What Hair Supplies Should You Bring On A Trip?
There are many things that you will want to bring on your camping trip to make sure that your hair is taken care of. You will use shampoo and conditioner in most cases, although some people may only take that. If you have long or thick hair, you may want to take a blow dryer. You can also bring individual packs of products for different body parts or different skin types.
What do you do if you didn’t bring shampoo?
For those who cannot find shampoo, there are other ways to wash your hair. If you are camping close to a river or lake, you can take a small amount of water, put it in a cup, and rub it on your head.
Water will work just as well as a regular shampoo for cleaning your hair. However, water’s ability to remove oils and residue is not even close to being the same as the ability of expensive shampoos on the market. It is strongly recommended that you first use this technique for your hair until you can find a bottle of shampoo or until you can return to your home.
You may also consider washing your hair with water only if you have been out in the sun for a long period and have gone swimming. Osmosis, the transfer of liquids between cells, will help clean oils off of hair strands.
If the lack of shampoo results from living out of civilization and not having access to a grocery store, then you will want to make sure that you use a cleaning solution that is appropriate for bathing. Baking soda and vinegar are common household products that could be used for this purpose as long as neither irritates the skin or eyes.

It may be necessary for you to cut your hair in a specific way or do other things to make it easier for you while on your trip.

Most people do not want to go camping without making sure that their hair is clean, so if you do not have any shampoo, you will need to take other measures.
Before packing up, you will want to ensure that you have washed your hair at least once. You may even want to comb it out to get rid of any knots, tangles, or other problems.
