Campsite Beauty Routines
Ladies, there’s no question your normal beauty routine will go by the wayside on a camping trip. Ponytails and baseball caps will probably become your normal hairstyle. But even if you’re not perfectly coiffed, you can still feel pretty clean and good after a day hiking or canoeing or just having fun.
First, if you’ve got a reasonably clean water supply you’re in luck. There are plenty of biodegradable shampoos and conditioners around now that will make your hair feel great and not contaminate the water supply. Some even come in solid form to make them supremely portable. So if you can bring your hair to the water or the water to your hair, go ahead and indulge.
But what do you do if where you’re camping doesn’t have clean water? In this instance you should consider packing a dry shampoo. This is a powder that you sprinkle onto your scalp and then allow to absorb the excess oils before you brush it away. It’s no substitute for a hot shower, but it will keep your hair from getting too dirty.
