Creative ways to make my helmet more noticeable

So I’ve switched helmets again. My hair is big and full face helmets give me headaches. I understand how dangerous eskating can be and although I didn’t hit my head, I did get hit by a car while wearing my lighter skateboard helmet. So, I finally bought another one. It wound up being black and I know how hard it is for people in there cars in broad daylight to see us so I figured I’d creatively make my helmet more obvious. I’m specifically looking for ways to look more noticeable in daylight. I actually think neon lights and all the lights on my board make me noticeable in the dark. So that hasn’t been a problem yet.

PS, I recommend trying the helmet on before buying it. I got to try out a bunch of different ones and learned how much differently different ones feel between brands and models.

I use a triple8 skate helmet and it comes super reflective at night, during the day it looks kinda gray but at night it looks like the reflective bumps on the road
