    If you're wearing a hat to keep sun away from your eyes, not from your hair, you could also try something like this. There's room in the back for a bun

    A crown braid ? Braids pinned flat against your head ? Maybe a bun that lays flat ? Don't know if it's do-able, but those are the first things that I think of. I think it's best to experiment and see what feels the most comfortable for you. And trying different updos is fun.

    I love big hats in the summer and find wearing my hair up in Milkmaid style braids
    (2 braids pinned across the top of my head) works great.

    I know buns have been mentioned, but a low chinese bun is usually what I do in winter, with the pin low enough it doesn't hit the brim
    Tailbone, with deliciously oily strands...hmm...I should probably take a picture with clean hair. At some point. Next stop, classic! And maybe some henna...

    I tend to like a low horizontal bun, like an infinity bun under a hat. That works well with a hairstick, too, which is often the most comfortable way for me to bun my hair. Alternatively, flattish cinnamon buns secured with pins at the crown often work for me. However, I don't have iii hair and I tend to look for hats with some hair room.

    For helmets, I'm known to braid my hair, then loop the bottom of the braid up to make a loop. This gets the ends out of the sun at least, and it prevents me from having a long braid swinging near the top tube of my bike.

    Try the Milkmaid braids! They are so comfortable under a hat.

    I think a low braided bun would look great, personally.
    Fast typer.
