- Camino Frances from SJPDP to Santiago - May-June 2019
(Walking)
Hello everyone,
EDIT: Ok, I really don't care about drying my hair. I like to dry it out naturally. The only thing I really can't stand is when I go to bed and my hair is still slightly damp. Humid, behind or close to the scalp. So, it's not I'm like spoiled or anything. On the contrary. I love adventure, and I can adapt to all situations. I just hate to have damp, maybe cold hair and skin right on my pillow.
I'm starting my first Camino from SJPDP in early May. I have read a lot so far, but couldn't find much on hair dryers. Now, how do you handle that?
I intend to take a shower every day, so to have an hairdryer at my disposal will be crucial, but I don't think Albergues would provide you with one, and even if they did have a couples to borrow, I'm sure the waiting would be quite long to say the least.
I will split between hostels and hotels , but even pensions and hotels may not have them. Therefore, after pondering about this potential issue, I have come to the conclusion that I will carry a relatively small one made for traveling. However, I'm interested to know your opinions and your habits for that matter while you are on the Camino. Do you, or you do not, carry an hairdryer in your backpack? And if not, how do you cope with that?
Thanks to all in advance, and buen Camino!
