Helmets do manage to hide a lot, and the Rohirrim were also desperate for strength. At best, Eowyn would probably look like a very young teenager, trying to go to war. The Rohirrim were at the stage where, any able-bodied man or strong lad would be allowed to ride, just because they needed as many spears as they could get. Besides, perhaps Elfhelm sympathized with Eowyn. After all, she did have as good a right as any to ride to the defense of Middle-earth. It was her land as much as it was Theoden's or Eomer's.
