Says who?I know that we’re not supposed to care how we look while doing the Camino
I know that we’re not supposed to care how we look while doing the Camino, but maybe someone can share a trick to help me. I’m 70, female with short wavy-ish hair. When I take a shower in the evening, wash my hair and then sleep on it, the next morning it looks crazy. Some parts are curly and some parts stand straight up. It’s not the end of the world. I did it. But does anyone have any tips that worked for them?
I don't think I ever showered right before bed on a Camino. Generally, I would arrive at the albergue in early afternoon and shower not too long after. After the shower was laundry time (washing the dirty clothes I had worn to walk before the shower), and I want there to be time for the clothes to dry, so I want to do laundry early. That means there is generally lots of time for my hair to dry between the shower and then sleeping on it.I know that we’re not supposed to care how we look while doing the Camino, but maybe someone can share a trick to help me.

Like what?Wear a Buff. It looks appropriate for the Camino at all times and keeps your hair in place...
Plus, there are a myriad of things you can use it for along the way.
My problem about wearing a buff in my hair is that I’m cold natured and usually have the buff around my neck.My hair isn’t short but got very unruly, so I just wore a buff.

LOVED mine!!
I have curly hair that can get quite frizzy especially when on camino ... I'll second T2Andreo's recommendation of buffs... i find using buff as a headband very useful! But for my last few caminos I have also brought a very small bottle of almond oil (from l'occitane) which can be used as a face or body moisturiser, hair oil, cleanser etc etc. I happen to love that brand but I am sure that other high quality oil could be used instead - the good thing about the oil is that you only need a TINY bit to calm hair..... i usually decant a portion of the purchased bottle into a little travel size.

That’s a splendid head of hair!! As someone said earlier, be grateful that you’ve got it.Here’s my hair with a headband. I was just wondering if anyone had a way to tame it without a blow dryer.View attachment 52591View attachment 52591

Most days, I am just grateful that I still HAVE hair...
Still a splendid head of hair!I think I edited out all three pics now. Oh well!
Or you can buy almond oil from most wholefood shops and many supermarkets at a fraction of the price. I just use whatever vegetable oil comes to hand when I'm traveling, olive oil is very good and there is plenty of that in Spain. I comb a tiny bit through my hair while it's wet after washing, which makes it easier to comb and means I don't need to carry conditioner.I have curly hair that can get quite frizzy especially when on camino ...

I had a similar hairstyle due to my head being to big for the most buffs. Is it not called q-tip do? By the way you look happy best Beaty tip ever.

I’ve just checked your photo - you’ll look amazing with crazy hair. Mine is springy and wild too and I am only a few years younger. However I walked with a young Catalonian woman, whose hair was entirely wild.You have to look a bit ‘different’ so that fellow pilgrims will remember youI know that we’re not supposed to care how we look while doing the Camino, but maybe someone can share a trick to help me.

You’re as cute as can be too! I’d love to see your packing list!Caring how you look isn't vanity, it's a compliment to the Spanish people who always look well dressed. I also have short hair but I don't wash it until it needs it which is usually every 3-4 days. After I wash my hair I spray it with a little hair styling product in a sample size and if no hair dryer available just let it air dry. Then in the morning I spray it with a little water and it's looking good. I also carry a cute fedora hat for the sun and a bandana cut in half diagonally that looks cute as a head band on unruly hair. Another thought is to get your hair cut very short before you leave--thats what I do. Very fashionable and easy. I am 73 and have been called the most fashionable woman on the Camino yet my backpack is still only 10 pounds.View attachment 52571

I’m 65 with long straight fine hair. I brought some Bobby pins and before bed put about 5 braids all over, curled them tightly and pinned them. I had waves all the next day, usually up in a buff. Better than lank and stringy...I agree, though, with a short stylish cut right before leaving you should be able to wet it in the morning and fix the parts sticking up !

Good , about time old mateSometimes I wash my hair at night
Thank you , we are gratefulGenerally I have a shower
Number Three or better still Two and a half all over.I think if I had short hair I would go to a man's barber and have them cut it very short before going.
Thats the girlI actually look pretty okay
The correct thing to do girls , give yourself a treat @ half the cost of back home.What I did do a few times, however, was visit a hairdresser when I came to a city. Having my hair shampooed, blow dried and straightened was bliss, bliss, bliss! None of the hairdressers spoke any English, and I don't speak much Spanish, but it's amazing what can be done with sign

Ultreïa!
We saw two young pilgrims last year that were carrying a hair dryer and hair straightening tongs!Sometimes I wash my hair at night, and then wet it in the morning (quicker and easier than a full shampoo). My hair dries very quickly. A more seriousproblem is what wearing a hat does to my careful coiffure.
It is time to embrace the eccentric!

Be nice with replies
My hair is naturally very afro and I have to use straighteners every time I wash it. And yes, I took travel straighteners with me on the Camino and yes, had to post them ahead when weight became a problem. From that point on (about day two!) I wore a buff. What I did do a few times, however, was visit a hairdresser when I came to a city. Having my hair shampooed, blow dried and straightened was bliss, bliss, bliss! None of the hairdressers spoke any English, and I don't speak much Spanish, but it's amazing what can be done with sign language.
I can't even manage that. These days my hair-care regime is to slick-down the remaining 3 survivors with a wetted finger...Most days, I am just grateful that I still HAVE hair...
