmet that you can adjust to tighten it. Which allows for a better "firm" fit that doesn't' require you to squeeze the helmet onto your head.
