        The helmet could create an slight air tight seal when he puts it on

          Since a Speedster generates electricity when then run, we can theorize that the metal helmet stays on because of electro magnetic force or extreme static charge (cling)

            I don't know. When Thor came to the big screen, they gave him a cool helmet design, but he rarely wears it and it makes some sense. Because unless it has a chinstrap, how could it stay on his head with all the flying he does? It's suspension of disbelief in the comics, but in the movies they went the logical route without ever needing to elaborate. DC, outside of the Christopher Nolan films, they go for looks and override logic. Comics are not quite the real world; you need to translate it to a medium that's more realistic and less exaggerated.

              The electricity emanating from Jay's running induces a magnetic field which helps prevent the helmet from falling off his head.

                It's all the mysterious Speed Force. Actual physics has nada to do with it :D. Speed force is why Flash can carry people and they immediately don't die from g-force shock or lung collapse, and why he can do stuff like punch through time only going 1500 mph, when humans have gone 36,000mph and bupkus happens.

                  thor doesnt wear the helmet because it would obscure his face and hes an actor, if he was 'real' he would wear a helmet. Its like in medieval films where the hero takes off his helmet, in real life it would be a moronic thing to do

                        The wings continue through the helmet into sockets drilled into his scalp.
                        Actually, aerodynamics would explain it. If he's leaning forward at all when he runs, a natural posture, the wind would push it onto his head. He would have to be leaning his head back or run into an updraft for the air to flow properly to push the hat off his head, neither of which is likely at superspeed.
                        All roads lead to truth if you're willing to travel honestly.

                              Comic book world logic. Kinda like how Wonder Woman holds up her bustier while running and fighting.

                                  Am I a bad person for chuckling every time Kara runs toward the camera to pull back her shirt and reveal her Supergirl costume? I mean, for a second it almost looks like something else is going to happen LOL

                                      Super busty Power Girl - that's a show that would be definite appointment viewing, yes!
                                      I would so high-five DC if they make her cleavage window the running gag it's long been in the comics.
