    Equipment advised for a four-days walk: from Santiago to Finisterre/Muxia

    Hair

    to have short hair or long hair is a personal choice. my preference will be short hair as it is more manageable and tidy. nobody will really pay any attention even with gray hair showing. we have, including me, many senior citizens walking the caminos with greying or gray hairs. buen camino.
